how to push ejabberd to heroku

Question

I have cloned it into dir ejabberd. Ran the following commands.

./autogen.sh
./configure 
make rel

made a Procfile

web: ./rel/ejabberd/bin/ejabberdctl start

with the following line it.

heroku create -buildpack https :// github .com/archaelus/heroku-buildpack-erlang.git

then did git push heroku master

its gives me the following error

root@Anubhav:/home/anubhav/new/ejabberd# git push heroku master

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I do not think ejabberd can be used as is on Heroku. There is several dependancies in C and lib required that are probably not available on Heroku. At least it has never been tested but I would be surprised if it worked.
