How to I get 3.3 installation scrubbed off (redhat linux) so that I can get a fresh install going again?
rpm -e openfire should remove your openfire. What kind of error did you get when running that command? What do you get when you run rpm -q openfire ?
can someone provide the service setup script as they are missing from the new RPM.
rpm -Uvh openfire-3.3.2-1.i386.rpm should install everything you need including the scripts. You don’t even need to run anything in bin/extras. The startup script is /etc/init.d/openfire, so to run openfire do service openfire start or /etc/init.d/openfire start.
