Segmentation Fault - Ubuntu 16 install

[Howard Canning]

Hi,
Trying to install OpenSRF 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS but getting the error:
/usr/sbin/ejabberdctl: line 428: 1769 Segmentation fault $EXEC_CMD "$CMD"

...when I run:

ejabberdctl register router private.localhost opensrf

... as per install instruction at http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/OpenSRF/README_3_2_1.html

Please advise.

Thanks

Try it as follows:

sudo -u ejabberd ejabberdctl register router private.localhost "passord"

and so on.

Sometimes it works as the root user, sometimes you have to sudo as the ejabberd user. It's a "bug" in apparmor profiles.

Also, doing "apt update ; apt -y upgrade" sometimes helps.

FYI: I pretty much always use sudo to run the commands that the instructions say to run as the root user.

Nice. That worked. Thanks!
