What did not work as expected? Are there error messages in the log? What
was the unexpected behavior? What was the expected result?

My logs:

 ejabberd initialization was aborted because a module start failed.

The same issue can be reproduced on 16.12 release. May be it is not related to ldap_vcard modules, because of mod_configure2 fails with the same "error: undef".

@p5n seems like you're right. This is a side effect, but not the main reason of failure.
You better post your config so we can check if everything is ok with it.

Ah, indeed. The configuration should now look like:

mod_vcard:
  db_type: ldap
  ...

I will add some convertion code so old-style mod_vcard_ldap will be converted to mod_vcard: [{db_type, ldap}] automatically.

[Neustradamus]

Can you update the doc for this?

• https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration#mod-vcard
• https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration#mod-vcard-ldap

mod_vcard:
  db_type: ldap
  ...

[warning] <0.65.0>@ejabberd_config:emit_deprecation_warning:1365 Module mod_vcard_ldap is deprecated, use mod_vcard with 'db_type: ldap' instead

Linked to #2665.
