- Download + install postgres for Windows
- update /data/pg_hba.conf to include the following lines.
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 trust - Download appropriate driver.
- fix build.xml to add your driver's jar file to the classpath or replace existing postgres driver with correct one for the version you just installed.
- Install postgres, making note of username and password. The installation will allow you to name a postgres user. I named mine "postgres". The installation will give you a PGAdmin executable which is useful for doing operations which you aren't allowed to do as admin user.
- initialize database with ofbiz tables, preferably from a pgdump.sql file, alternatively by using the xml import tool.
- change entityengine.xml to reflect your use of a local windows postgres
- link to entityengine.xml example
- url looks like: jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/postgres
Read this for instructions on configuring pg_hba.conf
"host all all ... trust" means no password is checked at all for connects for the hosts indicated, so if you are getting "password failed" in your log files, it isn't reading pg_hba.conf correctly.
For most changes to the .conf files, you can tell postgresql to read them again with the command pg_ctl reload -D D:\psql\data. Certain settings in the .conf files require a postgresql restart which is best done from PGAdmin III. Stopping the service and trying to start it again can turn into a major hassle because this amounts to starting postgresql with administrative privileges. When I did it this way, I couldn't restart the service except by rebooting.
You will also need to run a ant run-install-seed to put default passwords (admin,ofbiz)
