Hi,
I followed the SSL guide and used the self-signing certificate method. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (non-server) for the server. I changed the hostname in /etc/hostname from spark to spark.arise.com and rebooted. The server was still working fine. I then started the process of step 2 from here (http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/ssl-guid e.html). After that was done, I started configuring openfire (bottom page) and imported the following:
- xmpp.socket.ssl.port – the port to use for SSL (default is 5223 for XMPP)
- xmpp.socket.ssl.storeType – the store type used (“JKS” is the Sun Java Keystore format used by the JDK keytool). If this property is not defined, Openfire will assume a value of “jks”.
- xmpp.socket.ssl.keystore – the location of the keystore file relative to your Openfire installation root directory. You can leave this property blank to use the default keystore.
- xmpp.socket.ssl.keypass – the keystore/key password you changed in step 2.
I left storetype and keystore blank. I added keypass with the password that i created. I then tried to restart openfire by doing: sudo /etc/init.d/openfire restart and never came back up. I then did a stop and start and didnt work. After that, I just rebooted the server hoping it would start up like normal. I wasn’t able to connect, so i went to the web admin page and it was back to the setup page. i thought aww crap, i gotta redo it again, so i did. And it said all was good, and it should be running. I re-opened the site and went back to the setup page, now when i go to choose the database section i get the following error after choosing Embedded database (same as before):
The Openfire database schema does not appear to be installed. Follow the installation guide to fix this error.
Please help!
Thanks.
