[Server-devel] XS software compatibility question

[John Watlington]

I don't have enough information to suggest anything, just offer
condolences and vague comments  :-)

 From your command line info I assume that you are
having problems keeping ejabberd running,
not connecting or collaborating after starting it up.

There is a brief time during startup when ejabberd is running
but the status is returned as stopped.    Other than during time,
I usually don't see ejabberd processes running while service
(or ejabberdctl) say it isn't running.  This only lasts for a minute  
or so.

Can you take a look at /var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log ?  Usually
when ejabberd has problems starting, the error is logged
cryptically there...
