Openfire not responding configurations missing

Jan_Gestre · July 10, 2007, 2:37am

We been using openfire for almost 2 weeks now without any issues but suddenly the server was not responding, no users can logon. It is installed on cPanel server, the only change I made with the server was I’'m trying to install tomcat to work with Cpanel. So I restarted openfire from commandline and try to browse the admin url http://domainname:9090 but it started with a wizard, all my previous configurations are gone and when I get to the profile settings I received this error:

HTTP ERROR: 500

INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

RequestURI=/setup/setup-profile-settings.jsp

I’‘ve noticed that before it is used to be jive… but now it’'s jetty, did the tomcat install messed up openfire? Is there a way to fix this?

TIA

I’'ve got the same message during migration to other server:

I’'ve backuped complete mysql, restored on new server, installed openfire, copied whole /opt/openfire/conf dir, copied /opt/openfire/resources/security dir and after starting of openfire got install wizard ending up with:
