RE: Ofbiz installation tutorial???

MavrickIT,

I feel your pain.
I'll assume that this is not a production server but one you are using to
learn OFBiz and ubuntu.

I built an ubuntu server, added svn, ant  and the JDK using the apt-get
commands which will put them in the right places. Most of my help came
from the ubuntu forums which are great. Search the ubuntu forums for ---
apt-get svn -- and you'll find lots of info. Here's what I did:
$  sudo apt-get update
$  sudo apt-get install subversion
$  sudo apt-get install ant
$  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

And add these lines in your /home/youruserid/.bashrc  near the top.
#JAVA
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java

Just remember to use the sudo command before other commands as that causes
your commands to run as root for any permissions issue.  Like above.
Then I did the svn co command to get the source.

INITIAL DOWNLOAD
$ cd /opt   (I put ofbiz in /opt...)
$ sudo svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk ofbiz
this will take awhile but you will have the trunk on a new folder called
ofbiz
$ cd ofbiz
$ sudo ant run-install
(about 7m 23s on the old PC I use for ubuntu & OFBiz but 34m on my xp
laptop)
This will build your ofbiz.jar file and populate the data
When it is done run:
$ sudo ./startofbiz.sh
This will give a lot of output and end with something like this, when it
is ready to try:
------------------
2009-10-06 06:25:34,806 (main) [ BeanShellContainer.java:101:INFO ]
NOTICE: BeanShell service ports are not secure. Please protect the ports
----------------------
point your browser to ( if it is on the same computer )
http://127.0.0.1:8080/ecommerce
or   https://127.0.0.1:8443/catalog/control/main

that should work, if not, I'd like to refine it so it does.

Updating is easy
$ cd /opt/ofbiz
$ sudo svn up
$ sudo ./stopofbiz.sh
$ sudo ./stopofbiz.sh
Yes I seem to have to do it twice.
	You can check to see if ofbiz is running with
	$  ps -ef | grep ofbiz
	Which will have the line:
	

$ sudo ant
$ sudo ./startofbiz.sh
If it has an error in starting , run
$ sudo ant clean-all run-install
To get a clean database and reinstall the demo data. Then retry
$ sudo ./startofbiz.sh

Hi MavrickIT:
How about not using "wget" and use the download button from the Wiki. As
for version, I suggest the one pointed to by the download button. Beyond
that, I can't help you.

Ruth

Browser parms was Ofbiz installation tutorial???

Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
Actually I have not looked to see if this can be or has been implemented.
I would like the Browser variables available in the widgets, and FTL's.
then in the header/Themes I could select the set of CSS files that would 
match that Browser.

Re: Ofbiz installation tutorial???

Posted by Matt Warnock <mw...@ridgecrestherbals.com>.

Where is the minimum screen size set, and would you be willing to
post/contribute your javascript code?

Re: Ofbiz installation tutorial???

Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
the placement of screenlets is based on a mininum screen size.
if you have a smaller screen size the the browser does all sorts of 
crazy stuff based on the browser.
have a javascript in mine that tells the user if they have a lower 
resolution than what ofbiz is set for.

Re: Ofbiz installation tutorial???

Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
there is a message that comes up when using ant about the version.
can't do different flavors of ofbiz since many changes are in the 
ofbiz-component.xml and web.xml. The Setup tab is the Start to 
installation  process in trunk and 10l4 see
https://localhost:8443/ofbizsetup/control/main
and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-635
there is a setup for Debian distribution
Unbutu and Centos don't need any special consideration.
