I am trying to install Apache ofBiz on a remote server. I followed the instructions, install JDK, Java, gradle, I set the path to JAVA_HOME and all that...but when I run:
me# gradle wrapper
I get this:
[user@server]/downloads/apache-ofbiz-18.12.08# gradle wrapper Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where: Build file '/root/downloads/apache-ofbiz-18.12.08/build.gradle' line: 62
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'ofbiz'.

Folks, I used to set up Apache servers and build static websites back in the early 2000's. After the bubble popped, I became a diesel mechanic. I have been out of the game for a longer than some of you have been alive...take it easy on an old man, ok? I know a lot has changed. I'm kinda lost on this one. It LOOKS easy in ofBiz install guide, and some other websites with guides, but I'm obviously missing something somewhere.
Thanks in advance.
I tried the install instructions...but something is not right. I don't know if I missed something, or the install guide makes assumptions about the server that I'm not aware of. The server is a fresh VPS of Ubuntu 20.04. I also have the option of changing to FreeBSD and a few other flavors of Linux, if that might make this easier.
