Configure ejabberd with Mysql , Error p1_mysql.app not found

Question

I am trying to configure ejabberd with mysql database. After changes into the yml file i got this error while starting node.

2017-01-09 13:07:27.386 [critical] <0.38.0>@ejabberd:exit_or_halt:133 failed to start application 'p1_mysql': {error,
                                         {"no such file or directory",
                                          "p1_mysql.app"}}

Searching for solutions encountered with a step to hit './configure'

But i cannot locate the directory.

Tried it in /var/lib/ejabberd as well. says "not found"

Installed on Ubuntu using apt-get install ejabberd

How do i hit configure to do the needful.

If you're building from source, you should enable mysql support via configure script, e.g.

$ ./autogen.sh # Only needed if building directly from github repo
$ ./configure --enable-mysql
$ make
