ejabberd doesn’t run after apt-get install ejabberd

This is on Ubuntu. Edit /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg and make sure that the host in:

CODE:
  1. %% Admin user
  2. {acl, admin, {user, "nemo", "ns-interns02"}}.
  3.  
  4. %% Hostname
  5. {hosts, ["ns-interns02"]}.

is a valid DNS name. I didn't try with with the default value of localhost.

    Actually, for eJabberd, it doesn’t need to be a valid DNS name after all. It’s enough to be a valid Netbios name. In Windows LANs you have the Netbios over TCP/IP “thing” so that’s a way to resolve pc names to IP addresses.
