Setting up hubot on an openfire server - openfire

Question

I'm running Ubuntu and I am trying to get a hubot to connect to my local openfire server. I followed the tutorial here, and everything went pretty smooth till toward the end, after editing the dependencies, I run npm install and receive two warnings:
npm WARN package.json node-xmpp#0.3.2 'repositories' (plural) Not supported.
npm WARN package.json Please pick one as the 'repository' field
> node-stringprep#0.1.11 install /opt/hubot/my-bot/node_modules/node-stringprep
> node-gyp rebuild
I'm not sure what it means that the repositories arn't supported and I tried npm install node-stringprep and a node-gyp rebuild. The npm install gives me the same warnings, but finishes succesfully, while the rebuild gives me this error output:
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

Since they are warnings and not errors(on the npm install), I went ahead and started hubot to see if it would connect but it doesn't. I don't get any errors from it but it doesn't connect. The output when I run the bot:
jake#jake-Lenovo-G580:/opt/hubot/my-bot$ ./bin/hubot --adapter xmpp

And nothing happens.
I double checked all the hubot xmpp fields several times to make sure they are correct, and although this particular output does not have it, I tried several variations of usernames -> hubot#jake-lenovo-g580 and hubot#jake-Lenovo-G580, so that it matches my domain.
Any help much appreciated.
