This file describes how to install mifos platform for use in a production or test environment.
The release artifact (.zip file) has the following structure:
+ mifosplatform-X.Y.Z.RELEASE ... parent folder which will have the release number on it | + api-docs ... folder contains html based documentation on the platform API for this release + database ... folder contains database setup and upgrade scripts required for installation + pentahoReports ... folder contains any out-of-the-box reports provided through pentaho + apps ... folder contains apps like reference app that speak to the platform | -- CHANGELOG.MD ... file documents changelog of project up to this release -- CONTRIBUTORS.MD ... file provides details on contributors to project -- INSTALL.MD ... file provides details on installation instructions -- LICENSE.MD ... file provides details on the open source license used by the project -- mifosng-provider.war ... the platform WAR file to be dropped into Tomcat 7 -- README.MD ... initial readme file for the project -- VERSIONING.MD ... file provides details on approach to release versioning
The two ways to get up and running with mifos platform is:
Launch instance ami-2b2d3f5f
Name: Mifos Platform 1.4.0.RELEASE Public AMI
Before running mifos platform you must have the following software installed:
Assumption: MySQL server is now installed.
You should know your password for MySQL root user. If you wish you can change it by doing:
mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpassword
The mifosplatform settings default to a mysql root user with username: root, password: mysql
If you have never installed mifosplatform before follow section 2.2.1 for first time setup of database, otherwise read section 2.2.2 on database upgrades.
Mifos platform has support for hosting multiple tenants so we use two database schemas:
Step one: create mifosplatform-tenants database
mysql -uroot -pmysql create database `mifosplatform-tenants`; exit
Step two: populate mifosplatform-tenants database using database/mifospltaform-tenants-first-time-install.sql
mysql -uroot -pmysql mifosplatform-tenants < database/mifospltaform-tenants-first-time-install.sql
Step three: create mifostenant-default database
mysql -uroot -pmysql create database `mifostenant-default`; exit
Any tenant databases will be upgraded automatically when the application starts if the auto_update field of the tenants database table is enabled(=1). This is the default setting.
Upgrading your database in this way is the recomended way as it will upgrade any tenants setup in the mifosplatform-tenants database but can be disabled by setting the auto_update field of the tenant to zero.
Assumption: You have downloaded and installed Tomcat 7 correctly for your operation system: see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html
Check that the following environment variables exist:
Check that the following is on your path:
