I was wanting to try out Openbravo and tried the Instructions at
http://wiki.contribs.org/OpenbravoHowever i kept on getting an error about the wrong version of ant
and also wanted to test a newer release.
Below are my notes for getting it up and running
on my test server : YMMV
Note it seems to want a fair amount of grunt from server to run it. I'm using a corei5 with 8GB ram. ( initially tried it on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz with 2G Ram and it barfed )
]Installing openbravo 3.0 - community Edition - MP31.1 : (openbravo-3.0MP31.1 ) on SME 8
Step 1 : Install postgres as per SME howto Follow Wiki how to : ==> http://wiki.contribs.org/Postgres
Install only , dont do the configure postgres steps now.
A). NOTE : Open bravo needs postgres version > 8.1.23
follow step 2
Step 2 : Upgrade Postgres to Version 8.4.19
A) . create yum repo for upgrading postgres ( refer : http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,47374.msg238234.html#msg238234 )

Step 3 : Check Postgres Encoding for Openbravo
Initialise the database first :
/etc/init.d/postgresql initdb
[root@bravo db]# /etc/init.d/postgresql initdb
Initializing database: [ OK ]
Start Postgres :
[root@bravo db]# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
Check postgres encoding :
su postgres
bash-3.2$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collation | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+-----------+-------+-----------------------
postgres | postgres | LATIN1 | en_US | en_US |
template0 | postgres | LATIN1 | en_US | en_US | =c/postgres
: postgres=CTc/postgres
template1 | postgres | LATIN1 | en_US | en_US | =c/postgres
: postgres=CTc/postgres
(3 rows)
NOTE : We need the Encoding and Collation to be as follows for Openbravo :
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collation | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+------------+------------+-------------------
openbravo | tad | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
Change Encoding & Collation on Postgres : template0
postgres=# update pg_database set datistemplate=false where datname='template1';
UPDATE 1
postgres=# drop database template1;
DROP DATABASE
postgres=# create database template1 with owner=postgres encoding='UTF-8'
postgres-#
postgres-# lc_collate='en_US.utf8' lc_ctype='en_US.utf8' template template0;
CREATE DATABASE
Change Encoding & Collation on Postgres : template1
postgres=# update pg_database set datistemplate=false where datname='template0';
UPDATE 1
postgres=# drop database template0;
DROP DATABASE
postgres=# create database template0 with owner=postgres encoding='UTF-8' lc_collate='en_US.utf8' lc_ctype='en_US.utf8' template template1;
CREATE DATABASE
Change Encoding & Collation on Postgres : postgres
bash-3.2$ psql -U postgres template1
template1=#
template1=# update pg_database set datistemplate=false where datname='postgres';
UPDATE 1
template1=# drop database postgres;
DROP DATABASE
template1=# create database postgres with owner=postgres encoding='UTF-8' lc_collate='en_US.utf8' lc_ctype='en_US.utf8' template template1;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# \q
Check Database Encoding :
bash-3.2$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collation | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+------------+------------+-------------------
postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.utf8 | en_US.utf8 |
(3 rows)
Step 4 : Configure postgres as per wiki
Start postgres ( if not already started )
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
Then make the necessary custom templates:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data
Now login as postgres user:
su postgres
Then access to superuser database, set a password and exit.
psql -U postgres -d template1
alter user postgres with encrypted password 'add_your_pass_here';
\q
exit
Edit the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf remove # and change the following settings:
superuser_reserved_connections=2
ssl = on
password_encryption = on
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
Then copy your server SSL keys and Crt files:
find your sme server keys :
# find ./ -depth -name "yourFQDN.crt" -print
/home/e-smith/ssl.crt/yourFQDN.crt
# find ./ -depth -name "yourFQDN.key" -print
/home/e-smith/ssl.crt/yourFQDN.key
cd cd /var/lib/pgsql/data
cp /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/yourFQDN.crt .
cp /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/yourFQDN.key
mv yourFQDN.crt server.crt
mv yourFQDN.key server.key
chmod 400 server.key
chown postgres:postgres server*
Edit the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf and change the following settings:
local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all ::1/128 md5
and add at the end:
host all all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 reject
Be sure to add an extra white line at the end.That why you got an extra line on above box!
Expand template:
expand-template /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
expand-template /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
Restart with new settings:
/etc/init.d/postgresql stop
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
and add the symlinks to start automatically:
ln -s /etc/init.d/postgresql /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S56postgresql
ln -s /etc/init.d/postgresql /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03postgresql
To ensure everything is all right:
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot
Step 5: Install Tomcat as per wiki ( http://wiki.contribs.org/Tomcat )
Adjust as necessary for the version of java installed. ( i used ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_51 /usr/java/jdk )
Download tomcat last version :
( apache-tomcat-6.0.39.tar.gz )
Unpack archive
Unzip and move it
tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.39.tar.gz
mv apache-tomcat-6.0.39 /opt/
cd /opt
mv apache-tomcat-6.0.39 tomcat
Create user and group
groupadd tomcat
useradd -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat/
chmod 770 /opt/tomcat/
Create statup script
Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat with your favorite text editor, it should contain the following :
#! /bin/bash
#
# tomcat Start the tomcat server.
#
NAME="Jakarta Tomcat 6"
TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=iso8859-1"
TOMCAT_USER=tomcat
LC_ALL=en_US
export TOMCAT_HOME CATALINA_HOME JAVA_HOME CATALINA_OPTS TOMCAT_USER LC_ALL
cd $TOMCAT_HOME/logs
case "$1" in
start)
echo -ne "Starting $NAME.\n"
/bin/su $TOMCAT_USER $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
;;
stop)
echo -ne "Stopping $NAME.\n"
/bin/su $TOMCAT_USER $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/tomcat {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Make startup script runable and make tomcat start automatically at boot
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S98tomcat
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K02tomcat
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02tomcat
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K02tomcat
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K02tomcat
Optional ??: Enable manager access to tomcat manager
cd /opt/tomcat/conf
nano tomcat-users.xml
Add lines needed :
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="xxxxxxxxxxxx" roles="manager-gui,tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
Save file.
Start Tomcat : and check access ( http://server_ip:8080/ )
/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat
Step 6 : Download and configure Open bravo components :
Ant Down load and setup :
download apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
tar xzvf apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
cp -rf apache-ant-1.9.3 /usr/local/ant
Download Open Bravo ( openbravo-3.0MP31.1.tar.bz2 )
extract tar -xvf openbravo-3.0MP31.1.tar.bz2
cd Openbravo-3.0MP31.1
chown -R root:root *
