from group chat:
guest203: I have a problem with openfire:
akrherz: ok
guest203: I can’t login to the admin panel
but I can still chat with spark
akrherz: did you recently upgrade?
guest203: no fresh install
akrherz: edit your openfire.conf file and set setup to false
restart openfire, which you can then reconfigure it and update your admin password
guest203: where is that in the macosx version?
akrherz: wherever openfire is installed and then the conf/ folder
4:34 PM
guest203: the mac osx version uses a system prefrences pane, I tried searching for openfire on my hard drive, but can only find a the pref pane and a file called org.jivesoftware.openfire.plist
akrherz: not sure
guest203: that org.jivesoftware.openfire.plist file is in the folder for startup items, so that’s not it
4:39 PM
guest203: found a file called openfire in the pref pane file. it has a bunch of options, but not a setup one. The system was already set up, and I was modifying the chat gateway settings
akrherz: I thought it was located in /usr/local/openfire or maybe /opt/openfire
guest203: just found that usr/local/openfire had restricted permissions, tring to crack it now…

guest203: in the conf folder, the’res a file called openfire.xml with a bunch of options - looking at it now

saved
retrying setup

akrherz: did you restart openfire?

will I loose everything from my previous setup?
akrherz: not everything

guest203: finished setup, but can’t get to login screen, redirects to setup
in openfire.xml, setup was still false
akrherz: permissions issue
user running openfire can’t write the config file
guest203: setup is true, restarted openfire, but it still goes to setup…
set the owner back to openfire, login screen comes up
