How to Create AVA

This Wiki is read-only for reference purposes to avoid broken links.

Updating from the previous AVA

• The basic idea behind making AVA is simple, in fact too simple.
• It is just a matter of adding onto another virtual machine image.
• In this case we already have the previous AVA. So i am using the last one which was AVA315 done by Fer_Luck and Timo Kontro.

First Steps

• Get into a fresh latest AVA via vmplayer (refer to ADempiere Virtual Appliance on how to get that.
• Launch the web browser within AVA to download the latest binary release from SourceForge
• You can alternatively compile the latest source from trunk and upload the binary to some ftp site and download back via the web browser.

Stop the JBoss

• sudo /etc/init.d/jboss stop

Setting up

• Now it is just a matter of setting up as normally expected in a real environment
• But first copy the old properties files (Adempiere.properties in both user directory and Adempiere's, AdempiereEnv.properties) so that you need not redo settings during RUN_setup.sh
• rm -fr /opt/Adempiere
• untar the gz file into /opt directory
• chmod 777 RUN_setup.sh
• copy back the properties files
• ./RUN_setup.sh
• /tools/ ./RUN_ImportAdempiere.sh

Repackaging the AVA

• Making it smaller and saving it for upload (coming soon)
