MavrickIT, I feel your pain. I'll assume that this is not a production server but one you are using to learn OFBiz and ubuntu.
I built an ubuntu server, added svn, ant and the JDK using the apt-get commands which will put them in the right places. Most of my help came from the ubuntu forums which are great. Search the ubuntu forums for --- apt-get svn -- and you'll find lots of info. Here's what I did: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install subversion $ sudo apt-get install ant $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk And add these lines in your /home/youruserid/.bashrc near the top. #JAVA export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java Just remember to use the sudo command before other commands as that causes your commands to run as root for any permissions issue. Like above. Then I did the svn co command to get the source. INITIAL DOWNLOAD $ cd /opt (I put ofbiz in /opt...) $ sudo svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk ofbiz this will take awhile but you will have the trunk on a new folder called ofbiz $ cd ofbiz $ sudo ant run-install (about 7m 23s on the old PC I use for ubuntu & OFBiz but 34m on my xp laptop) This will build your ofbiz.jar file and populate the data When it is done run: $ sudo ./startofbiz.sh This will give a lot of output and end with something like this, when it is ready to try: ------------------ 2009-10-06 06:25:34,806 (main) [ BeanShellContainer.java:101:INFO ] NOTICE: BeanShell service ports are not secure. Please protect the ports ---------------------- point your browser to ( if it is on the same computer ) http://127.0.0.1:8080/ecommerce or https://127.0.0.1:8443/catalog/control/main that should work, if not, I'd like to refine it so it does. Updating is easy $ cd /opt/ofbiz $ sudo svn up $ sudo ./stopofbiz.sh $ sudo ./stopofbiz.sh Yes I seem to have to do it twice. You can check to see if ofbiz is running with $ ps -ef | grep ofbiz Which will have the line: $ sudo ant $ sudo ./startofbiz.sh If it has an error in starting , run $ sudo ant clean-all run-install To get a clean database and reinstall the demo data. Then retry $ sudo ./startofbiz.sh Dan Dodd IHOP-KC [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Ruth Hoffman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 9:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ofbiz installation tutorial??? Hi MavrickIT: How about not using "wget" and use the download button from the Wiki. As for version, I suggest the one pointed to by the download button. Beyond that, I can't help you.
