How to update does deppend on which version of Openfire you are using (RPM, EXE, tar.gz, ...) and which operating system. You should give us more details.

In any case, an step-by-step update should not be necessary. Also you can copy conf/openfire.xml to avoid running setup again.

  Hm, ask me something easier ;-) I am using openfire since the version of wildfire 3.x and updated everytime using tar.gz. The inital installation was made by using rpm or tar.gz running ubuntu 6.06.
  
  Of course i am copying my openfire.xml.
  
  Thanks.

    currently i am using 3.6.0 and i already said it's tar.gz in /opt/openfire/.
    
    is there any way to intall 3.6.1 as rpm and move the old one to the rpm that installed new?
    
    if i install new rpm and will shutdown the tar.gz server. and then will start from rpm service. what will happen? atleast it will be easier to maintain the service and update the server if i use rpm.

      Openfire update with minimal downtime (CentOS, tar.gz-Version)

      Can't help you with RPM, never used it.

        Another successful update from 3.5.2 to 3.6.1 via rpm.
        
        CentOS 5.1, minimal install, local mysql database.
        
        Ran RPM upgrade command, openfire restarted itself, all was good. No issues so far either. Total downtime was under 15 seconds!
