调用ejabberd的create_room REST API返回成功但房间未创建

问题现象 #

调用ejabberd官方文档的/create_room接口后返回状态码0（文档说明为成功），但在Pidgin客户端和ejabberd管理界面都看不到新创建的房间；调用destroy_room接口删除该房间时，系统提示Room not available。

API调用参数 #

调用/create_room时发送的数据：

{
  "name": "room1",
  "service": "conference.localhost",
  "host": "localhost"
}

解决方法 #

1. 创建持久化房间：默认创建的是临时房间，无用户加入时会自动销毁。调用/create_room时添加"persistent": true参数，确保房间持久存在：

{
  "name": "room1",
  "service": "conference.localhost",
  "host": "localhost",
  "persistent": true
}

2. 验证权限匹配：确认调用API的用户属于local域（如admin@localhost），你的配置中muc_create权限仅允许local用户创建房间。
3. 检查完整房间JID：在客户端搜索时需使用完整JID room1@conference.localhost，而非仅房间名room1。
4. 查看日志排查细节：检查ejabberd日志文件，查看创建房间过程中是否有未捕获的错误或权限提示。
5. 确认mod_muc配置：你的mod_muc配置中access_persistent绑定了muc_create，确保创建持久化房间时权限足够。
