Hi All,
I've just install ofbiz version 16.11.04 on a Centos 7 server. Everything seems
to go very well and I was able to start the ofBiz web interface successfully,
log in and navigate around.
However, after I rebooted the server, I could not log in any longer. I
suspected that it was a Java issue so I experimented with different Java
versions and setups. I first built the server with and without JRE and the
installation with just JDK seemed to be adequate. I then tried Java 8.131, Java
8.171 and Java 10.01. The first two worked as I described above (failing after
a reboot) but Java version 10.01 failed during the install with a permissions
problem while running the following step:
./gradlew cleanAll loadDefault
I'm sure I must be making a stupid mistake somewhere during the installation so
would someone please look at the installations steps that I took to see where I
went wrong?
Here are the steps:
Step 1 - Install Java
yum install -y jdk-8u131-linux-x64.rpm
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_131
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_131/bin
Check Java JDK Version:
java -version
Step 2 - Load environmental variables on startup
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_131' >> /etc/bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_131/bin' >> /etc/bashrc
Step 3 - Open port on firewall
firewall-cmd - -zone=public - -add-port=8443/tcp - -permanent
firewall-cmd - -reload
Step 4 - Setup ofBiz
unzip apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip
mv apache-ofbiz-16.11.04 /usr/local/ofbiz
Step 5 - Install ofBiz
cd /usr/local/ofbiz
./gradlew cleanAll loadDefault
./gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed"
./gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed,seed-initial,ext"
Step 6 - Start ofBiz
./gradlew ofbizBackground
Step 7 - Access ofBiz in browser
URL: https://<my IP>:8443/myportal/control/main
Admin Username: admin
Admin Password: ofbiz
Additional notes:
after I reboot and can't restart the web interface, if I run ./gradlew "ofbiz
--status" , it reports that obBiz is running OK
I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong so any tips and suggestions will be
very much appreciated
Regards,
