New Open Fire Install Cannot Connect on Port 5222 On Debian Box

Openfire Openfire Support

Hello All,

I just installed OpenFire yesterday using this simple Tutorial

“http://www.classhelper.org/articles/debian-openfire-chat-server/openfire-server- install-p1.shtml”

The install was fairly simple and I did get the server working and was able to connect to users on a local net using Pidgin and port 5223.

However, I noticed that I was not able to connect using port 5222 when SSL and TLS were both turned off on the server. Matter of fact I have not been able to connect at all using 5222. Using Wireshark on the server it looked like there was some type of stream error. I am not a programmer so trying to decipher the log files have been very difficult. Viewing most other forums on the initial admin webpage 5222 is available. By default the server ports listed as available on the initial admin logon web page for me are:

All addresses
5223

Client to Server
The port used for clients to connect to the server using the old SSL method. The old SSL method is not an XMPP standard method and will be deprecated in the future. You can update the security settings for this port.
All addresses
9090

Admin Console
The port used for unsecured Admin Console access.
All addresses
7070

HTTP Binding
The port used for unsecured HTTP client connections.
All addresses
7443

HTTP Binding
The port used for secured HTTP client connections.
All addresses
3478 & 3479

STUN Service
The port used for the service that ensures connectivity between entities when behind a NAT.
All addresses
5229

Flash Cross Domain
Service that allows Flash clients connect to other hostnames and ports.

So why is port 5222 not available for me.

On the server I ran: netstat -nap | grep 5222

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

So it looks like that port is listing and I do get a stream error on the server on that port using wireshark…very odd?

Maybe someone else has seen this problem or has a logical next step idea.

Thanks,

Dan

One more thing I found odd was I ran

netstat -anp | grep 5223

tcp6 0 0 :::5223 :::* LISTEN 25814/java
tcp6 0 0 10.0.64.30:5223 10.0.64.254:62043 ESTABLISHED 25814/java

then,

netstat -anp | grep 5222

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9312/beam

So to me it seems like maybe the port is not configured properly or something.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi !

My “netstat” is the same and everythings works really well.

Have you tried a good/usable client so?? I am successful

with Psi and Gajim.

If you cannot connect out of the box, configure the clients

to explicit use the ip-address of the server.

In my network [debian], I use DNSMASQ and have specified

a SRV record for xmpp. The client usually makes a DNS request

to the domain to obtain that record, which must point to the

xmpp server name [which, in turn should also be in DNS].

I fumbled with this in the beginning;Psi does it wrong, but Gajim makes

it right [no direct setting of the servers ip-address necessary].

To make matters worse, it looks like some of the programming libraries

seems to have bugs in this. Even the most docs are speaking about a connection

to the server, which lead to people configuring host-names;But domain is - so

far I finally understand all right - the right thing.

Hope, this helps.
