Here I am providing an initial setup process and basic configuration options for the OFBiz.
You can get up and running quickly by downloading the OFBiz Complete distribution and following some simple instructions :
A. Tools Installation:
1. Download and install the Java 1.4 or higher (not the JRE, you need the full SDK) from Sun's Java (J2SE) site, and make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to this JDK after installation.
I'd like to install OfBiz at /opt/. I understand both will be using port 80. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (yes not updated).I pre installed my java 6. Can my apache2 ( installation ) & apache OFBIZ run simultaneously. Or there's a way to run OFBIZ under apache2. I hope I make sense. Great help if you can point me to the right direction. Apache OFBiz is an open source, Java based web framework that provides enterprise-wide ERP / CRM platform for businesses that want to manage their customers relationships and employees. OFBiz is very flexible comes with a wide range of modules, including Accounting, Order Management & E-Commerce, Warehousing and Inventory and many more right out of the box. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the protocol used by OFBiz to provide secure communications between browser clients and OFBiz webapps.Through SSL, secure communication sessions are enabled by using public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt messages on a user-by-user basis.

4. Now run'ant run-install' command in the OFBiz home directory (the directory where you installed OFBiz). This will load only the basic “demo” and “seed” data. Seed Data is data that an application requires in order to run. The demo data has additional data setups of your company
C. Running OFBiz:
5. There are various ways to run OFBiz :-
6. Open your web browser and goto,https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/main.This is a secured site notice the (s), https. Since we have not setup the certificate it will give a warning, say YES.

Additional Information :
D. DataBase Setup:
8. By default OFBiz includes and is configured for an embedded Java database called
- If you don't want to use the embedded
- If necessary, put the correct JDBC driver in:
${ofbiz install dir}/framework/entity/lib/jdbc
Ofbiz Manufacturing
- To setup the Entity Engine to use a different database from the default
- Change the 'datasource-name' attribute under the
from the default 'localderby' to 'localmysql' or other database that you want to use. Do not change localderbyodbc. - Look for
further down. - Change the 'jdbc-uri' under 'localmysql' to 'jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/ofbiz?autoReconnect=true'
- Change the 'jdbc-username' to 'ofbiz'
- Change the 'jdbc-password' to the password you chose above
After the database setup, now you need to load data, you can load data by using this initial command: ant run-install
E. OfBiz Configuration:
9.Create and setup a certificate. I am currently not doing it so I can’t explain it now.

- Currency: To set INR as the default currency, use the below setting
Ofbiz Accounting
currency.uom.id.default=INR
