I'm not sure if you used one of the packaged plugins for this (Drupal, SMF, phpBB or WordPress, all of which need a site installation) or wrote your own.

Use the script at tests/test.php for testing:

./tests/test.php <user> <password>

This should hopefully yield a clearer message about what (if anything) is going wrong.

Note that ejabberd runs as its own user (ejabberd) so the script and all the files it accesses must also be readable by that user.
