Hi, I installed ejabberd from src. After configuration and started ejabberd by calling erl. I found epmd and beam process running and somebody(it must be ejabberd) is listening at 5280,5222,5223,and it also want to occupy 8888. After I started ejabberd, the prompt switched to ejabberd@honstname>
Then at another computer, I type
for it was asking me the user name and password. I tried admin, admin@hostname with blank password. It let me try 3 times then a 401 error messaage shows up.
On the server side, I cannot find anything wrong.
The following is the ejabberd.cfg file followed by the log file.

Re: Cannot login http://hostname:5280/admin
I tried admin, admin@hostname with blank password. It let me try 3 times then a 401 error messaage shows up.
On the server side, I cannot find anything wrong.
You first need to create a user with administrative permissions, check the documentation; there is a section with step-by-step instructions.
I tried ejabberdctl --node ejabberd@whatever status
It all dupms RPC failed.
Is that possible that I should enable something for something RPC service in the Linux?
I know I should use ejabberdctl to create a password for admin. Is this right?
I read somewhere says it needs some patch for this release then it failed to work after patch. Somehow no solution yet.
Any way I need understand what RPC failed means. Simply because it cannot find the hostname or something else?
Sorry, the --node should not be there.
Now it accepts the command and reported it is started.
Then I fired a command ejabberdctl ejabber@hostname rigister admin hostname "thepassword"
No error.
Then I typed
Not allowed!
I think it needs configuration previledge. I will find out the command to assign the admin with configuration previledge.
I already saw this in the configuration file. I do not know why it did not work.
Client cannot connect to the server.
This is my configuration file. I canno figour out what is wrong.
Someone please help!
Is there any debug mode so that we can find any hint from the log file? Now the log file is useless. No error can be grapped.

Ejabberd is running, but do not know how to connect to it, help!
Hi, I have made the ejabberd running. I opened the page but I do not understand anything in it.
How to set up a client?
The client can make a new account or we have to set it up for him prior he get connected?
I used the same user name and password which is used in the adminstration page and tried to connect ejabberd server from Exodus, it always failed to log to my server. Then I had a look in the server it says the connnection has accepted.
If any body would help me, I would give you the user name and password to go into my administration page to set up an initial configuration for me.
