Thanks Jacques.  This worked.

However, I might add that several things need to be done with this in order to make it a better product.

First, the installation instructions seem to be all over the place and different.  The instructions need a major overhaul.  I see installation instructions at...

[https://ofbiz.apache.org|https://ofbiz.apache.org/]

[https://cwiki.apache.org|https://cwiki.apache.org/]

[https://ci.apache.org|https://ci.apache.org/]

This is very confusing to me and I am sure new people to this type of technology.  IMO there needs to be one place for help and installation instructions.

I got the software installed, but for example, I don't even know how to get to the ecommerce page.  I tried https://localhost, but that doesn't work.  But I cannot find any information anywhere on how to get there or how to install it.

 

Also IMO, there needs to be an installer program written for this product.

The installer should come up and ask the user how they want the product to be installed.  Which web server they want to use, which database they want to use, if they want to preload example data, what ports they want to use, which modules/features they want installed, maybe ask for initial users, and so on.
