Thanks Patel for trying to help me out. I have gone through the links already that you gave me. Thing is, I already installed JRE6, full SDK, and tomcat, SVN, ANT etc. These were installed in root by default.
I created folder /home/ofbiz. So, there is nothing inside ...home/ofbiz$
I performed svn co http://svn.apache......
Even I tried svn co http://................../ofbiz9+ and svn co http://......../ofbiz4.0

So, how could I download ofbiz or even extract it, I don't know. Even, from where to download it?
Some google sites say, to download ofbiz separately and extract it to /home/ofbiz user. Somewhere (http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Demo+and+Test+Setup+Guide) it's shown that, "OFBiz with embedded Tomcat".
I can't find any exact solution. I am yet confused what should I type @ the terminal for installing Ofbiz from the beginning.
Waiting for any suitable reply.
Thank you.

Here are the steps that I use.

1) create directory to check out OfBiz to (~/sandbox)
2) cd to ~/sandbox
3) the following command will check out the ofbiz trunk in the current  
directory and put it in a folder called ofbiz:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk ofbiz
4) once it is all done checking out, cd to ~/sandbox/ofbiz
5) The following command will use ant to build the ofbiz project and  
load in the demo data so that you have a fully functioning instance:
ant clean-all run-install (the clean-all is not necessary but is a  
nice command to wipe out any changes and bring back a fresh 'factory'  
instance)
6) once the instance is done building run the following command to  
start up the instance.
java -Xmx512M  -jar ofbiz.jar;
7) This can be the confusing part for the first time you run ofbiz.  
The terminal is showing what the instance is doing so it will never  
just say "ofbiz is ready!" Instead you will know everything is up and  
running when you see something like this in the terminal:

2009-10-02 14:42:44,343 (main) [  CatalinaContainer.java:240:INFO ]  
Started Apache Tomcat/6.0.16
Httpd started on port: 9989
Sessiond started on port: 9990
2009-10-02 14:42:44,444 (main) [ BeanShellContainer.java:100:INFO ]  
Started BeanShell telnet service on 9989, 9990
2009-10-02 14:42:44,444 (main) [ BeanShellContainer.java:101:INFO ]  
NOTICE: BeanShell service ports are not secure. Please protect the ports

8) Now in your browser type the following to get the demo ecommerce  
site:
localhost:8080/ecommerce

9) you can also access the backend applications here using the  
username/password combo of admin/ofbiz
localhost:8080/catalog
localhost:8080/partymgr
localhost:8080/webtools

or generally
localhost:8080/'appname'


Thanks,

Hello MavrickIT:
IMHO, take baby steps: Start by downloading a "zip'd" version from the
wiki, http://build.ofbiz.org and not the Subversion (SVN) package.  The
instructions regarding which download is appropriate given your
situation are confusing at best. I prefer to keep it simple when getting
started. A little excerpt from my recent book:

    Currently, if you visit the OFBiz site and decide to download a
    version,
    you have several options. The easiest thing to do is follow the big
    download button and get the "nightly build". This is a prepackaged
    version
    ready to unzip and run. Nightly builds contain everything necessary to
    execute the demonstrations discussed in this book. They also contain
    all
    the source code and other artifacts including build scripts that are
    used to
    create the nightly builds. In other words, you get "all that and the
    source
    too"!

You won't need Tomcat, SVN or Ant to download a nightly build and get up
and running quickly. Simply, create the directory you wish to run OFBiz
in (make sure that Java is on the classpath while working in this
directory), change to that directory, unzip your file there and startup
OFBiz. For example:

1) Create a directory such as /home/ofbiz
2) Download the zip file to your new directory. You will have something
that looks like this: /home/ofbiz/ofbizdownload.zip
3) Unzip your file using something like gzip (Not sure what the Ubuntu
unzip command is.)
4) Move to the unzipped file location doing something like: cd  
/home/ofbiz/ofbizdownload
4) Run the Unix OFBiz invocation script that comes with the
distribution: ./startofbiz.sh
5) Navigate to the ecommerce startup page http://localhost:8080/ecommerce
6) Observe that you see the ecommerce landing page

Once you understand what you've got out-of-the-box and you are ready to
do some development work, then consider downloading from SVN.

Hey Hoffman,
Thanks for the solid solution. But I am stuck in again.
$wget http://build.ofbiz.org/ofbiz-trunk-current.zip or
$wget http://build.ofbiz.org/ofbiz-rel9.04-current.zip
typing those commands ofbiz.zip is not downloaded anyway.
so, have no idea of downloading it. What should be the command exactly. even I tried lw-download something like this. Not working.
I find an error 404 not found. like the page cannot be found in any browser we see. 404 error means the same.
So.. please help me.
Thanks

Hi MavrickIT:
How about not using "wget" and use the download button from the Wiki. As
for version, I suggest the one pointed to by the download button. Beyond
that, I can't help you.

Ruth

MavrickIT,
I'll put together a note on how to download and build OFBiz on an
existing ubuntu server if that would work for you.

