There's a new ejabberd version with virtual hosting and shared roster support:

Important comments:

  • On the web administration, you must use:
    • name: the full JID of an administrator on that Jabber server. You can give admin privileges to any Jabber account (on this Jabber server or any other) on ejabberd.cfg.
    • password: the password of that Jabber account.
  • If you upgrade from previous ejabberd, you must replace on your old ejabberd.cfg
    {host, "myjabber.mycompany.com"}.
    with
    {hosts, ["myjabber.mycompany.com"]}.
