Spark 2.8.3 Openfire 4.1.1 connection errors

vaughn · February 3, 2017, 7:28am

Running on Windows 10. I had trouble with the original Spark 2.7. There are some 50 users. I’m not sure what version of Spark they use. I installed Openfire 4.1.1 on a different server. I installed Spark 2.8.3 on my computer. I was getting an error about certificates so I checked “accept all certificates”. Now I’m getting “unknown connection error. Please check the log file”. But the log file is empty. It shouldn’t be this hard.

Is your server on a different machine than Spark? What is your server’s name and what do you put into domain field on Spark’s login screen?

Yes, the log file is at that location. It’s empty. To log in I use the username and IP address (port 5222). The domain is blank. But, there is a new wrinkle. I hadn’t noticed before. If the domain is blank the login link is disabled.

Domain part can’t be empty. I suppose you put IP in the Advanced menu? What is you Openfire server’s name (XMPP Domain Name: in Admin Console)? You should put that into Domain field.

I put the domain name in and got “unknown connection error. Please check the log file”. I went into advanced and unchecked “accept all certificates”. Now I’m getting “unable to view certificate”. But the log file is not empty. I rechedked the “accept all certificates” box.
