Getting started: Demo and Test Setup

velcro
Hello!

I just started trying to install OFBiz on my ubuntu machine, and I'm running into problems following the steps in the Demo and Test Setup guide. I made sure that I have java 1.7 (the jdk), and that it's in my PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables. I can launch ./startofbiz.sh, but when I try to open something like http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/, I get a long and terrible error message, the title of which is "HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not get next sequenced ID for sequence name: Visit".

I'm not finding any information online about how to solve this problem, but the footer says "The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.42 logs." I'd be more than happy to share that as well, if it'd be helpful?

I'm really not a java person, so this is sort of a crazy error message to start on!

Thanks!

Which version are you trying to install? I think the trunk got buggered because that same error message is showing up on the demo sites.  

http://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/main

Not sure what's going on there, but try with a stable version like 12.04.
