Openfire doesnt start after Update

Openfire Openfire Support
1

I ve updatet my openfire Installation (Raspberry with Raspian) to 4.0.2…

then no login from Spark Clients were possible. After some search here i ve read that the java Version have to be 1.8.

Then I ve updatet my installation to 1.8 with this manual:

How To Install Oracle Java 8 In Debian Via Repository [JDK8] ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

After that i cant connect to the admin Interface… and Spark doesnt connect too.

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Java - version:

java version “1.8.0_77”

Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)

Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode)

There is no Openfire process in top and when i try to start openfire by hand:

sudo /etc/init.d/openfire start

this is the only that comes back:

best java alternative in: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre

Starting openfire: openfire.

but still no openfire process…

2

What is set as JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/openfire ?

3

If you wish to override the auto-detected JAVA_HOME variable, uncomment

and change the following line.

#JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default

4

You can try uncommenting it and pointing to java 8 manually. Also check lib folder in openfire directory. Are all libraries of the same modification date?

5

“You can try uncommenting it and pointing to java 8 manually.”

to which path? This:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre

??? doesnt have any effect:

/etc/init.d/openfire start

Starting openfire: openfire.

and still nothing in top.

“Also check lib folder in openfire directory. Are all libraries of the same modification date?”

/usr/share/openfire/lib

all files from 21.3 19:09

Have a look at how the /etc/init.d/openfire script starts Openfire. It probably either invokes java directly, or executes another script to start Openfire. Try doing that step ‘manually’, and see if an error pops up.

7

Which Step do you mean exactly?

Here is the script:

/etc/init.d/openfire

8

The script in /etc/init.d/openfire executes something else. Try executing that yourself, directly.

9

Sorry… i dont understand what you mean.

What excatly should i execute?

10

Look inside of the /etc/init.d/openfire script. See what it does. Somewhere, it starts Openfire trough some command. Try to execute that command, instead of executing the /etc/init.d/openfire script. You are likely to get an error. This will help to discover why the /etc/init.d/openfire script is failing.

11

ok, but which command in the script… because i dont know i ve posted the script via paste bin…

12

Run the script in verbose mode, then you see all commands and what’s executed. Either run “sh -x …” or edit the script and add as the 2nd line “set -x”

sudo -i

sh -x /etc/init.d/openfire start
