  1. Comfortable with installing and running OFBiz weekly build at the Windows Command Line
  2. JDK 1.5, with JAVA_HOME environment variable set correctly
  3. MySQL 5.0 installed as a Windows Service called 'MySQL' (we recomend at least 5.0.24 as below this there are some nasty instabilities in MySQL)
  4. Read this tutorial http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate.htmlImage Removed

Preparation

  1. Download the latest stable binary of Java Service Wrapper from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39428&package_id=31591Image Removed
  2. Extract it to a temporary dir, for instance JSW
  3. Create a new subdir OFBIZ_HOME/win32   , and copy into it: JSW/lib/wrapper.dll, wrapper.jar
  4. Copy the file JSW/bin/wrapper.exe to OFBIZ_HOME
  5. Download the files attached to this Wiki Post, to OFBIZ_HOME/win32 : InstallOFBiz.bat, UninstallOFBiz.bat, service.conf
  6. Adjust the values in service.conf for wrapper.java.initmemory and , wrapper.java.maxmemory, wrapper.ntservice.displayname, wrapper.ntservice.description according to your environment

Installation

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the OFBIZ_HOME/win32 directory
  2. Execute InstallOFBiz.bat
  3. If the script executes succesfully, open your Services applet and check that an "Apache Open for Business" service has appeared.  You should be able to stop and start it just like any other windows services.  Just be aware that, even windows says that the service has been started successfully, OFBiz in fact will still be starting up.
