[erlang-questions] crash dump at ejabberd startup

[tom@REDACTED]

Just an additional thought:

is it sure the error message above means the connection between erlang and 
localhost:4369 ?

I also built and configured ejabberd to use MySQL and may be the connection 
between erlangs mysql driver and mysql could be meant ? MySQL however is 
happily running and already in use by Postfix and Dovecot in the same jail 
...

kind regards
