From the openSUSE desktop launch Firefox web browser.

in the Firefox address bar type "http://localhost/phpMyAdmin" (case sensitive) and press enter.  This will load the graphical interface for managing mysql.  From a directory standpoint the phpMyAdmin is loaded to /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin.  So in reality what is happening is apache is serving requests on your localhost or 127.0.0.1 IP address with the top level directory being /srv/www/htdocs and phpMyAdmin is just another subdirectory where the phpMyAdmin program resides.

On home page create database "ofbiz" with Collation of latin1_general_cs and click on"Create".  Collation has something to do with character sets but I am not sure I understand the ramifications of that.

Click on "Privileges" then click on "Add User".  Enter user name of "ofbizadmin", type in host IP address of "127.0.0.1", type in password of something like "*ofbiz01", Database should be none, and global permissions should be none.  Click "OK" to add user.  Scroll down to the section "Database Specific Privileges" and select the database "ofbiz" from the drop down.  This will take you to the permissions screen at which time you need to click on "Check All" and then click on "OK"  The ofbizadmin user now has full access to the ofbiz database.

Lets go back to our Terminal Program and type "cd /opt/ofbiz" then press enter.  This will change directory to /opt/ofbiz.  At the prompt type "ant" and press enter.  This will compile the source code to Java readable code that you can then execute.
