This document describes how to set up Openbravo ERP (enterprise management system) on Debian Etch. Taken from the Openbravo page: "Openbravo is an open source ERP solution designed specifically for the SME (small to midsize firm). Developed in a web based environment, it includes many robust functionalities which are considered part of the extended ERP: procurement and warehouse management, project and service management, production management, and financial management."
I can't list all the features here - please have a look at http://www.openbravo.com/product/product-features/.
This howto is a practical guide without any warranty - it doesn't cover the theoretical backgrounds. There are many ways to set up such a system - this is the way I chose.
1 Preparation
1.1 Debian Backports
This repository provides Sun's JDK that we need for this setup.
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines.
# Debian Backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
Afterwards refresh apt ...
apt-get update
... and import the gpg-key.
apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
1.2 Needed Packages
Now let's install and configure the needed packages.
1.2.1 PostgreSQL
Install it via:
apt-get install postgresql-8.2
Afterwards we have to set the PostgreSQL admin password.
sed -i 's/ident sameuser$/trust/' /etc/postgresql/8.2/main/pg_hba.conf
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 restart
Open a PostgreSQL shell.
psql -U postgres
alter role postgres with password '%new_PostgreSQL_admin_passowrd%';
\q
sed -i 's/trust$/md5/' /etc/postgresql/8.2/main/pg_hba.conf
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 reload
1.2.2 Java JDK
Install it via:
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Afterwards make it systemwide available.
update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
echo 'JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"' | tee -a /etc/environment
After that log out and in again to take the changes effect.
1.2.3 Apache Tomcat
Install it via:
apt-get install tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps
Afterwards we have to configure it.
rm /var/log/tomcat5.5/catalina.out
vi /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5
Change:
TOMCAT5_SECURITY=yes
To:
TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no
Restart Tomcat.
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
Now let's look if all went well.
netstat -tap | grep java
Tomcat should be listening on port 8180.
tcp6 0 0 *:8180 *:* LISTEN 3571/java
As a last resort make it systemwide available.
echo 'CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5.5"' | tee -a /etc/environment
echo 'CATALINA_BASE="/var/lib/tomcat5.5"' | tee -a /etc/environment
echo 'CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xms384M -Xmx512M"' | tee -a /etc/environment
After that log out and in again to take the changes effect.
1.2.4 Apache Ant
Apache ant has already been installed as dependency at the step before - so only the configuration is left.
echo 'ANT_HOME="/usr/share/ant"' | tee -a /etc/environment
After that log out and in again to take the changes effect.
2 Openbravo
2.1 Get It
Please have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/openbravo/ to find out which is the latest version. When I was writing this howto it was version 2.35mp1.
cd /tmp/
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/openbravo/OpenbravoERP-2.35-MP1-linux-installer.bin
chmod +x OpenbravoERP-2.35-MP1-linux-installer.bin
2.2 Installation
A text based installer will guide you through the installation.
./OpenbravoERP-2.35-MP1-linux-installer.bin
First press a few times "Enter" to read the single parts of the license agreement. Type in "yes" at the end if you agree with it.
Before the installation begins you'll be asked a few questions - answer them as follows.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (/opt/OpenbravoERP) when you're asked for the installation directory.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (/opt/OpenbravoERP/AppsOpenbravo/attach) when you're asked for the attachments directory.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (Full (standard) installation) when you're asked for the installation type.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (Full) when you're asked again for the installation type.
* Choose PostgreSQL as database to use.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun) when you're asked for the java home directory.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (/usr/share/ant) when you're asked for the Apache ant home directory.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (/var/lib/tomcat5.5) when you're asked for the Tomcat installation directory.
* Type in your web server's domain (e.g.: server1.example.com) when you're asked for it.
* Enter "8180" when you're asked for the http port.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (openbravo) when you're asked for the context name.
* Enter "/usr/bin" when you're asked for the directory that contains the PostgreSQL binaries.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (localhost) when you're asked for the database server parameters.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (4532) when you're asked for PostgreSQL's listening port.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (openbravo) when you're asked for the database name.
* Next enter the PostgreSQL admin password (twice) that you created earlier at step 1.2.1.
* Hit "Enter" to choose the default (tad) when you're asked for the openbravo database user.
* Next type in a password (twice) for the new user.
* Now type in "y" to start the installation - this will take a while...
2.3 Webinterface
Now you can access Openbravo via http://%servername%:8180/openbravo . Log in with the username "Openbravo" and the password "openbravo".
