Hi,
I'm just trying to evaluate ofbiz for some simple POS needs (which is of course
not really simple). I see there is a lot of ofbiz development activity, and
thus a lot of documents which are actually out of date. Sometimes for example
the instructions use "ant" directly and do not know of the gradlew command. In
entityengine.xml information I sometimes see PostgreSQL info which refers to
"org.ofbiz", but this is out of date and is actually "org.apache.ofbiz". The
little things like that are derailing me.
To make a long story short, I have PostgreSQL running on Fedora, and
apache-ofbiz-16.11.01 working with Derby, but need to change to PostgreSQL (and
PostgreSQL is up and running with both my regular user and with "ofbiz/ofbiz"
name/pass), and getting connection refused (I can manually run commands such as
createdb and dropdb without issue). Basically there is some small detail I'm
missing and am wondering if there is current documentation on setting up ofbiz
with PostgreSQL which I'm missing?
I really like this documentation...but unfortunately it is wrong (out of date):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide
This in turn points out a lot of facts through here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Entity+Engine+Configuration+Guide
...but I'm more interested in getting it working and that information appears
to only be for people who already understand ofbiz setup (there are a lot of
facts there and no example which works with 16.11.01). I was under the
impression that if PostgreSQL were set up and the ofbiz name/pass is able to
create tables then the "gradlew loadDefault" would be able to load sample data
into PostgreSQL without manually creating each table. Am I incorrect on this?
Do I need to manually create tables? I can attach my entityengine.xml edits,
but wanted to know first if there are explicit instructions somewhere for the
current 16.11.01 (I am not interested in customization and developing new apps,
I just want to see the minimal sample data using PostgreSQL).
Thanks!
