Hello, Mifos community.
I have recently begun volunteering with Mifos, and I am currently working
on the Windows Installation Guide for Mifos X (see project page
here<https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/MIFOSX/Windows+Installation+Guide+for+Mifos+X>in
the documentation wiki). Many thanks to Ed Cable for helping me get
started.
As part of learning Mifos X and writing this installation guide, I have
installed Mifos X on my own personal machine, a Windows 7 laptop. I am
following the technical installation guide
here<https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/blob/develop/INSTALL.md>
.
I am experiencing an error in my installation. Please assist me in getting
Mifos X running on my machine.
Below are a few relevant notes:
(1) I have a fairly technical background, but am not specifically an
engineer or IT person.
(2) I would like to use this process to learn about the support provided
via this mailing list. If possible, please help me get Mifos X running
using techniques that a non-technical but computer-savvy user would be
capable of. (If this is not currently possible, that is fine for now -- it
is just a preference that would assist in my documentation work for
non-technical users.)
(3) Once I get my personal installation running, I will have several
technical questions that Ed has asked me to post to this mailing list.
These questions relate to writing the non-technical Windows Installation
Guide for Mifos X. I will ask these questions on a separate post, once I
get my own installation running.
(4) There is one technical question I need to bring up now. I am
attempting to run Mifos X without SSL, in order to simulate a non-technical
user's environment (and also, it's been years since I configured SSL on a
web server, so I would prefer to skip that step on my own machine).
Here is my question to Ed about this, and his response:
Todd: Is SSL required? --- This appears to add quite a bit of complexity
to the installation process. I assume the target audience for the Windows
install doc will run Mifos on a single computer, or across their local
private network, which presumably has already been secured.
Ed: I think this is a fantastic question to pose to the mailing list. I
was surprised that for any installation we required SSL by default and we
should have an open discussion on the mailing list about that. The target
audience for this would be those who are installing on a single computer or
local network. Where we're looking to scale deployments the most is through
our partners, who should be capable enough to configure SSL for their
production installs.
I bring up this topic in case my lack of SSL usage is negatively affecting
my personal Mifos X installation (other than the obvious lack of encryption
without SSL).
(5) I previous had an all-in-one WAMP stack on my machine, called Uniform
Server <http://www.uniformserver.com/>. This was useful for some PHP web
apps I was writing, but caused problems with the Mifos X install
(especially MySQL) and was very difficult to remove. I believe I have
completely removed all traces of Uniform Server, including registry
entries, and MySQL is now running fine. I do not think this is related to
the error I am getting when launching Mifos, but I wanted to mention for
full disclosure.
(6) Here is the error I am getting, in Firefox, when I attempt to launch
Mifos X.
