Dissallows connectionf from ejabberdctl

Hi,

I'm trying to install ejabberd, and any Jabber server, for the first time. I'm using Debian Sarge system and i compiled erlang and ejabberd manually from the newest stable versions posted. The compilations went fine and i installed both packages on the system. Then i modified the installed configuration file at /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg so that it recognizes my hostname.

My objective is to get ejabberd serve only locally with a domain name that has no .affix. The complete domain name is "foobar" and it works fine in our intranet for serving databases, apache etc. But whatever i try, i can't get ejabberd to work.

At first i had troubles starting the thing, which seemingly was related to one commandline parameter, it always just started in the erl console. Well i solved that by tweaking the commandline that i'm starting the server with: ``erl -pa /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin -sname ejabberd -s ejabberd -ejabberd config \"/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg\" log_path \"/var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log\" -mnesia dir \"/var/lib/ejabberd/spool\"``

The next step should be running ejabberctl, right? Well, at first it didn't run at all, but i copied it to /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin as hinted at one post on this forum and it started running. But it cannot connect to the server which with ``./ejabberctl ejabberd@foobar status`` which i run from the same directory i copied it to. It says "RPC failed on the node ejabberd@foobar: nodedown" and the console where i ran the ejabberd server itself says "** Connection attempt from disallowed node ejabberdctl@foobar **"

Well, i ignored that and tried to connect through the web interface, which asks for a password, but then comes up with an empty screen, regardless of what i put in the password field. The console says:

I'm completely clueless on what to do to fix this. Any info would be helpful.
