This is very frustrating with 3.7. While web console is running fine and the logs are all empty, I tried connecting with an Exodus client and it just keeps trying to connect, no error no nothing… Then I tried telnetting from the machine that is running openfire itself to 127.0.0.1 5222 and sending in the simplified stream example from http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html and there’s no response whatsoever. I know it’s listening to that port at least because telnet opens the connection, but no reply no matter what I type in.
Previously I was using Openfire 3.6.4 on OpenSUSE 11.1 and it was working OK, save for having to regenerate the certifictes every time I restarted the server. I was using the internal database at the time. I had at the time installed it from the .tar.gz
A couple of days ago I upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4 and figured I’d upgrade Openfire to 3.7. I tried installing from the RPM but couldn’t connect, so I uninstalled, then deleted any leftover openfire directory, and installed from the .tar.gz. This time I used external MySQL. The dB connection seems fine, no errors or anything. I didn’t import the users, just started all from fresh basically.
So what’s going on here? Why is this not working?
