The error message makes it sound like there might be a configuration
error in your ejabberd.cfg file in the 'hosts' clause. Could you copy
and paste that section of your ejabberd.cfg file into a reply? Are you
able to stop and start ejabberd?

I should also note that there's not much reason to install OpenSRF 1.2.3
anymore, unless you're just upgrading an existing system. OpenSRF 1.6.x
is even the recommended version for Evergreen 1.6 now (I'm about to
update the downloads page accordingly).
