Setup Jabber Server on Linux using Openfire

(http://www.igniterealtime.org)
We should have a base Net Install of Debian Lenny with the Network, Time and Date set. See: Linux NIC Time and Date

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add unstable/non-free sources for Java Platforms

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free

Update Apt and Install required Packages

~# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ssh build-essential java-common sun-java5-jdk sun-java6-jdk mysql-server phpmyadmin

Verify Java Version

~# java -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Download Openfire Server for Linux

~# cd /tmp
/tmp~# wget openfire_3.6.3_all.deb

Install Openfire Server

/tmp~# dpkg -i openfire_3.6.3_all.deb

MySQL DB Setup

Setup phpmyadmin

~# vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the following to your apache2.conf for phpmyadmin:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Restart Apache

~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Reset MySQL root password

Make sure you reset your root pass for mysql

~# mysql -u root
mysql> update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE User='root';
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.04 sec)
Rows matched: 2  Changed: 2  Warnings: 0

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> exit
Bye

Login to PHPMyAdmin

Open browser to http://hostname/phpmyadmin
Login to PHPMyAdmin and go to Privileges
Choose Add User
Enter Username Host and Password (Use % for host to accept for ALL hosts)
CSelect "Create database with same name and grant all privileges" and click "Go"
Remember this info because you will need for DB Config.

Execute SQL Query for OpenFire DB

While still in phpmyadmin, browse to the Openfire db
Select the SQL tab up top
Open /usr/share/openfire/resource/database/openfire_mysql.sql and paste into phpmyadmin sql window
Select Go

Now we should have Openfire installed with mysql and db ready.
