Hi all, I've recently returned to our pilot implementation in Jimeta, Nigeria for a follow up teacher training and I found the server in need of quite a bit of work.
When attempting: service ejabberd status I was receiving an "unknown host" error as well as: Ejabberdctl status fails with "RPC failed on node sta...@servername: nodedown" I followed the re-install instructions from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ejabberd_Configuration#Troubleshooting Try the following to fix ejabberd, basically reinstall it /etc/init.d/ejabberd stop killall epmd rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd rpm -e --nodeps ejabberd yum install ejabberd Fix config files -- /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg Make sure you can ping your fully qualified domain name --- BryanWB I've since re-run (I've input my actual domain below for clarity: /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domain_config lccnjimeta.org Then I checked /etc/sysconfig/network for my hostname: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org I then followed the setup instructions enabling jabber at boot and rebooted. When I run: ejabberdctl status I end up with an error report (which I assume implies a crash). The problem seems to surround: "Error when reading /var/lib/ejabberd/.erlang.cookie: eacces" I'm thinking that perhaps whatever version of ejabberd was in the rpm I downloaded following the reinstall instructions above might be the problem... If it's not clear from my post here, my Linux experience is quite limited and most of it was 6 or 7 years ago. I'd like to re-install ejabberd from whatever location makes most sense given that the initial installation of the school server was done in May 09 with what was at that time the most current release (5.2 I believe?). 1) Is this a good first step? 2) Can someone send me newbie level instructions for taking a good first step? 3) Any other newbie level recommendations? Thanks for any assistance! -Dan However, I was still receiving the unknown host error as well as a new problem, where just attempting to check the status of the service was crashing either ejabberd or erlang, I found one hit on google that led me here: http://www.digitalruin.net/node/20 My crash output included the line mentioned about half way down the page in the post above "Error when reading /var/lib/ejabberd/.erlang.cookie: eacces"
