Connection to Server drop everytime I try to connect

I’m having a problem whereby no one can connect to the server now. I’ve successfully setup openfire v4.9.1 with couple plugins as well and it was working great, I even got it working outside my LAN network so all was well, voice chat worked, video calls worked, file transfer worked, everything was setup nicely.

I probably enabled something in the server settings and forgot or probably something else but I have logs if anyone can please assist me in figuring it out. It’s not my first time setting up an openfire server but it’s been a long time since I’ve setup one.

Here are the logs Openfire logs - Pastebin.com

There are a couple of issues in that log file. I think the biggest issue is one that relates to the database. Openfire cannot connect to it.

This sometimes happens when Openfire is running more than once (eg: once started manually, and once started as a service).

Try shutting down Openfire. Next, verify that all Openfire processes have been stopped in your operating system.

If you are sure that Openfire has completely shut down, see if the file C:\Program Files\Openfire\embedded-db\openfire.lck exists. If it does, delete it.

Openfire should start up after that.

Okay will try this today. As soon as I’m through I’ll reply back. I wasn’t home but home now.

well now it started up and have writing in the box, shows all plugins loaded successfully but still no one can connect to the server.

You’re not providing enough details for me to give you any kind of helpful response, I’m afraid.

What is in Openfire’s logs? What errors do the clients display?

Tell me what all I need to provide and where to find them.

Bump, just trying to get a fix to this. Literally invested a lot of time creating this server. N this is the only problem I have now.

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

The last logs show that Openfire cannot be properly started, because it cannot bind to the network interface. It appears to be in use (by another application).

ok thanks for the reply is it not open network interface? as in a specific port? shouldnt it be possible for multiple progams to be able to bind top the network interface?
