Compiere + Fyracle Windows HOW-TO
=================================

By Chris Ian Fiel
September 2004

Note: Based on the Linux HOW-TO by Ryan Loebs


Requirements
------------

+ Any JDK1.4
+ Fyracle 0.8.1 (fyracle-demo-win32-installer.bin)
+ Compiere2 (from www.fyracle.org/downloads)


step 1:
-------

Extract compiere2.zip to d:\compiere2

step 2:
-------

Run the Fyracle installer. Test the install using the Firebird & Fyracle icons on your desktop.

step 3:
-------

Navigate back over to d:\compiere2\ and manually edit the RUN_Compiere2.bat file to match your environment.
Do *NOT* use RUN_setup.bat, it has not been ported to Fyracle.

Then run:
RUN_Compiere2.bat


step 4:
-------

and you will get a nice little dialog asking for the Application Server and Database settings.  You can ignore the Application Server settings as the server is not needed to run a basic client. In the Database settings use the following settings:

Type:     Firebird
Host:     localhost
Port:     3050
DB Name:  d:/Compiere2/data/compiere.fdb
User:     sysdba
Password: masterkey

Hit "Test Database" to make sure everything is working.  If you get any errors look back and make sure everything is in its correct place and that the Fyracle server is running.


step 5:
-------

After you configure the Database access information you will be prompted with another window asking for a UserID and a Password.  The default ID and Pass will suffice to logon.  Simply click OK twice and you will be in Compiere.  Past this, I have no clue how to use it.  All I've figured out is how to get it running minus the Application Server.  I hope this is of some help to people struggling to get Fyracle+Compiere running.

Note that the Compiere 2.5.0b release has some bugs in it. The demo will be updated to a current release of Compiere in due course. Help with Compiere is available through the forums on SourceForge.

Hope this could help.
