Description:
Hi, I have deployed an Openfire server on Google cloud using Bitnami. In that server, I am installing the HTTP File Upload plugin for multimedia transfer in groups.

My client application is conversations.im . Multimedia transfer is not working in groups despite installing the plugin.

I found an issue on the Home page which says "DNS configuration appears to be missing or incorrect." . When I click on it, it redirects me to dns-check.jsp , where it says "No DNS SRV records for this host are found".

How do I configure DNS SRV records for my Openfire in Google Cloud

Hi @sparker0i,

Thanks for using Bitnami. The SRV records are configured in your DNS provider. Do you already have a domain pointing to that machine. If so, which is the provider?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I have my server deployed on Google cloud. I don't
know how do I configure the DNS on Google cloud. Does anyone know how to
add those records to Google Cloud?

Hi @sparker0i,

Even if the server itself is hosted at Google Cloud, the domain name could be hosted and the DNS (the service that translates names such as my-domain.net to IP addresses) could be hosted in another provider. Are you using Cloud DNS or other for that?

Hi,

I am not using any sort of domain to go to it. I'm only using the IP
address that I get when I start the Virtual Machine from my bitnami account
to access the admin interface of Openfire. That is why I'm asking is there
a way to modify the DNS SRV Records for Openfire within Google Cloud?

Hi,

DNS records can only be set for domains, not for IP addresses. Anyway, this may not be related to the issue with file transfers. Do you see any error when trying to send a file?
