I’d installed Openfire 4.0.3 into a new CenOS 7, and now I am having problems with lost of configuration after rebooting OS. Clients can’t connect and administrators can’t sign in to Openfire admin area. Everytime when I need to reboot my CentOS, I need to edit /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml and change setup = true, to reconfigure all again. I had lucky that I’m using external database (MySQL) to store data, thus avoiding further losses. Someone could help me to identify the problem? I attached my logs. Thank you.

Did you install Openfire with the RPM provided by this website?
Are you running openfire via the sysvinit (systemd) script? systemctl start openfire
rpm -Va openfire output would be useful as well.
Yes, I did. I running openfire via the ntsysv, automaticaly.
This ‘rpm -Va openfire’ results in:
rpm -Va openfire
S.5…T. c /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
S.5…T. c /opt/openfire/conf/security.xml
S.5…T. c /opt/openfire/resources/security/keystore
S.5…T. c /opt/openfire/resources/security/truststore
This mean it is all right?!

Try to ‘ls -l /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml && chmod 777 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml’ before starting openfire. Set the permissions back to something save after the initial configuration.
‘cat /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml’ to make sure that it contains your setup data.
Thank you for the tips but it didn’t work. My steps were:
cat /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
here I copied the 1st result for after compare
ls -l /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
-rw-r–r-- 1 daemon daemon 2432 Set 2 15:56 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
chmod 777 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
ls -l /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 daemon daemon 2432 Ago 22 14:28 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
service openfire restart
here I detected that Openfire lost the config again
vim /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
I changed true to false
service openfire restart
now I made sure that all is all right after reconfiguring Openfire through web browser
chmod 644 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
ls -l /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
-rw-r–r-- 1 daemon daemon 2432 Set 2 15:45 /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
cat /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
here I copied the 2nd result for the comparison; conclusion: no changes
service openfire restart
again openfire lost config
The openfire.xml should have changed?
Yes it should change. If I got it right the only change you see is false to true which is odd.
