So new version of OpenFire server has been released and now I need it to update. Obviously I do not want to lose all the hard work I have put into it to configure with Active Directory. Here are few easy steps how to do this without loss of the configuration:
- Go to http://www.igniterealtime.com and download the latest release of the OpenFire server
- On the server stop all the services for OpenFire
- Go to C:Program FilesOpenFire and copy this entire directory to new location on your machine
- Once you copied all over to different location you have just backed up the installation
- Now click on the downloaded new Openfire package
- Follow up the instruction, make sure you install it to the same location (C:Program FilesOpenFire)
- Once the installation completed and no errors occurred
- Start the OpenFire server
- This has now completed the upgrade/update and you should have all setting intact
