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.... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-Installing-ofbiz---build-works-but-startofbiz-does-not-tf4963241.html#a14216431 Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
