Cannot connect to admin console

 

I just installed OpenFire on my MacPro running Leopard. The server claims to be started, but I cannot connect to the Admin Console in System Prerences. I tried

 

 

http://127.0.0.1:9090 manually, but that did not connect either. I see nothing in the firewall logs.

 

 

So how do I administer the server?

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi James,

 

I guess that also on MacPro Openfire writes log files, maybe you can take a look at them and verify whether Openfire opens port 9090 or not. info.log should contain a line with "Admin console listening at: http://hostname:9090/"

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi James,

 

are the server and your browser are on the same computer?

Do you have something like a "shell" on Mac where you can enter "netstat -an | grep 9090" to verify that port 9090 is open?

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi James,

 

it looks like you are connected with your browser.

tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.9090 127.0.0.1.54750 ESTABLISHED

tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.54750 127.0.0.1.9090 ESTABLISHED

So I wonder if Openfire has a bug and does not send any data to the browser.

 

You could try again in the shell:

telnet 127.0.0.1 9090

and then enter completely blind:

GET /login.jsp HTTP/1.0

 

 

press enter a few times and wait for a response. If a lot of HTML code is displayed then it could be a problem with your browser.

Hi James,

 

I hope that David brings up some more details, for me this looks like an "echo service" and not like Openfire responding. You could also try to connect to your network IP (192.168.1.1 or something like this) with http://192.168.1.1:9090/ - but you may get the same result as on localhost.

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi Jim,

 

are you sure that Openfire is really stopped, or is it possible that you have inetd running?

Did you try https://127.0.0.1:9091/ ? Can you try to connect to any other port (like 12345)? If you do not get a response there then you may want to edit conf/openfire.xml and adjust the port to one which is not used.

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi Jim,

 

 

 

I don't know much about Mac shell. As root, can you do something like the following?

 

sh-3.2# lsof -i :9090

 

In Linux that shows who owns the listening port. If it's Openfire application, it should show something like:

 

COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME

java    24381 daemon   46u  IPv6  89917       TCP *:9090(LISTEN)

 

Otherwise, it could be some other application.

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

It's possible that there is a bug in the installer when running on Leopard. I have tested upgrade installs thoroughly, but only did cursory initial installation testing. I'll try to get to that soon and let you know what I find.

Re: Cannot connect to admin console

Hi,

 

I assume that you did a fresh installation and that the warning "Error when trying to update to new name" did occur exactly one time. Or did you connect this server to an existing, old Wildfire or Openfire database?

 

You may want to add conference.jarmoc.local to your /etc/hosts file if you want to manage s2s via the /etc/hosts file. An alternative and maybe better solution is to handle this within Openfire by setting a "System Property", see Openfire Properties
