ejabberd virtual host setup issue

Question

I'm trying to setup the virtual host in ejabberd, however regardless of what I try it either gives me the following error

/usr/local/etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg: 
line 187: host_config:: command not found /usr/local/etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg: 
line 188: test.lan: command not found /usr/local/etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg: 
line 189: auth_method:: command not found Failed RPC connection to the node ejabberd@localhost: nodedown

or nothing at all (doesn't add virtual host to list on virtuals hosts page of admin)

I compiled the sourcefrom github on centos 7

I'v followed the ejabberd config guide, I've even counted spaces to just check, I don't know how to proceed from here so any help would be appreciated

the following is the content of my ejabberd.yml, I would attach it as a file but there doesn't appear be to any way to do so

  - "test.lan"

/usr/local/etc/ejabberd/ejabberdctl.cfg: line 187: host_config:: command not found

Umm, please be aware that ejabberd.yml configures ejabberd using YAML format. And ejabberdctl.cfg is a different config file for Erlang things in shell format.

host_config is an option for ejabberd.yml, so I don't understand why it's mentioned in ejabberdctl.cfg. Maybe you have tried so many things, that you have mixed those two files.

Idea:

delete all those config files,
install from scratch so you get new config files
start ejabberd, to make sure it starts correctly, at least with default config files
stop ejabberd
modify one option in ejabberd.yml
start ejabberd, check it starts correctly, and that your changes are applied correctly

I'm trying to setup the virtual host in ejabberd,

If you want to add a new virtual host to ejabberd (like "example.org"), simply add it like this:

hosts:
  - "test.lan"
  - "example.org"

Once you get it working, you can simply delete the lines of other hosts that you will not use.

I tried this and it's still ignoring the domains – James Pollard Feb 10 '19 at 04:58 — James Pollard, Feb 10 '19 at 04:58
