Hi,
Have been trying to install Openfire 3.8.1 onto an Ubuntu 12.04 server. To satisfy the java requirements I did
apt-get install default-jre
Then when running the following, I get no errors.
sudo dpkg -i openfire_3.8.1_all.deb
I go to the setup page, and select the default Server Settings, and Embedded Database on the Database page.
I select LDAP server and then use the following settings to connect to the LDAP server, which is a Zimbra box.
Server Type: Open LDAP
Host: 10.11.12.5
Port: 389
BaseDN: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com
Admin DN: uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra
Admin Password ( zmlocalconfig -s | grep -i LDAProotPassword --> password)
I then sit there pressing the test button, and nothing happens. No confirmation or denial. If I proceed, I get to the bit where I add users, and all I can do is add admin. It fails to allow me to add any of the users in the LDAP directory.
Nothing much in the logfiles. info.log says

2013.04.10 15:51:25 org.jivesoftware.database.SchemaManager - Database update successful.
All other logs are blank. The embedded-db directory only holds two files openfire.properties and openfire.script, so it looks like the database is never created.
I have removed (apt-get purge openfire) and reinstalled it 20 times. I have tried with different browsers (Firefox and Chrome), I have tried sneaking up on it and catching it by surprise. Nothing. Any ideas? Can I supply more information?
