thank you for your reply. I still don't know what to try next. Please see

Ok. I will ignore OpenSRF (problems) for the moment.

Ok. Ignoring.

Do I understand correctly that the values I have chosen should not cause
any trouble (my server's hostname is actually "green"). If not, should I
run the evergreen database creation script again with the values you
recommend?

I have already resolved the problem with ejabberd if that is what you refer
to as that problem. Or do you think that I should change the hostname again?

I want to set up a fully functional Evergreen server for staff and web
access so I have chosen AWS as the simplest option. I can try an
installation on a Virtualbox VM but I don't think that it would help.
