hi,

i was trying to install openfire on centos 6.2, downloaded rpm, installed installed fine, installed mysql and created a database with userand password only for openfire.

the thing is , afte restarting openfire, i opened browser and hit http://localhsot:9090 to start webbased installer, in the second step it asked me for java mysql driver database name etc, i given it but it gives error message that it can not contact database check /var/logs/error.log, but i could nt find the path anyware. I also installed mysql-connector-java, still the same,

please show me installing openfire with mysql ??? please help me , i think it will have main steps like installing java connector and java related things only

please help me guiding me those steps...

There's no issue using the embedded database.. but I suppose it depends on how many users you expect to support. Have you read this page? .. it may help: http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds...ion-guide.html
