I'm having trouble configuring register_web_admin. I get an error message that says "Not allowed". I was wondering if someone could give me pointers on the problem, or how to debug it. I have captchas set up correctly (I see the picture on the register page). I've tried to disable captchas by commenting out captcha_cmd etc but that doesn't seem to do anything (neither fixes the problem or removes the captcha prompt).

My jabber config file is as follows:
%%%
%%% ejabberd configuration file
%%%
%%%'
%%% The parameters used in this configuration file are explained in more detail
%%% in the ejabberd Installation and Operation Guide.
%%% Please consult the Guide in case of doubts, it is included with
%%% your copy of ejabberd, and is also available online at
%%%
%%% This configuration file contains Erlang terms.
%%% In case you want to understand the syntax, here are the concepts:
%%%
%%% - The character to comment a line is %
%%%
%%% - Each term ends in a dot, for example:
%%% override_global.
%%%
%%% - A tuple has a fixed definition, its elements are
%%% enclosed in {}, and separated with commas:
%%% {loglevel, 4}.
%%%
%%% - A list can have as many elements as you want,
%%% and is enclosed in [], for example:
%%% [http_poll, web_admin, tls]
%%%
%%% - A keyword of ejabberd is a word in lowercase.
%%% Strings are enclosed in "" and can contain spaces, dots, ...
%%% {language, "en"}.
%%% {ldap_rootdn, "dc=example,dc=com"}.
%%%
%%% - This term includes a tuple, a keyword, a list, and two strings:
%%% {hosts, ["jabber.example.net", "im.example.com"]}.

%%%' DATABASE SETUP
%% ejabberd by default uses the internal Mnesia database,
%% so you do not necessarily need this section.
%% This section provides configuration examples in case
%% you want to use other database backends.
%% Please consult the ejabberd Guide for details on database creation.

%% MySQL server:
%%
%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "server", "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you want to specify the port:
%%{odbc_server, {mysql, "server", 1234, "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% PostgreSQL server:
%%
%%{odbc_server, {pgsql, "server", "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you want to specify the port:
%%{odbc_server, {pgsql, "server", 1234, "database", "username", "password"}}.
%%
%% If you use PostgreSQL, have a large database, and need a

%%{pgsql_users_number_estimate, true}.

%%{odbc_server, "DSN=ejabberd;UID=ejabberd;PWD=ejabberd"}.

%% Number of connections to open to the database for each virtual host
%%
%%{odbc_pool_size, 10}.
%%
%% Interval to make a dummy SQL request to keep the connections to the
%% database alive. Specify in seconds: for example 28800 means 8 hours
%%
%%{odbc_keepalive_interval, undefined}.

%%%' ACCESS RULES
%% Maximum number of simultaneous sessions allowed for a single user:
{access, max_user_sessions, [{10, all}]}.
%% Maximum number of offline messages that users can have:
{access, max_user_offline_messages, [{5000, admin}, {100, all}]}.
%% This rule allows access only for local users:
{access, local, [{allow, local}]}.
%% Only non-blocked users can use c2s connections:
{access, c2s, [{deny, blocked},
{allow, all}]}.
%% For C2S connections, all users except admins use the "normal" shaper
{access, c2s_shaper, [{none, admin},
{normal, all}]}.
%% All S2S connections use the "fast" shaper
{access, s2s_shaper, [{fast, all}]}.
%% Only admins can send announcement messages:
{access, announce, [{allow, admin}]}.
%% Only admins can use the configuration interface:
{access, configure, [{allow, admin}]}.
%% Admins of this server are also admins of the MUC service:
{access, muc_admin, [{allow, admin}]}.
%% Only accounts of the local ejabberd server can create rooms:
{access, muc_create, [{allow, local}]}.
%%- All users are allowed to use the MUC service:
%%-{access, muc, [{allow, all}]}.
%% Only accounts of the local ejabberd server can use the MUC service:
{access, muc, [{allow, local}]}.
%% Only accounts on the local ejabberd server can create Pubsub nodes:
{access, pubsub_createnode, [{allow, local}]}.
%% In-band registration allows registration of any possible username.
%% To disable in-band registration, replace 'allow' with 'deny'.
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.
%% By default the frequency of account registrations from the same IP
%% is limited to 1 account every 10 minutes. To disable, specify: infinity
%%{registration_timeout, 600}.
%%
%% Define specific Access Rules in a virtual host.
