   ./configure
   make

4. Enable http-bind on ejabberd.cfg, for example:

             supervisor: {local,ejabberd_listeners}
                started: [{pid,<0.249.0>},
                          {name,5280},
                          {mfa,{ejabberd_listener,
                                   start,
