Somehow, the DB upgrade scripts were not executed. So it complained because it could not find its tables:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException:
  Table 'openfiredb.ofID' doesn't exist

What I did was to check in the jiveVersion table which DB version was set for “openfire”. Then I mysql’ed the SQL files in /opt/openfire/resources/database/upgrade manually to the latest version.

Then everything worked fine. Why it didn’t run the SQL scripts automatically? I don’t know. But it once again proves that the quality of Openfire is.. not so high.

Just run it with the directory with the XML-files as parameter. The file for Openfire will be put out on stdout.

It MAY help to set the following properties to true:

 plugin.gateway.tweak.percenthack
 plugin.gateway.tweak.persistentroster

More information can be found hidden somewhere on the Openfire site.

PS: Jabberd 1.4 to Openfire export tool coming here soon.

  • Make sure you have a lot of packages installed: subversion rpm-build rpm-devel ant ant-junit ant-scripts ant-jmf ant-nodeps  ant-antlr junit (this may be way too much, but it worked for me)
  • Checkout the Openfire sources from SVN
  • In build/ run ant installer.rpm
  • Happy compiling and installing :)