Hi MavrickIT:
How about not using "wget" and use the download button from the Wiki. As

for version, I suggest the one pointed to by the download button. Beyond

that, I can't help you.

Hey Dan,
Would be great if you could do so.

Thanks Ruth,
Your procedure works.
But, when I start it ./startofbiz.sh screen is flooded and flooded.
It's shown at bottom -> Not committing transaction, status is No transaction (6)
and does it take longer to be started ? It's more than 5 mins, still the screen is flooded and yet not started the ofbiz.
I created $/home/ofbiz
Downloaded ofbiz into /home/ofbiz$
Extracted it into /home/ofbiz/ofbiz$
I found---> /home/ofbiz/ofbiz/ofbiz-trunk$dir
..... ..... .... startofbiz.sh .... .... ....
..... ..... ... ...... .....
I started it as /home/ofbiz/ofbiz/ofbiz-trunk$./startofbiz.sh

there it goes. Screen flood.
Got stuck in here.
Any solution?
I already have JRE6 (full sdk installed), SVN, tomcat, ANT installed
Thanks

Hello MavrickIT:
IMHO, take baby steps: Start by downloading a "zip'd" version from the
wiki, http://build.ofbiz.org and not the Subversion (SVN) package.  The
instructions regarding which download is appropriate given your
situation are confusing at best. I prefer to keep it simple when getting
started. A little excerpt from my recent book:

    Currently, if you visit the OFBiz site and decide to download a
    version,
    you have several options. The easiest thing to do is follow the big
    download button and get the "nightly build". This is a prepackaged
    version
    ready to unzip and run. Nightly builds contain everything necessary to
    execute the demonstrations discussed in this book. They also contain
    all
    the source code and other artifacts including build scripts that are
    used to
    create the nightly builds. In other words, you get "all that and the
    source
    too"!

You won't need Tomcat, SVN or Ant to download a nightly build and get up
and running quickly. Simply, create the directory you wish to run OFBiz
in (make sure that Java is on the classpath while working in this
directory), change to that directory, unzip your file there and startup
OFBiz. For example:

1) Create a directory such as /home/ofbiz
2) Download the zip file to your new directory. You will have something
that looks like this: /home/ofbiz/ofbizdownload.zip
3) Unzip your file using something like gzip (Not sure what the Ubuntu
unzip command is.)
4) Move to the unzipped file location doing something like: cd  
/home/ofbiz/ofbizdownload
4) Run the Unix OFBiz invocation script that comes with the
distribution: ./startofbiz.sh
5) Navigate to the ecommerce startup page http://localhost:8080/ecommerce
6) Observe that you see the ecommerce landing page

Once you understand what you've got out-of-the-box and you are ready to
do some development work, then consider downloading from SVN.

MavrickIT,
Following the "flood"  what the last couple of lines on the screen?
Did you try to access by pointing your browser to

MavrickIT,
Following the "flood"  what the last couple of lines on the screen?
Did you try to access by pointing your browser to

Thanks Ruth,
Your procedure works.
But, when I start it ./startofbiz.sh screen is flooded and flooded.
It's shown at bottom -> Not committing transaction, status is No
transaction
(6)
and does it take longer to be started ? It's more than 5 mins, still the
screen is flooded and yet not started the ofbiz.
I created $/home/ofbiz
Downloaded ofbiz into /home/ofbiz$
Extracted it into /home/ofbiz/ofbiz$
I found---> /home/ofbiz/ofbiz/ofbiz-trunk$dir
..... ..... .... startofbiz.sh .... .... ....
..... ..... ... ...... .....
I started it as /home/ofbiz/ofbiz/ofbiz-trunk$./startofbiz.sh

there it goes. Screen flood.
Got stuck in here.
Any solution?
I already have JRE6 (full sdk installed), SVN, tomcat, ANT installed
Thanks

Dan,
Firstly, thanks for your cooperation.
I can't even ./startofbiz.sh
So, browser simply says -> the page cannot be found.
I didn't configure the ofbiz yet.
Installation part is done. Configuration part is left.
Moreover, doing ./startofbiz.sh ,
............ (default-invoker-Thread-9) [ServiceDespatcher.java:593:info] Sync service [JobDispatcher/sendEmailDated] finished in [152] milliseconds
"empty"
"empty"
"empty"
It's stuck in here. It's kinda like hanged. It's just stuck in. I did cancel Ctrl+C it and did ./startofbiz.sh again. and still the same.

So, there I go.
What to do now.. ?  :-(
Thanks

[Dan Dodd]

mavrickiT,

 

that sounds like an ubuntu issue and you can get great help just by
searching the ubuntu forums.  Connections do time out, just re connect.
If you built the server / desktop you can always do it again, faster I'm
sure

 

Learning ubuntu and OFbiz at the same time is hard work, esp if you are
not familiar with the basics. Is there anyone at your job that knows
ubuntu and OFBiz?

 

 

Dan,

Forgot to tell you that, i cannt even access my server remotely.

Now it's kinda freaking me out. Don't know what's happening, network
connection timed out ------ while accessing through a remote terminal.

Please help me

thanks

 

 

Dan Dodd
