For the last couple of hours I have been trying setting ejabberd server up. I built ejabberd from source becuase the package in ubuntu repository has a bug. Anyway after building ejabberd from the source, I added my FQDN "s1.noureldin.local" to my /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml file.
.
.
## - "example.org"
##
hosts:
- "localhost"
- "s1.noureldin.local"
##
## route_subdomains: Delegate subdomains to other XMPP servers.
.
.
and then I created a new user:
ejabberdctl register admin1 s1.noureldin.local P@s5W0rd
then I tried to connect to my xmpp server and it worked!
Now the PROBLEM comes when I try to give that new user administrator permissions, ejabberd cannot be started any more, and I always get syntax error in the log:

Here is my ejabberd.yml, you can see all the syntaxes I tried but with no success:
.
.
.
max_fsm_queue: 1000
###. ====================
###' ACCESS CONTROL LISTS
acl:
##
## The 'admin' ACL grants administrative privileges to XMPP accounts.
## You can put here as many accounts as you want.
##
admin:
user:
- "[email protected]"
######## I TRIED THESE AS WELL ########
## - "admin1":"s1.noureldin.local"
## - "[email protected]"
##
## user: - "[email protected]"
## - user: "[email protected]"
## Blocked users
##
## blocked:
## user:
## - "[email protected]"
## - "test"
## Local users: don't modify this.
##
local:
user_regexp: ""
##
## More examples of ACLs
##
## jabberorg:
.
.
.
And when I recomment these lines out, it works again:
admin:
user:
- "[email protected]"
Could someone help me to solve that please? I searched online and in ejabberd doc, all peoples used the same syntax I used but that worked with them.
Thank you in advance.
OK I found the error. ejabberd.yml file is white spaces sensetive!
and every sub config MUST have TWO white spaces more that its parent, so my config will become:
Or more clearly:
