Help me with writing Step-By-Step installation instructions for Ubuntu 10.04

[jtrinidad]

I was wondering if I'm the only one experiencing download error.

tar -xvzf activemq-19032012-Linux.tgz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

[Sean O'Neil]

Are you still having this error? If so, I noticed today that the archives are no longer zipped. So just drop the "z" from your tar command and change the archive filenames to be just tar. Like so:
tar -xvf activemq-19032012-Linux.tar

Alright, it's my step-by-step instructions so far, that work for me.

_smartpos install on ubuntu 10.04 64bit_

_references:_
files: http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/
http://www.dctrwatson.com/2010/09/installing-postgresql-9-0-on-ubuntu-10-04/
http://www.adempiere.com/Installing_ADempiere_3.7.0_on_Ubuntu_11.04

_start install_
on my KVM server, i assign an LVM partition big enough for testing, 10GB should be fine
and then i run:
sudo virt-install  --name=smartpos --ram=4192 --vcpus=4 --cpuset=0-3 --os-variant=ubuntulucid --cdrom=ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso --disk      path=/dev/cleopatra/smartpos --network=bridge=br0,model=virtio --vnc

_during the OS install_

usename/password: adempiere/adempiere
hostname: smartpos
select ssh server during the install

_After initial install_
At first bootup login as adempiere/adempiere and run:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

_install and config postgres 9_

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.0 libpq-dev

sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.0/main/pg_hba.conf
at the bottom mine looks like this:

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local   all             postgres                                trust

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            CIDR-ADDRESS            METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
host    all             all             192.168.2.0/24          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

sudo vim /etc/postgresql/9.0/main/postgresql.conf
i set:
listen_addresses = '*'
password_encryption = on

now restart postgres:
sudo service postgresql restart

_From Pedro's instructions_
Create a folder called: /app/java (please don't change it)
we will use this location for your JDK, adempiere and activemq demo installation

_change ownership of /app/java folder_
sudo chown -R adempiere:adempiere /app

Uncompress all the .tgz files provided.zip under: /app/java
wget http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/activemq-19032012-Linux.tgz
wget http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/jdk16-021-19032012-Linux.tgz
wget http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/smarterp-19032012-PG90-Linux.tgz
wget http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/smarterp-demo-rest-19032012.backup
wget http://smartjsp.com/smartpos-demo/smartpos-demo-rest-19032012.backup

tar -xvzf ./smarterp-19032012-PG90-Linux.tgz
tar -xvzf ./activemq-19032012-Linux.tgz
tar -xvzf ./jdk16-021-19032012-Linux.tgz

set your JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to: /app/java/jdk1.6.0_21 and restart
your terminal session to take the environment change.

sudo vim /etc/environment
add: 
JAVA_HOME="/app/java/jdk1.6.0_21"

and tack on at the end of your path, after the last path and before the end-quote:
:/app/java/jdk1.6.0_21/bin

So that your environment looks something like this:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/app/java/jdk1.6.0_21/bin"
JAVA_HOME="/app/java/jdk1.6.0_21"

I reboot machine at this point to load the variables, i'm sure there is a better way

_load 32bit executables_
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

_define your /etc/hosts file_
at the end of the IP4 section of your hosts file tack this on (with your own appropriate IP address of the host!!):
192.168.2.105   adempiere   adempiere2

mine looks like this:
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   smartpos.casanueva.com  smartpos

192.168.2.105   adempiere   adempiere2

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

_create databases and user_
sudo -i
su postgres
psql

CREATE ROLE adempiere LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md5e39d02ba00f8344d92323e6b8ffe612f' SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE;
CREATE DATABASE smarterp OWNER adempiere;
CREATE DATABASE smartpos OWNER postgres;
\q

pg_restore -d smarterp /app/java/smarterp-demo-rest-19032012.backup
pg_restore -d smartpos /app/java/smartpos-demo-rest-19032012.backup

exit from postgres user, and exit root, so back to being 'adempiere' user

run:
/app/java/SmartERP/sube

magic should happen.  wait a few minutes until it says your the JBoss engine is running

Test your ActiveMQ @ http://smartpos:8161/admin/
Test your Adempiere @ http://smartpos:8086/webui

Now to get the client up and running :)

Hello everyone.
I need your help, I am desperate. I spent this weekend trying to get smartpos demo to work with only a couple of hours of sleep a day, but no success. Before trying, I read everything I could find in this forum and other relative forums like Redhuan's (that is how I landed here) as well. I have even read „Adempiere Cookbook“ again.
I must make clear, I am quite fit with linux, I understand ERP and POS quite well, but I have practically no programming experience.

