Upgrading/Installing Openfire on Elastix

Recently my Openfire installation on Elastix has been bugging me about a new release but whenever i attempt the upgrade, it doesn't get updated. running 'yum update openfire' gives me no new update available.
This is how i went about the solution.
I went online, found pieces of solution  here and there and brought them together and the solution is listed below.
Required solution is a SSH connection,i use putty.exe.
IMPORTANT: Make a backup of all relevant data, if this is a virtual machine(like mine), make a snapshot before continuing
