Openfire Installation Issue - Can't Login to admin panel

Solution 1:

I had the same issue, little know and it seems undocumented bug. Try rebooting the server after the you do the install.

Worked for me.

Solution 2:

I had to manually set the password, the setup page didn't save it. Restarting the server didn't help.

If you are using the embedded db on Windows, this will be in embedded-db/openfire.script:

INSERT INTO OFUSER VALUES('admin',NULL, ...

Change the NULL to your password. Then restart your OpenFire server.

Solution 3:

Openfire Admin Login How to change Openfire's admin login when using Windows Vista and an embedded database:

    to

however this is not programming related....

Solution 5:

We install and deploy OpenFire on Ubuntu fairly regularly. Here is a PARTIAL quick cut/paste from our internal company Wiki. We also pre-install webmin and/or virtualmin on some servers just to make things easier later on:

Pre Install

sudo -s

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

mkdir /home/kpwadmin/openfire-install

mkdir /home/kpwadmin/virtualmin-install

cd /home/kpwadimn/virtualmin-install

apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Installation

Download the latest .deb package from openfire.org. We will use the 3.6.2 version of Openfire in this article.

cd /home/oacadmin/openfire-install

wget http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloadServlet?filename=openfire/openfire_3.6.2_all.deb

Install the openfire_3.6.2_all.deb using dpkg

dpkg -i openfire_3.6.2_all.deb

Create a MySQL database for Openfire

Launch firefox and go to serverip/phpmyadmin (example: 72.11.123.59/phpmyadmin), login to phpmyadmin as root.

click privileges

add a new user

Username: openfire

Host: local

Password: "something secure"

Under the section titled "Database for user" click the radio button "create database with same name and grant all privileges"

click 'go'

Web Interface

Open another tab on firefox and go to serverip:9090 (example: 123.0.0.59:9090) to continue the install using the web interface.

select english

Etc, etc, etc.

Hope this helps...
