Problem with localhost:9090 after update to openfire 4.9.2

Openfire

Hello, I tried to find a solution here but couldn’t and that’s why I decided to ask. After updating openfire installed on windows machine from 4.7 to 4.9.2 I lost connection to admin console localhost:9090. Users are connecting, but I’ve lost control of the server. Please help me where to find the problem

Hi! In recent versions of Openfire, the admin console is only accessible from the local server by default. This is a security mechanism.

You can try accessing the admin from the local server.

The behavior can be changed through configuration, as documented here: Openfire: Installation Guide

I’m trying to log in locally on the server, but it’s not loading in my browser. I’ll also check the manual.

Oh, that’s annoying. Have you tried looking in the Openfire log files? When there are any issues with loading the admin console, then this is typically logged either at standard-out when the server is starting up, or at the first few lines of the openfire.log file.

When you are trying to log in locally, are you trying with 127.0.0.1 or localhost?
I believe you need to use localhost for it to work.
And you may also try this: [Guide] How to unlock the Openfire admin console
for when sshing into the machine.

Thanks guys! I also tried this with putty, but again no success. For now I have rolled back to 4.7.5 and have no problem accessing. When I have some time left I will do a VM install and see how to update to the latest version.
