[JDEV] problem configuring jabber with conference

Hi All,
I have added conference to jabber, and made appended jabber.xml file to
accomadate this change. Once I had done this, I could not load Jabber
anymore.  I get the error  "Configuaration parsing using jabber.xml".

Any ideas on how I could check the XML file to see if I had made any
mistake?..or what I am doing wrong?.

Here is my Jabber.xml.

  <!--
  This is the Jabber server configuration file. The file is
  broken into different sections based on the services being
  managed by jabberd, the server daemon. Most of the important
  sections have comments and are easy to modify. You can find
  full instructions in the server howto, which is available at
  http://docs.jabber.org/. Note that when you see a tag like
  "jabberd:cmdline", it's automatically replaced on startup
  with the command line flag passed in to jabberd. This enables
  you to override parameters set in this configuration file if
  necessary or desired. Also note as you comment things in and
  out that jabberd does not like comments within comments, so
  be careful with your XML. :)

      messages (any message to="yourhostname" is an admin
      message).  These addresses must be local ids, they cannot
      be remote addresses.

      Note that they can also send announcements to all
      users of the server, or to all online users. To use
      the announcement feature, you need to send raw xml and be
      logged in as one of the admin users. Here is the syntax
      for sending an announcement to online users:

        <message to="hari.pillai.com/announce/online">

that are logged in and
additionally to new ones as they log in</body>
        </message>

      Sending to /announce/motd/delete will remove any existing
      motd, and to /announce/motd/update will only update the motd
      without re-announcing to all logged in users.

      The <reply> will be the message that is automatically
      sent in response to any admin messages.

    <!-- definition of terms:

      * Avg. Throughput - The number of bytes you can
        send every second without incuring any penalty.

      * Burst Allowed - The maximum number of bytes you
        can send in 2 seconds without incurring any penalty.

      * Max Sustained Rate - If you send data as fast as
        you can, you will hit penalty, and will not be
        able to send for 10 seconds; the max sustained
        rate is the average rate you can dump data when
        you are dumping as much data as you can, as fast
        as you can.

      * Seconds to Recover from Burst - The amount of time
        it will take to reach Avg. Throughput capability
        after sending a max burst of data.

      * Penalty Length - The length of your penalty is
        determined according to this formula:
              abs(penalty) * Heartbeat seconds
        E.g., a penalty of -5 and heartbeat of 2 will
        cause your penalty length to be 10 seconds.
        Note that a penalty CANNOT be less than -100,
        otherwise strange things might happen.

    then *all* IPs will be allowed to connect. If
    you allow one block, then only that block may
    connect. Note that <allow/> is checked before
    <deny/>, so if a specific address is allowed
    but the network for that address is denied,
    then that address will still be denied.
