I had the same problem as OP

I've added admin to the openfire.xml file --> now the admin console page cannot be displayed

If I change <setup> back to false the admin console comes back, but my configuration is (of course) gone

I'm really finding Openfire difficult to configure. Originally I wanted to authenticate against AD but after a few hours of struggling with "Base DN" and AD attribute names I've gone for something less ambitious. Is there a helpful "howto" which would walk me through getting _something_ up and running?

Cheers

Matt

p.s. version 3.6.4 of Openfire running on WIndows Server 2003 SP2

p.p.s Have tried again and now get errors in the Openfire console, see attached textfile

This changing the .xml file did worked for me and I am able to login again. Thanks for the fix.

I had the same issue.

Would not let me log into the admin console.

looked at the settings int the db.

They were fine.

set the config file setting for setup to false.

ran through the configuration again with the settings.

I can now login to the admin console.

there is a bug somewhere.
