Thanks for sharing this thread — I completely understand how frustrating it can be when installation doesn't go as smoothly as expected. OFBiz is a powerful platform, but getting it set up (especially on older systems like Ubuntu 14.04 or certain versions of Windows) can definitely come with its challenges if the environment isn’t fully aligned.

If you’re still troubleshooting or just need a break after wrestling with setup, I’d suggest taking a breather with a little humor. https://allfunnyjokes.com/ has a great collection of light-hearted content — everything from clever puns to tech-leaning funny dad jokes. Sometimes a quick laugh really helps reset your mindset. 😅

And on a practical note, if you're still running into issues, subscribing to the OFBiz mailing list is a smart move. The community is knowledgeable and usually pretty quick to help out.

Hope things smooth out soon!

Sounds like a rough setup experience—frustrating for sure! Tech can be like that sometimes: one moment it’s a powerful tool, the next it’s making you question your life choices 😅. Reading this reminded me how we all sometimes just need a break and a good laugh—whether it's venting about OFBIZ or telling a few kids jokes to lighten the mood. (Honestly, even a “Why did the computer go to art school? Because it had a lot of bytes!” can help!) Hope your install finally worked out!
