Bug#516718: Freshly installed ejabberd fails to start
Some additional information describing Erlang problems with User Mode Linux (in 2.6.32.49, so a long time ago) and a response indicating that futex support in UML may be deficient for the purposes of running ejabberd: https://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux- u...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07180.html https://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux- u...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07188.html So, I suppose my problem really is down to UML and not ejabberd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#516718: Freshly installed ejabberd fails to start
Just tested this with ejabberd from jessie (2.1.11-1). It seems like the problem may be threading/SMP-related: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-May/058249.html http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2012-April/065957.html Maybe my User Mode Linux installation is not able to provide the necessary information to the Erlang virtual machine when configured to use system threads. And perhaps this is a distinct bug from the one originally reported (even though the directory ownership problem did exist in 2.1.10-4+deb7u1). If so, I'll gladly see it renamed or split into another bug, if appropriate. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#516718: Freshly installed ejabberd fails to start
Package: ejabberd Version: 2.1.10-4+deb7u1 Followup-For: Bug #516718 Dear Maintainer, I have experienced this or a related problem today when installing ejabberd. At the setup stage, the following is shown: Setting up ejabberd (2.1.10-4+deb7u1) ... adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ejabberd' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. Generating SSL certificate /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem... Creating config file /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg with new version Starting jabber server: ejabberdFailed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted The latter message is repeated over and over, with only Ctrl-Z usable to stop the process (for subsequent manual termination). Running "dpkg --configure -a" just repeats the same problem: Setting up ejabberd (2.1.10-4+deb7u1) ... Starting jabber server: ejabberdFailed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted Failed to set thread main status: Invalid argument (22) Aborted Performing an "apt-get remove" successfully removes the package (the error loop above does not occur - the script just gives up), and an "apt-get install" repeats the situation, albeit without the warning about /var/lib/ejabberd. I'm running this system under User Mode Linux, but this doesn't usually cause problems with other network-related software. With a broken package, it does seem to be possible to invoke the daemon manually using the command from the init script, and as pointed out in another bug (#709754), an epmd daemon gets started, but the package state does not seem to be fixable. I hope this provides useful information. It's rare to see a Debian package fail in this way.

As I have no idea how to test ejabberd with KVM (never used any hard-core virtualization solutions with Linux), my proposition is as follows. Assuming you have a working setting in which you can reliably reproduce your problem, please do these steps: 1) Ensure the network side is OK, that is, at least nothing listens on tcp/5222 and tcp/5269, and that ejabberd is stopped (no beam or beam.smp processes are running). 2) Delete the contents of /var/log/ejabberd. 3) Start ejabberd. 4) If it fails to start, see if it dropped an Erlang crash dump. If it did, gzip anything found in /var/log/ejabberd after the crash and stash it away. 5) Cleanup after crash, that is, repeat steps 1 and 2. 6) Try starting ejabberd using # /etc/init.d/ejabberd live This will run it in foreground. If ejabberd crashes, scroll its terminal output until you see a crash error message and copy a handful of lines from it. In any case, after reproducing a crash post the collected data here. Then I'll try to analyze the data and possibly request more info about your setup. In other words, let's do a clean start with your problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Please re-send the crash dump (it's not a log file) but this time compress it first (by doing `gzip -9 erl_crash.dump` to get erl_crash.dump.gz) -- the file was interpreted as ASCII when you sent it and it became mangled so I can't load it into the debugging tool. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Version: 2.0.1-6+lenny1
Followup-For: Bug #516718
Hi,
it looks like I have the same problem as described in the bug.
Reinstalling with
apt-get remove --purge erlang-base erlang-nox libsctp1 lksctp-tools
apt-get install --reinstall ejabberd
output is:
--
Setting up erlang-nox (1:12.b.3-dfsg-4) ...
Setting up ejabberd (2.0.1-6+lenny1) ...
adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ejabberd' does not belong to the

Generating SSL certificate /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem...
Creating config file /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg with new version
Starting jabber server:
ejabberd failed.

So the reinstlall also does not help. The problem appears using just an empty
config. After install, ejabberd is trying
to start automatically but fails. At least it says so even if the server seems
to be running.
calling:
ps aux | egrep -e '(beam|epmd)'
gives the result:
