Ashish, Thank you for your prompt response Ashish. I checked the links provided & I must say, that is a LOT of manual input prior to actually installing.
Initially with Ofbiz, I followed the setup process for installing without any demo data & then changing over to Postgres for the database. That process went good, but the manual setup was challenging without knowing the items that need to be configured to ensure proper operation between all the modules. (There are so many different tabs). I found several writings within the Ofbiz user documentation as well as some other writings from internet sources for the configuration process, but all seemed to jump around a lot & did not seem to be fully definitive. I never really arrived at a place I felt comfortable with in the Ofbiz configuration so I resorted to using ./gradlew cleanAll loadAll which led me to my original inquiry. Can you recommend any documents or publications that detail the correct way to configure Ofbiz when it is installed with no demo data? *************************************** > Hello Jon, > Please read the README.adoc file of Apache OFBiz project.
