Problem in the log:
Error reading Mnesia database spool files: The Mnesia database couldn't read the spool file for the table 'config'. ejabberd needs read and write access in the directory: /var/lib/ejabberd/spool Maybe the problem is a change in the computer hostname, or a change in the Erlang node name, which is currently: ejabberd@asterisk Check the ejabberd guide for details about changing the computer hostname or Erlang node name.
Solution:
- Stop ejabberd.
/etc/init.d/ejabberd stop
2. Kill processes: beam, beam.smp, epmd
killall ejabberd killall beam killall beam.smp killall epmd
3. Remove the files in /var/lib/ejabberd (Create a backup copy of this folder just in case)
rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd/* rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd/.erlang.cookie
4. Try to start ejabberd.
/etc/init.d/ejabberd start
