Subject: Features, attributes or content
I need for some type of products for example books to have some attributes
that are the same for all products of category with books. For example
writer, publisher, language. For these I can make a category of features.
For other attributes like book pages or book publish date maybe I need to
make some attributes or content? What is the best approach? When I edit a
book for example I want to easily add to the product all the book specific
features and attributes. Can I make a content named book that contains all
that attributes for example or it is some better approach?

Hi

Thank you for your fast reaction to my question (yes port 8443, I made a
typing mistake)
I am using 16.11.04 version of ofbiz. My laptop has W8.1 64-b-OS.
I run 'netstat -aon | more' in cmd but none of the port is 8443.

I downloaded ofbiz from the page below (link) - suggested link and run
'gradlew loadDefault ofbiz' from my root directory of ofbiz which is
C->ofbiz.

I must doing something wrong. Any chance for any clue?

Here is the link where I got the ofbiz from:

https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip

Kind Regards
Jack

Re: Deploying Ofbiz on Cloud with Nginx

2018-03-07 Thread Shi Jinghai 
Hi Sean,

If you use Nginx in front of OFBiz, you don't have to touch ofbizssl.jks, as 
the ssl connection only between client and Nginx, Nginx to OFBiz is by http. So 
let Nginx use your public key and private key files directly, i.e.:
ssl_certificate  cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

On the 52.165.18.243, I'd suggest to use the internal IPs of Azure, and the 
nginx config may look like:
upstream ofbiz { 
server 10.1.99.100:8080 srun_id=jvm1;
server 10.1.99.101:8080 srun_id=jvm2;

jvm_route $cookie_JSESSIONID reverse;
}
...
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_connect_timeout  240;
proxy_send_timeout 240;
proxy_read_timeout 240;
# note, there is not SSL here! plain HTTP is used
proxy_pass http://ofbiz/;
}

On the framework/catalina/ofbiz-component.xml (set jvm-route to jvm1 or jvm2):



...






































I think it's OK now for the Nginx OFBiz integration, but you cannot get remote 
client IP in OFBiz as X-Real-IP is not accepted by tomcat, if the remote IP is 
necessary, you have to add several lines in tomcat source code to achieve it.

Kind Regards,

Shi Jinghai

主题: Deploying Ofbiz on Cloud with Nginx

Hi All,

I'm trying to deploy Ofbiz on an ubuntu 16.04 VM on Azure.

I've got nginx, java version 1.8.0_161, and ofbiz 16.11 downloaded on the VM. I 
can run nginx on the VM and see the welcome to Nginx page on my browser, but I 
notice an error when running ./gradlew ofbiz (please see my reply for the 
error) which I believe prevents me from reaching my ofbiz instance with the 
browser.

Does anyone have any advice for me, or perhaps relevant reading material on 
configuring ofbiz to go through nginx (also open to apache http server)?
Everything I've seen on user@ofbiz is either out of date, or leads to a webpage 
that has been removed.

I ran the following lines to generate my ssl keys:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 
openssl x509 -outform der -in cert.pem -out cert.der keytool -genkey -keyalg 
RSA -alias ssl -keystore ofbizssl.jks keytool -import -alias ssl -trustcacerts 
-file cert.der -keystore ofbizssl.jks

I modified the following files:

>> framework/catalina/ofbiz-component.xml
under container catalina-container, I changed the default-host to my VM's 
public IP (52.165.18.243) from 0.0.0.0 under container http-connector, I 
changed the address to my VM's public IP (
52.165.18.243) from 0.0.0.0, left port at 8080 under container https-connector, 
I changed the address to my VM's public IP
 (52.165.18.243) from 0.0.0.0, left port at 8443

>> framework/webapp/config/url.properties
port.https=443
port.http=80

>> etc/nginx/conf.d/ofbiz-ssl.conf

Re: I cannot start ofbiz on my laptop (localhost)

2018-03-07 Thread Giulio Speri - MpStyle Srl 
Hi,

Which OFBiz version do you use?
OFBiz on localhost runs on the https port 8443 (not 8442) for backoffice
applications and 8080 (http) for eCommerce, so make sure that the 8443 port
is not used by other processes.


Kind Regards,
Giulio

I cannot start ofbiz on my laptop (localhost)

2018-03-07 Thread jondon1928 
I went through all instructions couple of times but when I go 
localhost:8442/accounting I get a message that local host refused to connect.

I have Java installed and system variables added but I cannot have this right.

I am new to ofbiz but I read somewhere that tomcat is embedded.

Do I need Tomcat on my laptop? If so, I have an Apache server installed on my 
Windows 8.1.
When I try to run Tomcat I get a message:
"Make sure you have Java JDK or JRE installed and the required ports are free"

Are these two, that is, ofbiz and Apache Server are  in conflict?

I would really appreciate your help.

P.S. I simply want to install ofbiz to play with it and check its functionality.

​Hi all,

thank you very much for your answers and sorry for my late answer.
In these days I am evaluating, along with my colleagues, the Manufacturing
and MRP module of OFBiz against the same module on our ERP, to exactly know
the differences between two systems, in order to put down a list of
requirements to develop/integrate.

I'll keep you up to date.

Have a good day,
