In openfire 3.3.1 installation, no jars, instead .jar.pack?

Hi,

I unpacked openfire_3_3_1.tar.gz and tried to run “openfire start”. The application couldn’‘t start because it can’'t find some of it jars in lib subdirectory. It looks like those jars are .jar.pack files instead. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Hi,

did you unpack the tar.gz file as root and did try to run it as a normal user? It looks like this, Openfire will extract the pack files if it can do this.
