I installed ejabberd yesterday, and installed jwchat. After a lot of fiddling, and interpretation of documentation (which isn't very good on use and admin), I got it up and running. But when I registered the users I got an error message. Unfortunately, I cannot add it here, as I decided to restart my server. This caused it to coredump after about 1-2 minutes, and I have been unable to get it up and working ever since.
I checked the logs, and they are empty. Not a peep. erlangd.log is also empty, although it does dump core.
I straced it, and I get this:
[{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 1}], 0) = 32595
Any idea what this is telling me?
Uninstall ejabberd. Make sure
Uninstall ejabberd. Make sure the processes epmd, beam, beam.smp are not running. Delete the Mnesia spool dir, and ejabberd config. Then install ejabberd and start as you did before. It is common sense that you will get it running, as you say you got first time.
