Developer: Reset ejabberd database

Something goes mad? You have very weird error about entity connection, subscription or whatever? You have tried everything but you can't fix your problem? The badass solution is to drop the ejabberd database. It is relatively safe operation as all your Archipel configuration will be kept. It will fix most of problems related to ejabberd.

It is mandatory to do this when you change the host part of ejabberd.cfg

What you will loose

You will loose:

• All users rosters: you need to remove and add again your hypervisors and virtual machines as contacts.
• All shared roster groups if any.
• All human users account
• All user's Archipel GUI specific configuration

Reseting the ejabberd database

Note that this only works when using mnesia backend for ejabberd (the default)

/etc/init.d/archipel stop
ejabberdctl stop
rm -rf /var/lib/ejabberd/*
rm -rf /opt/ejabberd-X.X.X/var/lib/ejabberd/*
rm -rf /opt/ejabberd-X.X.X/database/ejabberd@localhost/*
ejabberdctl start
ejabberdctl register admin FQDN password
ejabberdctl register userA FQDN password
...
ejabberdctl register userN FQDN password
/etc/init.d/archipel start

DO NOT RECREATE ANY XMPP ACCOUNTS FOR HYPERVISORS OR VIRTUAL MACHINES
