Im trying to configure my Ejabberd to run on Ubuntu. I have managed to successfully install the Ejabberd without any problems. When I try to start my server using
ejabberdctl sid#domU-12-31-39-01-7C-F5.compute-1.internal start
I get the following error
RPC failed on the node 'ejabberd#domU-12-31-39-01-7C-F5': nodedown
Im using Ejabberd 2.0.5 and I had a few installation issues earlier where I encountered a 'Post installation script error'. However after uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times I managed to get around it. I've used the installer to do my setup. I'd appreciate any help on how to solve this issue.
My log file shows the following:

You will get that error if you dont 'sudo' . Use 'sudo ejabberdctl ...'
