Also its a good practice to edit /etc/default/ejabberd and inside add
SMP=enable
this enables support for SMP kernels most linux kernels nowdays are SMP

One other Jabber helpful command is the cmd to check all logged in usernames on ejabberd:
This is done with ejabberdctl
ejabberdctl connected-users

Lenny is outdated, no more support of any kind (bugs, security). You should use Wheezy, the current Debian stable. Moreover the softwares offered by Lenny are really outdated too.

Hi Carl,
At time of writting the article I was still using Lenny. Now I guess the tutorial to install should be similar even when using newer versions.
Regards,
Georgi

Actually lately I prefer Gajim much more, because Pidgin is too much interactive for my console soul 🙂

If your jabber init script /etc/init.d/ejabberd start is failing to launch ejabberd, once all is configured as explained in the article, you’ll have to check your firewall rules, you will need to have allowed for connection as a minimum following rules add them to your firewall init script and then try again. Another thing to check whether it is the firewall causing ejabberd to malfunction, just stop the firewall for a short time and relaunch ejabberd:
