Obviously you have syntax errors in two lines and parser is saying the exact line numbers.

I grabbed it from here http://www.process-one.net/docs/ejabberd/guide_en.html#htoc68

Please read something about YAML.

This response isn't useful The issue ihere is that ldap_vcard_map has triple entries in the configuration that the user noted above:
{modules,
..,
{mod_vcard_ldap,
[
{ldap_vcard_map,
[{"NICKNAME", "%u", []}, % just use user's part of JID as his nickname
{"FIRST", "%s", ["givenName"]},
{"LAST", "%s", ["sn"]},

I havn't found a good way to represent ... nor any single example that translates that to YAML
mod_vcard_map:
ldap_vcard_map:
"FIRST": "%s"
- givenName

Fails all day. It's the only module that was NOT re-represented in the documentation as YAML .. please fix.

[cromain]

we'll check the documentation for this particular case

[cromain]

recent commit 87d2eb by badlop will help for this this case. it allows to write erlang expressions as part of the YAML file. example:
ldap_vcard_map:
"NICKNAME": "> {"%u", []}."
this is to be tested against ldap module, i did not checked yet.

[zinid]

@cromain there is no needs for such hacks, mod_vcard_ldap supports native yaml configuration, it's just not documented.

[sandinak]

zinid: I don't see that in the code... can you give an example?

[badlop]

Guide updated so mod_vcard_ldap config examples use YAML format.

[HoneyShyam]

Is that working anyway.
I have update the database from mnesia to mysql,

##
## MySQL server:
##
-
    sql_type: mysql
    sql_server: "localhost"
    sql_database: "mydb"
    sql_username: "root"
    sql_password: "mypassword"
##

Now I am geting the
Syntax error on line 333 at position 1: did not find expected key
Any help appreciated.

The error message you get is the same that on this ticket, but many months have passed, so the source of the problem may be different. Please open a new ticket with your setup, your config, and mention that this ticket may be related.

@HoneyShyam
Just remove space from starting of sql parameters,add like below

##
## MySQL server:
##

sql_type: mysql
sql_server: "localhost"
sql_database: "mydb"
sql_username: "root"
sql_password: "mypassword"
##
