[Dhis2-devs] Installation on Ubuntu

2010-01-28 Thread Knut Staring
Hi, Do we have an easy to follow recipe for a full DHIS2 install (with Postgres) on Ubuntu? Especially in a somewhat offline environment? I know there is a .deb package, and I have myself scratched some notes here: http://www.openhealthconsortium.org/wiki/doku.php?id=ohm_on_an_ubuntu_server

There is some good info at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/trunk/annotate/head:/tools/dhis2deb/Readme.txt But it is hidden away in an obscure place and not complete enough to be truly helpful for an installation - unlike the DHIS2 Live or IzPack installers we have for Windows.

Hi, I think it would be really useful to have a .deb package that is set up to use postgres out of the box. Ideally the DHIS deb install process should trigger installs of any other needed packages, like java, tomcat, postgres. Would that be possible? Ola -- 2010/1/28 Knut Staring

The deb package as it is currently is set up with dependencies on java and tomcat (so they will be triggered to install if necessary). By default it will just run out of the box using an h2 database in /opt/dhis2/database. I held off on the postgres dependency because I know there are also mysql

Thanks Bob, I don't know how many people are currently interested in running DHIS2 on Ubuntu, but I don't think it is negligible, and I would like to see it increase. The reason this came up now, is that I have been trying to guide people in Malawi over IM, not an efficient process. Installation

Ideally IMHO we might have a super-admin view of dhis without the database connection with a set of simple web steps to setup the connection rather than fiddling manually with hibernate.properties. Not unlike the openmrs installer. A puzzle to solve is that we use the same database for

Hi Lars, I discussed this with Ola and Bob once about how we can easily switch between databases... Is that what you are talking about here?? The better longterm approach would be to couple Spring-based API with the hibernate layer and provide access to the layer only through the API without any
