== Openfire 3.3.3 Howto ==
Openfire (formerly Wildfire) is a real time collaboration (RTC) server dual-licensed under the Open Source GPL and commercially. It uses the only widely adopted open protocol for instant messaging, XMPP (also called Jabber). Openfire is incredibly easy to setup and administer, but offers rock-solid security and performance.
Download jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin & Openfire 3.3.3
Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp and download the Linux RPM (self-extracting file)
chmod a+x jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin
sh jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin
== Download Openfire ==
Go to http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp and click on linux & download openfire-3.3.3-1.i386.rpm
yum localinstall openfire-3.3.3-1.i386.rpm
chown -R www.www /opt/openfire
chmod 750 /opt/openfire
== Create the Database ==
To create the Openfire Database, you'll need to perform each of the following steps:
mysqladmin create openfiredb
mysql -e "grant all privileges on openfiredb.* to openfireuser@localhost identified by 'yourpassword'"
mysql -e "flush privileges"
cd /opt/openfire/resources/database
mysql openfiredb < openfire_mysql.sql
IMPORTANT: You may wish to alter the "openfireuser" and "yourpassword" information in the grant privileges line above. BE SURE TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU USED AS THE WEB MANAGER WILL ASK YOU FOR IT!
== Access MySQL from the local network ==
To use the MySQL database you will need to run a script to make port 3306 available to
the Openfire Instant Messaging Server.
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly no
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/my.cnf
/etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S50mysqld restart
Use the netstat -ant command to check status
netstat -ant
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look for the following line in your `netstat -ant` result:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
While you're looking, you should see the ports that wildfire will be using:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9091 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5222 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5223 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5269 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
== Start the Openfire Messaging Server ==
cd /opt/openfire/bin
sh openfire.sh
Go to http://yourserver:9090 (insecure) or https://yourserver:9091 (secure)and follow through the setup via the browser. The only area that may be confusing is the database setup area. See example configuration below.
Database Driver Presets: '''MySql'''
JDBC Driver Class: '''com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'''
Database URL: '''jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openfiredb'''
Username: '''openfireuser'''
Password: '''yourpassword'''
== Openfire daemon ==
Need to create a openfire daemon that will load at start up
cd /etc/rc7.d
ln -s /opt/openfire/bin/openfire.sh S90openfire
shutdown -r now
NOTE: I have an issue with the openfire daemon , as it will load the script on startup , however, it will not load the login prompt
Example:
Openfire 3.3.3 [Oct 10, 2007 1:22:31 PM]
Admin console listening at:
http://test.testserver.local:9090
https://test.testserver.local:9091
instead of the login prompt
Test Login:
== OPTIONAL ==
If you would like to have web access to the openfire documentation has been installed on your server, this section will show you how to make an e-smith custom template.
Make the custom-template directory:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Create and edit a file called "99openfire"
pico -w 99openfire
(add the code shown below to the template)
(you can select and copy then paste in PuTTY with right click)
# Openfire instant messaging server
Alias /openfire /opt/openfire
<Directory /opt/openfire>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Directory>
# end of Openfire fragment
ctrl-x to save, y to agree, and [Enter] to exit the PICO editor
== Expand the template ==
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
service httpd restart
service httpd-e-smith restart
access your documentation at:
http://yourservername-or-IP/openfire/documentation/
To reiterate, this is NOT an essential step in the installation process and only provides local access to the documentation.
== Uninstalling Openfire ==
Commands to remove openfire
# yum remove openfire
# mysqladmin drop openfiredb
