Cannot login to OpenFire after server restart

Hello,

I’m facing real strange problem make client login to my openfire server after restarting my ubuntu server.

The problem shown in pidgin is “Unknow Host” and I can see “localhost” in the xml stream but there is nowhere in my openfire’s settings that localhost is mentioned…

here is a sample of the pidgin debug window:

proxy: Connecting to 162.243.109.128:5222 with no proxy

(11:06:17) proxy: Connection in progress

(11:06:17) proxy: Connecting to 162.243.109.128:5222.

I really really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks a lot!

OK. finally found the problem after a lot of frustrating debugging hours…

Well the problem was with a process named “beam” listening to port 5222 not letting OpenFire to listen to that port. I killed “beam” and restarted OpenFire. Now everything is fine!

Hope it helps anyone.
