ofbizsetup doc?

[Pierce Wetter]

 So I've hunted, searched, googled.

 Is there a short happy guide to what you have to do to use ofbizsetup?

 i.e.

  1. Checkout ofbiz from svn
  2. ant run-install-seed
  3. ant create-admin-user-login
  4. ./startofbiz.sh

 The reason I'm asking, is because I'm getting stuck on the step where you create the store, because I get a foreign key error about shipping methods.

Argh... I wanted to direct you to the online help (help link in demo trunk) where I know Hans put some directions for the Setup
compoment. But it currently does not work on trunk. Then, I thought I may use the stable version, but it does not have the Setup
component (because it' s a new feature) and also then bugs again in the wiki from the online help there :/

Sorry, looks like we need an effort and there are not much availability from commiters... You will have to wait, or help yourself...

You may have a look into the docbook files in the source... Look for setup there...

Thanks Anil,

But this is not what I was thinking about: the Setup Component (visible only if you have not loaded demo data but seed).
It's a fine wizard for simple cases and actually in any cases to begin...

OK, Scott has just fixed it. I reloaded the trunk demo. So look for OFBiz setup in the online help...

 There's a chicken and an egg problem with the ofbizsetup, which is that you have to be able to run ofbiz in order to read the help.

  So here's my version of how to bootstrap:

1. Checkout ofbiz from svn
 2. ant run-install-seed
 3. ant create-admin-user-login
 4. ./startofbiz.sh
 5. Go to http://localhost:8080/ofbizsetup
 6. Login. You'll be prompted to save your password.
 7. Click on the ? in the top menu, it will show you help for each section as you go through it.

Just FYI: I heard recently (radio in France) that the chicken and an egg problem has been scientifically resolved.
Actually I just found on the net that this is old news http://edition.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/05/26/chicken.egg/
And finally still in debate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg

Ha, here is the last new I heard from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/researchers_apply_computing/
But still debated http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/chickens_eggs_this_is_no_way_t.php

I also learned, and that's more important to me, that chicken comes from India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_junglefowl

Sorry, I could't resist

One way to break the cycle in the Setup case is to use the trunk demo ;o)

Ok I solved your chicken and egg problem by repairing the html doc
generation on the demo server.

The setup document can be found at:
http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML#N20080

 Cool, thanks. :-)


  I don't suppose you also fixed the problem with the ext data not loading into ofbiz, so ofbizsetup gets stuck? I think I mentioned it in the thread, but I haven't filed an issue about it yet.
