Cannot get past step one

I’d be happy to. I appreciate the help. But there is an awfully large amount of configuration data. Which pages from the Openfire Admin Console interest you the most?

the first main admin page, and the system properties

I wonder why 5222 port is not showing up. Or is it related to LDAP again? I think Spark is using only this one. How does your http://localhost:9090/ssl-settings.jsp look like?

Also you can try go to Advanced menu on Spark login screen and try ‘use Old SSL port method’.

I have the same settings and i have 5222 port. Maybe something is using it already. Not sure how to do ‘netstat’ in linux. Check your active connections.

That allows me to connect via Spark.

I too found it strange that 5222 was not listed. That is why I asked earlier if not having 5222 listed was odd…

based on the table I included above, it looks like Openfire isn’t using 5222. Where do I turn that on? Is that the “default”?

chaim@stalingrad:~$ netstat --numeric-ports -l | grep 522.

Your openfire server is configured correctly. Are you sure there are no other services on the system that are using port 5222. The port is configured and showing in your screen shots. If it is no loading there could be a port conflict. Try clearing the openfire logs enable the debug log and restart openfire. It may show you a conflict.

Sorry, somehow i’ve passed by this comment It should be there by default. So, as i said you need to check active connections. If 5222 is there listening, so that must be something else using that port already. I think so. If it’s not there, then i’m out of thoughts so far.

AH HA!

Look who is using 5222 !!!

I “uninstalled” jabber server, but it looks like it is sticking around. Let me investigate that further.

We Have A Winner !!!

wr00t !! Set me on the correct path.

I had installed jabberd and played with it for a few minutes before deciding to uninstall it and play try openfire.

Turns out i did unistall it, but I never stopped it. It was holding on to port 5222.

After stopping Openfire, then stopping jabberd, and then restarting Openfire, all appears to be running as it should.

Thank you all for helping me troubleshoot this. Turns out my own stupidity and not checking the basics has cost me, and you time.

As is my own tradition, I will be making contributions to open source products for the help I received. wr00t and Todd, please let me know what projects you want me to donate to.

I am sure I will have more questions as I now begin to experiment with Openfire.

This reminds me my own experience 4 years ago. I have installed jabberd just for a few minutes too, and then i have tried Openfire (Jive Messenger back then) and was blown away by its noob friendly setup and configuration

No problem. We need a practice too. To be able to get to the problem core faster next time.

Hm… Well, as i regulary donate to open source projects myself, then i’ll just give you a name from my list. Let it be related to Openfire. http://kraken.blathersource.org This is the continuation of a handy IM Gateway plugin for Openfire. Daniel has put a lot of his personal time into this project (he has even worked for Jive for some time). You can find a donate link at its sf.net project page (you have to be logged in at sf.net, just in case)

Good luck with Openfire
