More Testing with ejabberd

Previously...

• I created comments for the megaphone_sender module.
• I fixed some stuff and ran out of excuses not to start testing with ejabberd.
• I tried running ejabberd with megaphone: things did not go well.

Rooting around with ejabberd.cfg I found the part where it was starting up megaphone:

  {mod_version,  []},

  {mod_megaphone, []}

 ]}.

When you define a module this way, ejabberd invokes it at startup simply by calling 

<module name>:start(Host, Options)

Looking at the source for that part I found the start code:

start(_Host, _Opt) ->

    megaphone:start().

stop(_Host) -> ok.

As it turns out, megaphone does not have a start function that takes no arguments, hence the (current) problem.  I removed mod_megaphone from the ejabberd.cfg file and ejabberd was able to start up again.

One down, must more fun to go.
