Ejabberd not starting after installation

[profoundman]

Hello,
Would like to report that Ejabberd fails to run after new installation on Synology.
No error msg during installation. However after install, the app attempt to start for 2 minutes after failing with the msg (Failed to run the package service)

System is: DS412+
OS version: DSM 6.0-7321 Update 1

Your help in this matter is appreciated

Thank you.

same here. tried to start it from commandline. here is the output:

Starting ejabberd ...
id: ejabberd: no such user
/usr/local/ejabberd/sbin/ejabberdctl: line 68: [: : integer expression expected
su: user ejabberd does not exist

[letmp]

after adding a ejabberd user manually i get this error:

Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,kernel,{{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,net_sup,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,auth,{{error,"Error when reading /usr/loc

same here, I think ejabberd package is not compatible with this version of dsm.
meanwhile, I've tried to install Openfire, another xmpp server for dsm, but it cannot installed because of the java version(although I've installed java in my dsm but it shows the same error while installing)

@Dr-Bean is this package still being maintained? I would be willing to post a bounty if it would help.

Same here, not starting. Is there any fix?

So is there a solution. I cannot start the package ejabberd either.

Not starting for me either on Synology DSM 6.1 Update 1 on DS213j. Anyone got some workarounds maybe?

Bummer, I was so looking forward to running this for secure internal messaging.

posted a small bounty to see if we can get this running again.

This problem still exists as of February 23. I have a new Synology NAS and I tried to install ejabberd, but it won't start, even if I try to manually start it in the Package Center.

Edit: I have added to the bounty.

I had the same problem, which disappeared after rebooting the synology.

It is version 2.1.13. Released 25 Jun 2013..... Current is 18.09. I'm afraid this project is dead. Sorry, I cannot help, have not done any compiling since Algol60 in the early 1970ties.

[Heptite]

I gave up on it. I now have a Raspberry Pi that runs ejabberd, among other things. I have withdrawn my portion of the bounty on this issue.
