Updated my test machine, no problems so far. Primary server update scheduled for tomorrow.

Yeah, Todd. I have commented on that ticket after trying out the nightly build. Maybe it improves some other issue with the plugins. But i'm having the problems only with my Windows box. On Linux plugins are installing and updating fine.

You need to upgrade all the plugins too.

GOT IT WORKING FINALLY!!!!

Fixed and Openfire is on version 3.6.2

See the 1st post here:

Thanks to Daniel Henninger.

The failure is a due to corrupt database.

Steps to fix:

1. Stop and Backup the entire Openfire folder.
2. Install the latest version deb package.
3. edit resources/database/upgrade/17/openfire_hsqldb.sql file in openfire folder.
4. remove every line above the following text:

// add new indexed column to mucRoom
ALTER TABLE mucRoom ADD COLUMN serviceID BIGINT BEFORE roomID;
CREATE INDEX mucRoom_serviceid_idx ON mucRoom(serviceID);

There would be some 10 lines to remove.

5. Login to the admin console using http port 9090.

6. Follow on screen instructions and this the Database configuration part should go smoothly.
