error: package openfire-3.7.0-1.i386.rpm is not installed

Can anyone help? I can’t find any trace of Openfire on my system, I’ve rebooted and refreshed. Nothing works. I did have it installed before, and it must have left something behind, but I don’t know what.

rpm expects a package name, not filename for the -e

rpm -e openfire

Thanks, though it didn’t help. I tried and got this:

[root@server ~]# rpm -e openfire

error reading information on service openfire: No such file or directory

It’s okay! I finally got it working. I restarted httpd again and it worked. It must have left something behind when I tried last time.
