/etc/init.d/openfire start
P.S. 1. Server certificate. When new version is installed, the server certificate was not in place. Self-signed certificates can be generated by clicking on the first link on the following page:

Server -> Server Settings -> Server Certificates
One or more certificates are missing. Click here to generate self-signed certificates or here to import a signed certificate and its private key.
Then, web server needs to be restarted.
Certificates were modified so HTTP server needs to be restarted. Click here to restart HTTP server.
P.S. "IM Gateway" plugin has to be added manually again before it works.
