The accounts are not registered in the ejabberd.cfg file.   They are  
kept in database (which can
be dumped and reloaded using ejabberdctl).  Thus, omicron doesn't  
have an account on your new machine.

This is absolutely necessary, and was the sticking point for me last  
week on a schoolserver.

Take a look at the command line parameters to ejabberdctl.   I  
wouldn't expect those commands to work.

Yes, please.

Correct.   You were trying  http://18.85.46.175:5280/admin/, right ?

That is interesting.   The server is up and running, and thinks that  
140 of the
7500+ registered users are currently using it.   You might try  
restarting it ?
