WINDOWS INSTALLATION OF MIFOS PACKAGE

• Order matters here (to some extent, so please follow these)
• Create a directory (aka a folder) on the C drive. So that you now have c:\bin ready for later steps.
• DOWNLOAD and install Java 2 SE JDK 5 from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
  • On the page, this will appear as JDK 5.0 Update X
  • where x is the most recent update (currently Update 9)
  • chose JDK please NB: Not Java EE and not NetBeans and definitely NOT the sourcecode for JDK
  • The file should be either "jdk-1_5_0_0x-windows.zip" or ""jdk-1_5_0_09-windows-i586-p.exe" (offline or online should work)
  • Follow the defaults.
• DOWNLOAD Jetty (the container) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jetty/jetty-6.0.1.zip?download and then unpack to a directory (please choose c:\bin\ that you set up earlier)
  • At the end of the unpacking (aka unzipping or extracting), there should be a directory c:\bin\jetty6.0.1\ with several subdirectories
• DOWNLOAD mySQL5.0 http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html (Community Server)
  • scroll down the page and choose Windows (x86)
  • unpack the setup.exe to a convenient place --> more on step Three

• When in doubt, follow instructions on software download sites
• Select Advanced Tab on System Properties Window (hint: right click on myComputer)
• Add JAVA_HOME path (usually something like c:\program files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09) to the system environmental variables
  • This means click add on system variables, name is JAVA_HOME value is c:\program files\java\JDK1.5.0_09. (or _10 if update 10)
• Validate that Jetty is referring to Java and therefore working
  • Refer to the README file that comes with the Jetty Zip file. It includes this statement c:/java -jar start.jar which you run from a DOS window
  • If you didn't follow that last statement, open a DOS command line window, cd to c:\bin\jetty6.0.1 and then type java -jar start.jar in the DOS window
  • If installed properly, then it should return a page at http://localhost:8080/test/ (in your browser)
  • Sometime during the setup, you might get a security warning. Allow the application to run - i.e. Unblock * Hit control-C to end the runtime of Jetty

• Install mySQL from Zip file (extract and run setup)
• Follow wizard defaults mostly
• Make this a developer db
• DSS/OLAP optoin
• Best support for multi-lingualism
• Make this a windows service
• Set root password to mysql (if you set it to anything else you MUST note that down - there is NO WAY to reset)
• FInish and then open mySQL command line from the Programs>mySQL.
• If you don't get a mysql prompt after entering the password, then verify the service is running
  • Service running? Go to Control Panel: Administrative Tools> Services. (scroll down to mysql)
  • Password lost - uninstall mysql entirely, delete the data folder under mysql directory, start step over.

• From sourceforge mifos downloads
• (or java.net whichever seems newer)
• Expand Zip file
• Create c:/bin directory and c:/bin/sql directory
• Move mifos.war file to c:/bin/jetty6.0.1/webapps (existing directory)
• Copy all files ending in .sql to c:/bin/sql

• Use "Programs>mySQL." and select "command line mysql"
• If that is not there, then open dos window
• At c:\ prompt, type mysql -b -u root - p
• password default is mysql
• At mysql> prompt type source c:/bin/loadmifosdb.sql;
• if you get an error it might mean you have not loaded the scripts in the correct location.

• Make sure you have moved mifos.war file to the webapps directory under the Jetty installation directory
• Open DOS window and cd to the jetty location (cd c:/bin/jetty6.0.1)
• At the dos C:/ prompt, type java -jar start.jar;

• To validate that the server is working, type http://localhost:8080/mifos - you should get a response with the mifos login page
• Email questions to mifos-developer@lists.sourceforge.net. or join irc://freenode/#mifos for continuous chat
• Developers should get a full source download via http://mifos.sourceforge.net

• Halt the jetty engine
• Open the mysql command window and load the data
  • mysql> source c:/bin/sql/loadsampledb.sql
  • err: need to reload the sampleDB
• Restart the Jetty Server (step six)
