That’s because its running a 32 bit java. Did you install the openfire with jre? if so, I believe that is bundled JRE is 32bit. Since you have a java x64, you can rename the folder JRE located in the openfire install folder. Restart openfire, and it should pickup your system jre (if your java environment var are set in windows).
Java 8 won’t run on server 2003. I tried just tossing it in as the jre folder in the openfire folder and it still crashed.
Looks like an OS upgrade is next. Which is silly because you’d think Java 6 64bit would allow more memory usage! This server needs upgrading anyway, just wansnt high on my list haha
hmmm…it looks like java 8 runs on 2003 per your screen shot with the included jre. perhaps the installer won’t run though, which i guess is no surprise as windows xp and 2003 went EOL last year. java 6 and 7 are also EOL
That is odd. Im looking at that now , looks like the bundled version of the jre is 8 maybe? but theirs is 32 bit. just strange that i cant feed it more memory either way. I verified i grabbed the 64bit version 8 and replaced the folder etc. really has me scratching my head over here now haha
not specific to your precise problem but I can certainly chime here…
WK8 R2 Server - latest Openfire
Using Openfire as Service never starts with more than 256k - despite vmoptions file! Out of Memory problems since last Java update
Starting from the Server Icon takes the 1536 Memory vmOptions
What does this mean?
This means that rebooting the Server won’t work as Openfire crashes on the 256k. The only solution right now is to log in and start it from the Openfire Server Icon - and leave the W2K8 Session running!
I will try this 64-Bit Java file transfer and see what happens.
Certainly setting the Java environment variable and renaming the Openfire jre folder doesn’t work
that’s OK. I’m an idiot. I goddit now - after making the openfire-service.options file! duh!
Thanks for reading
anyways i still would like to try copying the 64-Bit Java files to the Openfire JRE folder. I need to regroup!
yup i tried that. Didn’t work. I believe its because i cant physically install Java8 on the server 03 and this doesn’t use the bundled folder anymore. I’m currently in the process of upgrading the actual server and will give it all a go when running on server '12
