it always appear install again

Maybe your conf directory or the file in it are write protected? Attend that the bin/extra/openfired script does switch to user “jive”, even if you start it as root. You should also check logfile in logs directory.

then im searching about on how to increase the java memory

Open bin/openfire and set

INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS="-Xms256m -Xmx256m"

This sets the memory to 256 MB, don’t forget to remove the # before the line.

cheesewizz,

If you are on Centos, you should edit your /etc/sysconfig/openfire file and set something like this:

OPENFIRE_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"

Editing the scripts in bin/ will cause trouble once you do an RPM upgrade.

Dear cheesewizz,

I found the same problem as you. However, I fixed it by go to edit script directly cause I start openfire with manual command

/opt/openfire/bin/openfire.sh ==> vi it and goto line

OPENFIRE_OPTS="$ -DopenfireHome=$" then change to… OPENFIRE_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -DopenfireHome=$"

that help me…

If you are using windows,

in the bin folder under your openfire directory, you need to create/edit 1 of

two files.

If running via the GUI console, create/edit the file
‘‘openfired.vmoptions’’.
In this file, add the following
lines…
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
If you are running as a service,
copy the file to another file named, ‘‘openfire-service.vmoptions’’.
Hope
this helps.

Hello!!!

It worked!

How do I run openfire 3.5.0 as a system service?

Adisorn_Sirisomboon · April 11, 2008, 3:42am

you can find it in http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/3.5.0_rc1/documentation/insta ll-guide.html

Running Openfire in Windows

If you used the Openfire installer, a shortcut for starting the a graphical launcher is provided in your Start Menu. Otherwise, run openfire.exe in the bin/ directory of your Openfire installation. A button on the on the launcher allows you to automatically open your web browser to the correct URL to finish setting up the server:

Windows Service

If you’re running Openfire on Windows, you will likely want to run Openfire as a standard Windows service after initial setup. If you used the Windows installer, a openfire-service.exe file will be in the bin directory of the installation. You can use this executable to install and control the Openfire service.

From a console window, you can run the following commands:

openfire-service /install – installs the service.
openfire-service /uninstall – uninstalls the service.
openfire-service /start – starts the service
openfire-service /stop – stops the service.
