problems with the .deb & instructions on the wiki for 32bit machine & hopefully some fixes

[David Braude]

Hi As you may have guessed from the title I have been having a few issues getting things set up

Some background. My father is an accountant, he is not bad with tech but installation is a bit beyond him

so what I thought I would do is create a virtual box with everything set up for him. I got it working the long

way ( http://wiki.idempiere.org/en/Installation_on_Debian ), but I was hoping to get the .deb 

( http://wiki.idempiere.org/en/IDempiere_Debian_Installer ) if he wants to install from scratch. 

So the setup is a Virtual Box running 32bit Ubuntu with 2gig ram and 20GB HDD

A minor correction to the wiki is that the java package is: 

openjdk-7-jdk

So the problem is that iDempiere is not actually copied anywhere, 

When I unpack the .deb I assume I need to copy the idempiere-server

into /opt/idempiere-server (haven't had a chance to try this)

Anyway I think that the copy instructions are missing from the .deb hopefully it won't be hard

to fix. 

As an aside perhaps give instructions for making sure that postgresql works, ie

sudo -u postgres psql

\password

enter password twice

\q

and then check 

/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf (or other version)

has 

local   all         postgres                          password

or

local   all         postgres                          md5

Thanks David,

I would recommend you to play and install the 2.1 version for your
father as is the most stable and maintained at this moment. That uses
java7 so it must work ok.

The debian installer is written in a way that it doesn't require the
postgresql user to have a password, as is intended to be ran with root user.

I think you're right about the java7 dependency for 3.0 - I'll check it.
