In doing some research on the InterWebs, I found this post:

I recently moved my Openfire 3.7.1 server to Lion (os x) from windows xp. Everything seems to be ok except when I try to start the service from the system preferences. I click start service and it won’t start. keeps coming up stopped. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’ve searched and came up with nothing.
Other than this post, I’ve not been able to find any trace of this issue - but I know I’m not the only one, so - HELP!
This is a fresh install of both 10.7 and 3.7.1. Other services (afp, netboot) are working fine, so it’s not DNS related.
Console says:

Hmmm - “Already loaded”?!?!? Perhaps, but I can’t log in to the admin cosole.

Over, and over, and over - ad infinitum…
I realize 10.7 Server is a wonky framework to begin with, but that’s what we’re using (or not).

Please advise…
