newbie question - first installation and execution

I'm trying to demo ofbiz to see if it fits my needs.  I am NOT a java
programmer, so this is probably going to be a ridiculously stupid question.  

I was following the quick and easy setup instructions 
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Demo+and+Test+Setup+Guide here  (I
installed ofbiz-rel4.0-current.zip) and got to step 3.  I mucked through my
environment variables, but can't seem to get past this error: "Unable to
access jarfile ofbiz.jar." 

I also noticed that the archive I grabbed didn't have a file
(/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml) referenced in the DB setup in
the Technical Production Setup doc.  Did I miss a download somewhere?

I've searched the ofbiz.apache site, this forum, and googled the message to
no avail.  I'm stumped.  

Thanks for the help.

Hmmm... yes Ashish, you are right but if Judd downloaded the zip file  
from the build.hotwaxmedia.com site then it means that he should have  
a pre-built system...
I don't know why the ofbiz.jar file isn't in there... are others  
having the same issue?

You have to:
1) create an empty db in MySQL
2) create the db user and grant all privileges on that db
3) use the information at 1 and 2 to configure the entityengine.xml  
file (also add the driver to the classpath)

As soon as you will restart OFBiz the tables will be created, but  
without seed data.

So you have also to:

4) "ant run-install-seed" (or "ant run-install" if you want also the  
demo data)

Yes it is, we prefer to be cryptic (joke ;o)

You need to re-run install to populate the new DB

Tim Rupert is kindly (we are all volunteers) currently fixing this issue on the server. Thank you for the feedback.

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by juddco <ju...@gmail.com>.
Thanks, Jaques. 

A couple more questions for clarity:  

1.  Is that beanshell line supposed to be the last thing I see when I run
it?  I kind of expected something like, "Congratulations!  OFBiz is
installed and running successfully!  Go have a drink!"  I suspect that my
install/start did not complete.

2.  On the database, I was trying to get fancy and shift to MySQL from the
very beginning.  This time, I'm going to start with Derby (one less
variable) but I'm going to want to shift to mysql.  How do I make that
transition?   I know how to configure entityengine.xml and where to put the
driver (I *have been* reading the docs.  :-)).  The question is do I need to
re-run install to switch databases, or will starting the jar build the
tables in the new DB?  What about the seed/demo data?

(I cut out most of the previous discussion on the thread for efficiency. 
What happened was the trunk and release zip files on hotwax weren't built,
and I had a mess trying to get them installed.  Due in large part to my
ignorance.  Now I am starting over.)

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by Tim Ruppert <ti...@hotwaxmedia.com>.
I have confirmed the issue and will have it rectified ASAP.  Note that  
we will not be going back and rebuilding all of the old versions - too  
much downloading to test all of them :)

Cheers,
Tim

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
You are right Judd. The trunk (at least) is not build anymore. So it seems from you research that this dates from 6/18

Please Tim, could you have a look at it ?

TIA

You don't need to run ant if you are using a nightly build. This is *the reason* these nightly builds exist. Just follow the 
instructions on the download page

It's safe enough when testing. This is a reminder for production phase.

The nightly builds should contain aDerby  DB ready to go with demo data, *please read instructions on the download page* !

I'm currently downloading the last trunk nightly build and will let you know if I get any problems

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by juddco <ju...@gmail.com>.
The 6/18 trunk version is the last one with the ofbiz.jar file in it. 

I had some trouble getting the version I had to work, so I'm scrapping the
load, the DB, etc. and starting over with the 6/18 trunk.  

I ran ant, and as far as I could tell it was successful.  I had some hiccups
with the install, and then with running ofbiz.  The last line of the log was
that the beanshell service ports were not secure.  I'm not sure if that's OK
or not (as in, I don't know if the startup script had hung or completed). 
My database tables were set up, although they didn't contain any seed or
demo data.  (I had set it up to run mysql 4 local and the jdbc driver seemed
to be working just fine).

Ultimately, I got 404's when I went to
http://dev1.mydomain.com/ecommerce/control/main.  

Back to the beginning.  If you see anything obvious that I'm missing, I'd
love to hear about it.  I'm going to stick with the Derby DB until I make
sure that the demo works.  If you have any pointers for changing from Derby
to MySQL, that would be great too.

Thanks again for the help.

Judd

Thanks.  Just glad to know I'm not crazy.  

I'll give it another shot.  Any reason I can't just upload the jar file?  Or
do I need to replace the entire contents?

Jacques,

Thanks for this details.
After replying to this thread I noticed that there has been a discussion
going on in some other thread and you have specified the solution of it over
there.

Ashish,

Judd took http://build.hotwaxmedia.com/builds/ofbiz-trunk-current.zip. But  
There has been a bug commited last night : http://www.nabble.com/Release-4.0-ofbiz.jar-missing-tt18198738.html

Judd : just reload the new package,  following user ML would have helped...

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by Ashish Vijaywargiya <vi...@gmail.com>.
Oh Man,

ofbiz.jar file is generated when you run the "ant".
"ant" (the default target) compiles all java files and at the end it creates
the ofbiz.jar file in the OFBIZ_HOME directory.

It will be good if you should spend some time in reading the document
available on
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index.

Re: newbie question - first installation and execution

Posted by juddco <ju...@gmail.com>.
Thank you for your response.  I downloaded the trunk, and it's about 40%
larger than the 4.0 current.  Still no ofbiz.jar; I still get the same
error.  

I tried adjusting the JAVA_HOME variable, thinking that might be it.  

Basic question:  Should there be an ofbiz.jar file in the zip file at this
link:  http://build.hotwaxmedia.com/builds/ofbiz-trunk-current.zip?  There
isn't one.  

Thanks again,

Judd
