Slackware VPS

I''m having trouble getting Openfire to run on a Slackware VPS.

I''m new to Slackware (and linux in general, for the most part) but here''s the score so far:

I created a user "jive" and added it to the group "jive" and gave it the home directory /opt/openfire.

I downloaded and unzipped Java from Java''s website. Trying to run openfire as "jive" with ''/opt/openfire start'' returns

-

No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.

The version of the JVM must be at least 1.5.

Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.

You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /opt/openfire/.install4j

-

How do I tell what Java''s home directory is? As I didn''t know, I ran a few searches on the forum for people having similar problems, and someone suggested trying this from /opt/openfire/lib/:

-

java -server -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar

-

returns

-

.........

Admin console listening at http://127.0.0.1:9090

Openfire 3.3.1 May 14, 2007 5:37:27 PM

-

which looks like a successful start up.

However, as I only have console access to this box, it would be much nicer to configure it remotely via HTTP, and trying to connect to http://<VPSIP>:9090 doesn''t connect to the admin panel. In fact,

-

netstat -an|grep 9090

-

returns nothing.

Any ideas?

Re: Slackware VPS

If "java -version" works, try "which java" to see the path and put that in the script. For example, mine reads "JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre" (Debian).

If the server started and exited right after (what it looks like in your case), check the log files.

Re: Slackware VPS

Hi,

what''s the output of "java -version"? If it''s not a Sun JRE you may encounter some problems.

Re: Slackware VPS

Hi,

take a look at http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200608/index.html#282 and http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200608/0296.html - "Sounds to me that you have no support for epoll in your kernel ... unimplemented syscall, so your kernel does not have support for this syscall while your libc do"

Re: Slackware VPS

I know enough about linux to comprehend what the problem is, at least vaguely, but not enough to know how to fix it. Any suggestions?

Like Marco Berizzi wrote, config.gz is not present on my VPS on /proc/ or anywhere else.

Re: Slackware VPS

Hi,

also I have no idea how to fix it.

A Slackware mailing list or forum may be the much better place to ask this question.
