Ejabberd server restarts again and again..!

Hi all..!

I created a file named mod_post_log.erl that encrypts xmpp messages and get decoded on the other side using php. When I uploaded this file on server . The server started restarting again and again. I got the following error in the error log of ejabberd :

{{badmatch,{xmlel,<<"message">>,[{<<"type">>,<<"chat">>},{<<"to">>,<<"aaaa@xxxx.com">>},{<<"from">>,<<"bbbb@xxx.com">>},{<<"id">>,<<"tVuhkU1FCW">>}],[{xmlel,<<"body">>,[],[{xmlcdata,<<"{\n \"packetId\" : \"pYyYk-67\",\n \"publicKey\" : \"ftghGfMA0GdqGSIb3DQEBAsdfgUAA4GNADCBiQKBasdfg4JE#NLnhh3InKTaQIDAQAB\"\n}">>}]},{xmlel,<<"subject">>,[],[{xmlcdata,<<"request_message">>}]},{xmlel,<<"request">>,[{<<"xmlns">>,<<"urn:xmpp:receipts">>}],[]}]}},[{mod_post_log,log_packet,3,[{file,"src/mod_post_log.erl"},{line,49}]},{mod_post_log,log_user_send,4,[{file,"src/mod_post_log.erl"},{line,37}]},{ejabberd_hooks,safe_apply,3,[{file,"src/ejabberd_hooks.erl"},{line,382}]},{ejabberd_hooks,run_fold1,4,[{file,"src/ejabberd_hooks.erl"},{line,365}]},{ejabberd_c2s,session_established2,2,[{file,"src/ejabberd_c2s.erl"},{line,1296}]},{p1_fsm,handle_msg,10,[{file,"src/p1_fsm.erl"},{line,582}]},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3,[{file,"proc_lib.erl"},{line,237}]}]}

I am having difficulty in understanding this error message. Please help me to understand it and possibly solve this error..

I don't see why the server

I don't see why the server would restart just for having that badmatch problem.

That error means that in this function, in that line:
[{mod_post_log,log_packet,3,[{file,"src/mod_post_log.erl"},{line,49}]}
you have an assigment (a match) like
a = b
but obviously b doesn't match a.
In your case the code may be more complicated, like:
A=a,
A=b,
or:
{ok, Value} = {xmlel, a, b, c}.
