Problem Installing ofbiz - build works but startofbiz does not
I have been trying to sucessfully install ofbiz for about three weeks now. As
yet I have not had a sucessful working result. but have learnt much during
the process as well as my fitst introduction to the java ee sdk amongst
other java offerings.
Now the install,
I have followed the instructions on the apache ofbiz site to the bitter end.
two days ago i finally had a sucessful build using ant.
I am working through the cmd.exe window on a windows(evil) ;o) XP laptop.
[evaluation]
one problem i discovered is the 'java_ee_sdk_5' ran a application server on
port 8080. i reinstalled this to port 8085 - this looks like fun to play
with, also by installing it along side the sdk mentioned below the ant build
was finally sucessful.
i also have java sdk combined jvm 'j2sdk1.4.2_16' installed under program
files.
i believe i have all the correct environmental variables set correctly -
i.e. things have started to work so far.
apache ant seems to be ok. i have not set classpath as suggested in the
ofbiz/ant install pages.
and i am using subversion [working] to checkout - the trunks i have tried
are:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk
http://svn.ofbiz.org/svn/ofbiz/trunk
i initially did the ant.bat build
and also the ant run-install these were both sucessfull (using ant clean
after each attempt)
then doing startofbiz.bat from the command line does not work.
I do get a load of start up output in the cmd window but this is like greek
to me. but i do see some errors such as
connection refused to host 127.0.0.1 --- mentioned three times at the
current count
I have had popups from windows to allow internet access and have clicked ok
etc
so far i am completely stumped, bamboozaled and getting tired but am still
fighting!
Please Please Please can someone help -
p.s. before you say... I cant afford a new computer at the moment but i do
have a spare fedora core 6 machine - but am too instatutionalised in the
windows environment to get my head round feodora linux env in a single
evening. lol ;o). that is a play time task for a later date....

you seem to have a earlier version of the trunk
there was a structural change and the
framework\logs\console.log
is now
framework\runtime\logs\console.log
so you may want to update from the svn.
When you type the url it should be
http://localhost:8080/ and https://localhost:8443/
your host file on the machine translates that into an ip address,
normally 127.0.0.1
it also looks like you have a conflict with the java server
I would suggest shutting it down. ofbiz has its own embedded tomcat web
server.

question --- is this the default address "http://0.0.0.0" rather than
"http://localhost:8080/" or "http://127.0.0.1:8080/" i.e. building direct
from svn trunk to do a test run will use 0.0.0.0 in the browser to see
ofbiz.

Do you mean like this:?
change
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -Xms256M -Xmx512M -jar ofbiz.jar >
framework\logs\console.log
to
"c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2_16\bin\java" -Xms256M -Xmx512M -jar ofbiz.jar >
framework\logs\console.log
type above in at the comand line in cmd.exe window or as you say hard code
it in the bat file.

correct is
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk
if you do a java -version what do you get? should be 1.5 or better
you can leave the address at 0.0.0.0 and it will work. running both
trunk and branch on an XP home computer.
I just copy, edit and paste the start line from startofbiz.bat
I take and added the path to the front of the /java
you can hard code it into the bat file if you want.
helps if you attach the log file so we can see what is happening.
