What is logged into nohup.out? Do you have xmpp.pep.enabled set to false?

Does the system have any useful information logged?

I had the same issue and increasing the Java memory fixed the issue for me.

Hi,

xmpp.pep.enabled was not set to false , i set it today .

Yes it is logging all the useful info.

In latest version we have to added it under /etc/sysconfig/openfire

OPENFIRE_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"

You will need to cycle openfire to make it effective.

I asked about logging becuase you didn’t post any specific error - Next time that would be helpful.

I am using the TAR package of Openfire. The file I had to modify was /opt/openfire/bin/openfire
