Confirm the same issue. I installed v4.3.0 on my working 4.2.3 (debian jessie) installation. Openfire 4.3 would not start. I tried to start from a command line “/etc/init.d/openfire start” and nothing happens. Nothing new shows up in the /var/log/openfire/all.log (last entry shows where the server was shutdown for the installation). I removed v4.3.0 and reinstalled 4.2.3, and it would not start. I was using java 7. I added jessie-backports and installed openjdk-8-jdk and ran “update-alternatives --config java” to select java 8. At this point I could get v4.2.3 to run again.
