Why do you have to export your userbase? Maybe it's easier to just move your existing database or to connect with a new installation to your database.

Moving the db will only work if the openfire server is going to have the same name.  You also need to set the permissions correctly.  The db must have read/write permissions for the user that the server is run as.

This is not enough to help you. You have to describe what you have already tried, what was your old setup (server name) and what do you want to achieve.

Re: Migration from Windows to Linux

The mysql migration should be very simple.  I assume you are not using LDAP since you are trying to migrate users.  You should be able to import the database with ease if you used mysql on windows as well.  This is the steps I would take:

 

  • Install the openfire server
  • move the openfire.xml file from the old server to the new server, replacing the newly installed file
  • import the database from the old server to the new server
  • start openfire
