    so you are saying that wooosa.de is your chat server's name?  This is normally a name for a web server.  what is the address you use to acces the Openfire admin website?

        What ever your name for that server is in your DNS server is what it should be named in Openfire.  If there is no valid DNS entry you will not be able to connect with a client.

          sorry, but i do not know what i can try. I tried the IP, the vhost address und the domain name. Nothing works. The installation directoy is in my case /home/user/openfire. Do i have to create an own dns enty for openfire? Can you give me an example?  What i am worried about is, that other programms like teamspeak, eggdrop, apache etc work without any problems.

           

          Thank you for your help,

            What it boils down to is you have not given your server a real name (i.e. chatserver.domain.com).  Because it is named only as domain.com, which is usually used for web servers you need to be sure you have srv records set correctly in your DNS to allow traffic to arrive at the proper destination.  without these entries in your dns the traffic will not resolve correctly.  There are other threads in the community dealing with srv records.  i do not have much first hand knowledge here as I use a FQDN for all servers.
