No Admin-Console, only Setup Process after Rebooting the whole server!?

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi there,

I got a working Openfire 3.3.1 installation running on my linux machine.

Today i had to restart the whole Server (Not only the Openfire process or the Apache module).

The reboot worked out well.

Openfire starts up normally and i can log in via Spark - all contacts and the whole chatting procedure is still available. But if i try to log into my Admin-console via the normal way https://my-server.com:9091/ i do not get the log in panel - i get the setup-routine like i installed openfire the first time.

Help! What can i do to stick back to my normal Admin-Console?

Trying to go through the Setup will not work because after step 3 (database-choice) nothing happened…

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

If your running a *nix os, especially redhat or Fedora Core, if you ran the ./redhat-postinstall.sh file you’'ll need to make sure that the config xml file is owned by jive, not by root.

Otherwise the jive user can’'t read a file owned by root.

If that’'s not the case, open up the config file and make sure is down near the end of the file

I am running Suse Linux.

Below i attach my openfire.xml which is based under the conf directory.

is at the bottom of the file.

Unordinary it is a openfire installation but in this file the serverurl ends up with wildfire ??

Any idea?

Tanks.

No, there are no errors in the log file.

But i saw more than 10 threads running “…openfire/lib/sartup.jar” - i killed them all. Fired up openfire again and -tada- all proceed as normal.

Server running. Admin console is reachable on no errors occured.

I am glad this is worked out. Thanks all for your help.
