Ofbiz Setup and Hosting
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I have been exploring ofbiz am in the process of deciding whether to deploy it or not. I intend to setup two stores. I got a few questions regarding ofbiz setup and hosting 1. I was wondering if there are any indications (document or experienced usage) on what the hosting requirements would be for such a small project, e.g. Size of MySql DB, hosting space? 2. When deciding a hosting service, do I need them to provide tomcat or the tomcat that comes with ofbiz is sufficient or do I just need hosting space and java? 3. I guess what am asking is, what should be looking out for in a hosting service to enable me run ofbiz? Cheers |

dedicated hosting can be had for 80-$100.
if they will put unbuntu or centos 5 on the server you are ready just did both. Just use SVN commands to install ofbiz. you can compile and run in less than 15 min OOTB. if plan running a desktop as well as ofbiz suggest atleast 2gigs of memory. also you can get support for a higher price if you just want to be a user, and let them do all the work. Contegix, that host the ofbiz demo servers, is one such host. vizu'a pipo sent the following on 5/12/2009 9:16 AM: > Hi, > > I have been exploring ofbiz am in the process of deciding whether to deploy > it or not.

Having 2GB of RAM is actually excessive for smaller deployments (ie if you don't have a lot of traffic/users/etc). A pretty safe minimum is about 512MB, and that takes into account the OS overhead (usually around 1/3 of memory). -David On May 12, 2009, at 4:08 PM, BJ Freeman wrote: > dedicated hosting can be had for 80-$100. > if they will put unbuntu or centos 5 on the server you are ready > just did both. > Just use SVN commands to install ofbiz. > you can compile and run in less than 15 min OOTB. > if plan running a desktop as well as ofbiz suggest atleast 2gigs of > memory. > also you can get support for a higher price if you just want to be a > user, and let them do all the work.

David in he Deployments I just id i have them set at 512, however if I
look at the processes running the memory usage show 600+ megs. the caution is if you are running other things like a desktop that takes another 100-200mb. that puts it close to the limit when Cron jobs run. if you just run the ofbiz server only with out other processed, like webmin, and Desktop with VNC then you correct.

Yes, thanks BJ, that's an important distinction. -David On May 12, 2009, at 5:49 PM, BJ Freeman wrote: > David in he Deployments I just id i have them set at 512, however if I > look at the processes running the memory usage show 600+ megs. > the caution is if you are running other things like a desktop that > takes > another 100-200mb. that puts it close to the limit when Cron jobs run. > > if you just run the ofbiz server only with out other processed, like > webmin, and Desktop with VNC then you correct. > > David E Jones sent the following on 5/12/2009 4:01 PM: >> >> Having 2GB of RAM is actually excessive for smaller deployments (ie >> if >> you don't have a lot of traffic/users/etc). >> >> A pretty safe minimum is about 512MB, and that takes into account >> the OS >> overhead (usually around 1/3 of memory). >> >> -David >> >> >> On May 12, 2009, at 4:08 PM, BJ Freeman wrote: >> >>> dedicated hosting can be had for 80-$100. >>> if they will put unbuntu or centos 5 on the server you are ready >>> just did both. >>> Just use SVN commands to install ofbiz. >>> you can compile and run in less than 15 min OOTB. >>> if plan running a desktop as well as ofbiz suggest atleast 2gigs of >>> memory. >>> also you can get support for a higher price if you just want to be a >>> user, and let them do all the work.

Running a 'small' linux server through amazon web services is quite affordable.
