Using openfire in an OpenBSD environment 1) openfire requires a database. If you intend on using the embedded (HSQLDB) database you may skip to step #2. If you intend on using MySQL or PostgreSQL, instructions are available at: __PREFIX__/share/doc/openfire/database.html 2) openfire may be started by executing: '__PREFIX__/sbin/openfirectl start' as root. 3) After starting openfire, you may access the web interface at http://[hostname]:9090/ 4) openfire's automated setup and plugin installation services require several directories to be writable by the _openfire user. When you complete the installation process, you may wish to tighten permissions on __PREFIX__/openfire and its subdirectories.
