Hi Pradeep Kumar,

its very simple

first of all you have to make sure that
1) tomcat or any web server is running or not
2) mysql5.x working currectly or not

otherwise you have to configure it

i recently install mifos1.4 in ubunto 9.04.
i briefly tell what i did


download mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.45-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz version from the net

downloand apache-tomcat-6.0.24.tar.gz from apache web site

unzip tomcat and mysql using this command:

tar   -xvf   apache-tomcat-6.0.24.tar.gz
tar   -xvf    mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.45-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz

rename it, if you want, using this command:

mv apache-tomcat-6.0.24.tar.gz tomcat6

mv mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.45-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz mysql_5145




follow the steps bellow

1. install java 1.6 JDK :
   sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

2. install mysql 5.1.4.5

3. create a file named mifos.cnf in /etc/mysql/conf.d/ and put in it:
   [mysqld]

# due to issue 1513 lower_case_table_names = 1 # optional, but saves disk space

innodb_file_per_table

Restart the database for the new settings to take effect.

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

4. Create mifos databases:
   mysql> CREATE DATABASE mifos;

5. grant permissions to user 'mifos' (doing these grants more than once has no effect). If you choose a different user name and password, adjust these instructions accordingly:
   mysql> GRANT ALL on mifos.* to 'mifos' <at> 'localhost' identified by 'mifos';

mysql> GRANT ALL on mifostest.* to 'mifos' <at> 'localhost' identified by 'mifos';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5. create tables and values using the script given with Mifos version

6. Set up environment variables for Tomcat:
   export CATALINA_HOME=$HOME/tomcat6

   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

7. change the database setting in Mifos

8. copy mifos.war to the webapps directory of tomcat
   

9. start Tomcat. Execute the following:
   cd /tmp $HOME/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh

10. Visit http://localhost:8080/mifos/ in a browser to use Mifos. (username: "mifos", password: "testmifos").

    

Note :The environment variables may lost if you restart the system.

so you add this path to the .profile file of your home directory,

add this lines to the .profile using any  editor

export CATALINA_HOME=$HOME/tomcat6

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

starting mysql automatically in startup by editing file /etc/rc.local and adding the below line at the last before the line “exit 0”

/bin/sh -c 'cd /usr/local/mysql; ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &'
