Hi Dominic, welcome to the OFBiz community!
If you think there is a bug, please file a Jira issue in our bug tracking system, describing the exact steps and possibly provide screenshots to be able to validate the problem.

Yes, I did stumble upon that documentation eventually. It seems (as usual) that google is a better way to search than a site's own index/search. I think the main problem I encountered (re: docs) is that there appear to be 3 sets of documentation out there, with things pertaining to different aspects being best served in different places. Ultimately I did figure out everything about the install (Java 8 on debian 10, mariadb, SSL with Lets Encrypt, Apache proxying, direct serving static content). However a bug in OFBiz itself is preventing me from actually using it for accounting. It is impossible to enter postal addresses in a clean install of 17.12.04, due to pull down for province/state not working. I need a work-around for this. The state date is being imported from the XML, it is in the database. Is there a specific release where this does work?

ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ I let you figure the rest out We should really update the Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide This looks like you expect us to proxy the ofbiz server - am I correct? You referred to https://markmail.org/message/3uf5axg2xzvlxuh5 which is a thread about "a test deployment (on a given domain)", so yes! There is also a lack of documentation on how to achieve this. I am setting this up myself, and documenting as I go (because the available docs are fragmented, out of date and incomplete). I would be happy to submit working setup documentation for your consideration (once I can get SSL configured)? The setup I am documenting is debian based, and includes exactly how one has to setup Java 8 (which is not in mainline repos), how to configure for mariadb, leave out the demo data (but have the admin login available), launch (and stop) the server using systemd, how to replace the certs for working SSL (presumably with apache2 reverse proxy). How (with which tools) do you intend to document that? We now preferably use AsciiDoc and the documentation is generated at https://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/site/trunk/ This is not yet official, but it's the more up to date way. You can find more info into documentation_guidelines.adoc in docs\asciidoc (not generated yet, I just spotted, but you can read it as simple text anyway) You even have a CONTRIBUTING.adoc file in your local copy.
