I didn’t do this on a live server, i test everything first. I just took over being the admin of a openfire server with 2000 users and 100+ group chat rooms. I did an upgrade from 3.9.1 to 4.4.1 and now all the group chats are missing from the web interface. The are in the DB.
So far it’s the only issue i’ve noticed but this is a game stopper for this if I can’t fix it.
I did try doing the upgrade paths from 3.9.1 but alot of the versions crashed with java heap errors but 4.4.1 seems stable. Likely the built in x64 java.
This I tried but I get nothing but Java Heap crashes for anything before the embedded X64 Java versions. I am moving from Linux 3.9.1 to WIndows Server 2012 4.4.1
So we need to debug more what is happening with the first item you list. What is your backend database and are you able to look at its logs to see if openfire is generating some issue?
Depends on how much data you want to save during the transition. The upgrade path should work though, we just need to find the logs showing what error you are hitting. If you want, you can email me your logs/ folder contents and I can review it. akrherz@iastate.edu
Soo Interesting turn of events. I got the server upto 4.4.2 and the chatrooms stayed around. It wasn’t until I restored the ofmuconversationlog table did they all go missing again.
So if I add a new room, restart the server. The rooms go missing from the web interface BUT are all in the DB still. So something odd is going on.
xmpp.muc.unload.empty_days 999 doesn’t help either.
