Yes, similar problems yesterday, using stable 3.9.3 Openfire and 1.3.1 JVB. Could not get anything to work.
Not sure what server you are using, but on debian 7 (should be same with ubuntu) I got it working with Nightly 3.10 Openfire: Project summary - Atlassian Bamboo and the plugin from there too.
You must “apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jre” rather than the openjdk-6 default Java package first. I much prefer the reduced bloat of “openjdk-6/7-jre-headless” package and it worked for 3.9.3 but will not on Nightly.
Some problems were to do with /etc/hosts - you have to have a line with your main IP address and a host name (“12.34.56.78 hostname.example.lan hostname”), rather than use localhost I believe. I can then access without using host name and just the ip address.
So basically, once debian 7 is installed:
apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jre
wget -O openfire.deb http://bamboo.igniterealtime.org/browse/OPENFIRE-NIGHTLYDEB/latestSuccessful/art ifact/shared/Project-Debian-distribution-files/openfire_3.10.0_all.deb
dpkg --install openfire.deb
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9090 and set up
cd /var/lib/openfire/plugins
wget http://bamboo.igniterealtime.org/browse/OPENFIRE-NIGHTLYPLUGINS/latestSuccessful /artifact/shared/Project-Plugins/jitsivideobridge.jar
/etc/init.d/openfire restart
Create Room, Users - Leave room permissions open
https://xx.xx.xx.xx:7443/jitsi/apps/ofmeet
Make sure 7443 at least is open on firewall. I had no joy changing to standard 443 on the control panel for http-bind settings - just errors.
But you can put an “index.html” file in /usr/share/openfire/resources/spank/ to give a sshort “sane” URL redirected say straight to ofmeet… See the forum.
It seems to be working fine. With a specified 360 video resolution there is however an offset in the browser video display.
This is a great improvement for office purposes on the open public Jitsi. Dela has put a lot of work in which I really appreciate. You can put a user/password entry gate for example. But if you want a simple public option there is also an easy debian install on the Jitsi Meet website - it only works on Ubuntu 14.04.1 though, not debian (libc or something is too out of date).