I followed the instructions in this topic to the letter, I even experimented a little bit with the „host“ file. I also googled every error in the log files I could.
At the end I was so exhausted that I gave up.
Therefore I kindly and most humbly ask for your help.

For my tests I used every time a fresh setup of ubuntu-servers in Virtualbox on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I startet with images of Ubuntu 12.04, then 11.04 and finally 10.04 servers, both 32 bit as well as 64bit.

The only deviation from your instructions here was that I had to use

smarterp-demo-rest-16042012.backup
smartpos-demo-rest-16042012.backup

instead of the smart*-demo-rest-19032012.backup versions since these are no longer available for download and of course postgresql-9.1.
I personally suspect my problem is here to find or at my locale since I am in Austria and use German/Austrian setups and locale.

When I check ActiveMQ @ http://localhost:8161/admin/ or
http://192.168.0.196:8161/admin/ from another local host, everything works great, but...

when I check Adempiere @ http://localhost:8086/webui or
http://192.168.0.196::8086/webui

I get a lot of errors in the terminal where I start „/app/java/SmartERP/sube „ as well as in my logs.

It seems I cannot get a DB-connection. Unfortenately I cannot resolve the problem myself.
So please help me with this one.

I attache the logs and the host file from my last attempts on a 10.04 64bit Ubuntu-server.

I am looking desperately hearing from you people.
Best thanks and Regards in advance

Hi, kind you share with me that how you fixed the issue. Because I am facing the same issue as When I check ActiveMQ @ http://localhost:8161/admin/ or
http://192.168.0.196:8161/admin/ so it working fine and don't show any kind of issue but when I check http://192.168.0.196::8086/- gta vice city apk so I face bundles of issue and even though it not loading.

[pedrorozo]

Hi ... your log is quite descriptive,

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: adempiere

Which means you are trying to reach a host called: adempiere, that doesn´t exists; perhaps defined in your adempiereEnv.properties, then if you want to point this host to your ip address please create a new host definition in your /ect/hosts or change the adempiere config to point to the rigth server

Regards,

Pedro Rozo

Hello Pedro.

Thank you for your fast response.

I just made another test. This time I used a host file just like Andy Graybeal suggested, at the same time I defined my servers IP to 192.168.0.169 because some file demanded so.
This time I got some progress I think.
I attach the new logfiles and host-file.

When I try http://localhost:8086/webui/ or http://smartpos:8086/webui/ I get an error but when I try http://192.168.0.169:8086/webui/ I get the SmartERP login mask.

Could you please have a look at my new log files and make suggestions to make everything run as it should? I would be grateful as I am for the great job you and your team did with SmartPOS and SmartERP.

By the way, you twittered that you are going to release a new version shortly. Do you have a date in the meanwhile?

Thank you again

[pedrorozo]

You adempiere logs shows that the ERP is up , running, and listening (connected) to the activemq queue called: ERP1000003 ----- did you get access to the SmartERP screen or not ? your description is not clear ...

Regarding our next release, we are finishing testing and documentation, so I guessti will be available by the end of this week ....

Regards,

Pedro R

[Ulli_H]

Thank you Pedro. I will be waiting impatiently for the new release ;-)
In the meanwhile I got everything running. I suppose I can ignore some errors I found.

I will take a rest now and then I will try to reinstall everything on a 12.04 server just to make sure I can reproduce a fresh install and then I will test as much as possible the communication between the windows POS and the ERP.

I hope you will include a linux POS in the new release. I am sure many of us will be very happy about that.
