Hi Fong, Please use rather user ML for such questions, http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Mailing+Lists Because I can not answer to everyone personnaly and there you will get a wider audieance and much more effective support (some persons/companies are already using multi-tenants on a day to day basis)
It seems you have a installation problem, send your log (in message, attachments don't get through in user ML) or rather the relevant snippet Thanks Jacques ----- Original Message ----- From: Ofbiz 开发 To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 5:36 AM Subject: Re: Question for Ofbiz dev -- How to change Ofbiz to multi-user Hi Jacques, Thank you very much for your email. I checked out the trunk and followed the instruction on that Wiki page, I can see the tenant information is loaded into ofbiztenant.tenant table, but it keeps getting "cannot obtain database connection" when running "ant run-install-multitenant". ofbizolap_tenant1 database and tenent01_db database are both empty. I use PostgreSQL 9.1, do I need to stop the server when creating new tenants please? And most importantly, how do I check if new tenants has been created successfully? Can I login as the tenant and use the platform? Thanks very much.

We are thinking of using Ofbiz to build our E-Commerce platform. We are impressed by its rich and powerful functionalities. At the moment it seems those functions can only be used by one company, i.e. a company login to back end, creates products and promotions, and those products and promotions will be available in the storefront. We would like to change it so that each registered user can have such a backend portal, and each one is isolated, but in the storefront, it can display all user's product and promotions etc. So users register account through storefront, then login to backend portal. For example, User A creates Product A1, Product A2 and Promotion P1 in the backend. User B creates Product B1, Product B2 and Promotion P2 in the backend. They can't see or manage each other's products and promotions, but any one can see Product A1, A2, B1, B2 and promotion P1, P2 in the storefront. Ideally I would also like people to see A1, A2 and P1 belongs to User A and B1, B2 and P2 belongs to User B, and in the search result people can refine the search by searching User A product only etc. What is the correct way of approaching this, at least this "multi-user backend feature" please? Can someone point me the right direction please? Thank you very much. Fong
