How do I install openfire on my domain ? I really appreciate any help.Thanks in Advance.

Solution

  • Since you are using shared hosting (Cpanel) you need to have SSH access to your server. You can easily enable SSH for your shared hosting server. How to enable SSH/Shell Access in cPanel might help you to do so else use Google it.

    Installing and configuring open fire

    • Login to your server via SSH in terminal

      ssh username_of_server@ip_adress_of_server

    • Run in terminal

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade

    • Install JRE ( if you didn't have already because Openfire is in JAVA)

      sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
