It looks like the DB lock file is present when it shouldn’t be. Try deleting C:\Openfire\embedded-db\openfire.lck

Already replied on another thread. You run the launcher when it already runs as a service, that’s the cause of this lock.

Thanks guys - I made sure the services were stopped and reinstalled. All seems to be working. I stopped the service and launched via the gui the following info kicked at start. Is this just informational - do you think its something to be concerned with before going live.

Yes, these are just informational messages and should be gone in the next version. https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/OF-1524
