Details

Description:
The ejabberd server doesn't start.

Additional info:
* ejabberd 2.1.0_rc1-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install ejabberd
2. Try to start it.

The first part of this bug was quite straightforward - the configuration files used by this program had some incorrect permissions, so that the server couldn't read its own settings:

$ ls -l /etc/ejabberd/
total 24
-rw-r----- 1 root root 13235 2009-09-28 15:58 ejabberd.cfg
-rw-r----- 1 root root 3835 2009-09-14 00:20 ejabberdctl.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 2009-09-14 00:20 inetrc

So I just used:

# chown ejabberd /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg
# chown ejabberd /etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg

It may not be the only bug in this version, as I'm still trying to make it work.
I will post if I find any other strange things.
This task depends upon

It seems that if I start it with "/etc/rc.d/ejabberd start" , it tells "[DONE]", starts some processes but doesn't bind to port 5222 but if I start it with "ejabberdctl start", it starts and binds to port 5222.

After I edited the .cfg to add my DNS name and used "ejabberdctl register <username> <dns-name> <password>", my pidgin says "503: service unavailable".

To be continued.

It seems that I finally managed to connect via pidgin. The problem was that I used the wrong password... my bad :)

From my part, the case is closed, as it works for me (with few workarounds), but other users may thnk otherwise.
