This will be the first time I have ever tried to set up a data base of any kind so I need some real step my step help. I want to use Openfire_3_6_4 with Plugins Spark or Red5. My objective is to be able to have by own IM chat with audio and video. I have read the Openfire install instruction but I am almost ashamed to admit I'm having a hard time understanding them. Also, if these are not the Plugins (Spark or Red5) I need please advise as to what I should use.
This is what I have done so far:
Downloaded Openfire_3_6_4.exe to my desktop.
My hosting service is Host Monster and I set up a MySQL Database which I named chat.

Thank you JBSmithG,
I would never shoot the messenger; you provided me with what I had to know, without good advice I'd still be barking up the wrong tree. I will look into VPS and see if it's something I can manage. I would truly like to have something like what Openfire offers, but it may be out of my league to set up and manage. Thank you again

Please don't shoot the messenger, but you're not gonna be able to do that with your hosting provider because you don't have access to the system resources required.
If it's really important to you then you might investigate getting a virtual private server (VPS), which is effectively like having your own Linux box and would allow you to install pretty much anything you want to. Some of them are nearly as cheap as you're paying now.
