Rookie having admin login trouble

Hi guys, I’m brand new to openfire and I’m having trouble doing my first login as admin in the admin-console.

I’ve tried with the internal database, changing the password for admin, leaving it blank, etc. It seems it changes the password because I uninstall the server and reinstall it in order to open the setup webpage (not looking much how to do it otherwise) and when it claims the old password, I have to input the one I chose in the last install.

I also tried with mysql database with the same result.

Can anyone tell me how to go on from here?.

I’m installing the last version of openfire from rpm into centos 5.

Regards

after completing the install, reboot the server prior to trying to login for the first time.

Hi again,

The admin user works with spark, it’s just the administration console I can’t log in. I have tried again many times but nothing seems to work.

I have installed openfire from rpm and as I see it, it should install the java jre, if I’m wrong, please tell me.

Regards.

after completing the install, reboot the server prior to trying to login for the first time.

Hi,

It was java jre, the rpm does not include it. It shold point that as it does with solaris and tar.gz files.

thanks anyway for the tips.

Regards
