OpenMRS Fired Up and Running on the Laptop

I finally have a little breathing room from my huge school project and wanted to setup OpenMRS on my laptop. I basically followed the steps from http://openmrs.org/wiki/Step-by-Step_Installation_for_Developers and got things up and running. Basic stuff about the versions of the various software I setup:

  • Fresh install of Eclipse 3.3.2 and setup Subclipse 1.2.4. Running Java 1.6.0_05-b13 but set compliance level to 1.5.
  • Installed MySQL 5.0.51b and configured as a multifunctional db with 20 concurrent connections. Decided to make UTF8 the default character set.
  • Installed the MySQL GUI tools so I could easily look at the db model if required.
  • ant 1.7.0
  • Tomcat 6.0.16

To make sure things were all working correctly, I made my self a patient in the system:

Alright, back to running network simulations for school. Only 10 more days!
