Hi,

How's everything? Hope still fine.......well, thanks for this tutorial and I think the all those read all this tutorials are very gratefull for a lot help you're giving at this time to Open Source Community...

Well, my question is: Is that possible to install this software (OpenBravo) with MySql + Postfix + PHP + Perl + Apache 2? I took a look on all my stuff and at this time, didn't realize that possibility.

Again, thanks for your help

No, is not possible, If you realize OB is wrote in java, and not php

java supports multiple database via JDBC and further there are numerous ORM abstraction layers like Hibernate and others that automatically handle different database flavors.

According to the custom installation documentation, OpenBravo ERP only supports Oracle & PostgreSQL.

While the OpenBravo POS does in fact support mysql (despite being a java program.)

Database installation

Once Openbravo POS is installed you should decide whether you want to run Openbravo POS on the built-in engine or on any of the other database engines supported. Openbravo POS supports five database engines: Apache Derby, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and HSQLDB.

Thanks for the tutorial - very helpful.

I found that when it came to the point to:

"Open a PostgreSQL shell."

psql -U postgres

it was helpful to change to postgres first.

e.g. su -m postgres

then:
    pgsl -U postgres
    alter ....
    \q

and then back with:

su -

Just a thought anyway.

Best regards, Ian

Your tutorial is perfect .

Up to you, I did not succeed to start tomcat55 and I read many tutorials very sophisticated, with many modifications and additions code files.
After you have all worked perfectly.
Thank you very much!

In order to fix this kind of startup message :

no JDK found - please set JAVA_HOME

Not starting Tomcat : No Java Development kit found

Just do the following :

edit your /etc/default/tomcat5.5 file

and uncomment the value

#JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Of course don't forget to restart your tomcat

Thanks for this tutorial
