Been messing with installing a new module and I can't seem to figure out where to put the download module. A million pages say the location is created in $HOME/.ejabberd-modules but it's not there. What's the issue?
Version 15.11 on Ubuntu.
Thanks,
Looking for ejabberd docs?

This is how it works: 1. You
This is how it works:
1. You configure the option CONTRIB_MODULES_PATH in the file ejabberdctl.cfg
2. Start ejabberd
3. Execute: ejabberdctl modules_update_specs
4. ejabberd will create that dir, download a zip and uncompress it
5. Then you execute: ejabberdctl module_install some_module
Once you know how it works, you can write any other module you made.
Maybe there was some problem creating the dir, make sure you set a path where ejabberd can create files (you can set /tmp/testdir just for testing that). Or maybe there was some problem downloading the zip file, or who knows... is there any relevant report in the ejabberd log files?
