Jive DB connection broke out of nowhere!

Hello all,

I have Jive installed using a My SQL DB. I logged into the interface, created 4 users, one group and changed the hostname to anothername. I then restart the Jive service, and now all of a sudden I hit the web interface on 9090 and I get the install page? Since (at the time) I did not put too much time into I, I assume that changing the hostname maybe broke somthing, but now I can install it?

I tried to create another database and manually edit the “jive-messenger.xml” manually but to no avail. I have uninstalled and re-installed the rpm package but I get “A connection to the database could not be made. View the error message by opening the “/logs/error.log” log file, then go back to fix the problem.” and the same or similar error while trying to use a Mysql database connection.

tail 15 /opt/jive_messenger/logs/error.log

tail: cannot open `15’’ for reading: No such file or directory

==> /opt/jive_messenger/logs/error.log <==

Hi admstng,

but now, nothing is writing to the logs directory?

nothing is in there?

Are the permission on the directory correct?

Thanks,

Ryan
