Deploying OpenFire for IM (Instant Message) service (TCP/IP service) with database MySQL, client Spark on Linux deployment OpenFire IM Messaging Middleware Services

Is you a hacker?

How to build another qq/wechat/whatsapp/skype/imessage?

Let's go through this!!!!

Materials:

A Linux/unix/windows/mac Computer/server, and do some basic things!

Is you feeling?

Okay, let ' s ride the rocket!

Get materials:1. A Search Engine

duckduckgo.com to search ' OpenFire '

2. Service Software

' OpenFire ' From here http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp

And the client software spark: ' Spark ' (here for example:download the Http://www.igniterealtime.org/download S/download-landing.jsp?file=openfire/openfire_3.9.3_all.deb, because I deployed it on a debian/ubuntu machine)

3. Packages Installation

 For some situations, some other packages such as openjdk-6-JRE should is installed or other packages  sudoinstall apache2 openjdk-6-jre mysql-server mysql-client- Then sudo dpkg-i/path/to/openfire_3. 9. 3_all.deb

4. Database Settings

Mysql-uroot- then in the MySQL consolemysql> CREATE DATABASE openfire;

5. Service Deployment

Go to the Web page:

xx.xx.xx.xx:9090

Then you'll see some references guiding your to install. (Choose the outer base database, not the default database. Here MySQL preferred)

Next and Next = then finish.

6. Plugin installation:monitoring Service

Go to the Web page:

xx.xx.xx.xx:9090

Click on the Green "Cross" button on the right.

7. Plugin Settings

Toggle the "Archive one-to-one chats" and/or "Archive Group chats"

8. An instant conversation

(P.S. You'll need to add some one before the conversation one-to-one, of course)

In the case, create a user here:

Then open the client software!!!

' Spark ' sudo sh /path/to/spark/resources/startup. SH &

Then you'll see the user interface as this:

Login!!!

Do the same thing for another account. e.g. another account: ' admin '

Send messages between different clients

From the Page:server, archiving-A, Search archive, we can see their talking record. wow! What a conversation:P

9. Data Tasting

We is not a satisfied with a just reading some thing from Web page.

Here feel what we got!

Mysql-uroot-p# input your passwordmysql> use openfire;mysqlSelect * from ofuser; " something dumped out " MySQL Select * from ofmessagearchive; " Other dumped out "

notice:the table ' ofmessagearchive ' is created because of the enabling of the plugin ' monitor archiving '

Let's see what we got!!

For User:

For the conversation record (archived)

yeah! We see that!

"Next Big":

Client B, middleware, client A

Client A, client B, middleware

Domestic server, middleware, client A

Domestic server, middleware, client A, client B, client C, ...

Domestic server, middleware, client A

Happy hacking!
