Starting with the linux startup script I modified it for Solaris. Note the short comments on the example installation for Solaris including a short .profile for the jive user. I grabbed the latest java 1.6.0_16-b01 and unpacked it under /opt/java (not a symlink to the jre path but a real dir with the bits under it as to avoid making changes to the bin/openfire startup script). I’m using an old SunOne directory server v5.2 for LDAP. Works ok though the group thing is a bit weird - haven’t worked out those kinks yet. BIG HINT™ if you brick your server by playing with the ldap properties and can’t log in, change the true in ./conf/openfire.xml to false and restart the server… and try again until you get your filters correct.
EDIT1: I’ve added two dns entries for the server - using the same IP: xmpp.blah.com and conference.xmpp.blah.com (both are A records to the same IP). This seemed to stop the DNS errors I was seeing in the logs. I gleaned this from a few other posts.
#!/bin/sh
openfired stops and starts the openfire XMPP service on Solaris 10
This script should be copied into /etc/init.d and linked into
your default runlevel directory.
EX: ln -s /etc/init.d/openfired /etc/rc3.d/S99openfired
Dependencies (Solaris install example):
Add a locked user/group with /bin/sh as shell: jive
jive’s home is /opt/jive
Unpack/install openfire under /opt/jive/openfire (must be a subdir of the home dir)
chown -R jive:jive /opt/jive
Set the following variables
Set this to tell this script where openfire lives
If this is not set the script will look for /opt/openfire, then /usr/local/openfire
OPENFIRE_HOME=/opt/jive/openfire
export OPENFIRE_HOME
If there is a different user you would like to run this script as,
change the following line
OPENFIRE_USER=jive
export OPENFIRE_USER
Put this in jive’s ~/.profile to point to the JVM you want to use
#INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/opt/java
#export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE
