Finding the correct global properties file to update settings

ChrisAlker

Hi, I am running Alfresco community 6 in a docker container on Centos 7, I am trying to locate the global properties file to update it, of I search for the file I get multiple entries:

[root@localhost classes]# locate -br 'alfresco-global.properties'
/var/lib/docker/overlay2/868f002e6c845435de331c70b9db6a3988d8a3d34b207bf434bc53fdb532ae5a/merged/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

Can anyone point me to the location of the properties file I want to be editing/updating?

Correct path is

<ALF_HOME>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

ChrisAlker

I cannot find the alfresco folder though, perhaps because it has been installed via a docker container?

kintu_barot

Yes due to docker there will not be an alfresco folder. You have to find it inside the container only.

ChrisAlker

That is where I find an issue, as you see in my original post, there are multiple global property locations, so for instance looking at:

[root@localhost classes]# vi /var/lib/docker/overlay2/868f002e6c845435de331c70b9db6a3988d8a3d34b207bf434bc53fdb532ae5a/merged/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

This file does not contain any configuration whatsoever, it is just blank

mire323

Try the following:

1. execute 'docker ps'

It returns something like this:

Then copy CONTAINER ID of alfresco-content-services (the one in red rectangle) and execute:

2. 'docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> bash'

That will put you in <ALF_HOME>/tomcat folder, and from there you just need to navigate to 'shared/classes', to do so execute:

3. 'cd shared/classes'

and there you will find alfresco-global.properties file.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, I had actually got this far and accessed the global.properties file, but it was empty which I wasn't expecting. I expected the file to contain some default properties that I could amend or add to. I added a certain setting to resolve a known problem I have had with a previous version (5.2) and it resolved the problem, just threw me with the file being empty.

I'm glad it's solved!

Hey Chris,

I am facing the same issue, where is the actual file located finally

EddieMay

Hi @arjunm1989

If you look at @mire323 answer, you can see that if you run the docker cmds they mentioned (starting with, "execute 'docker ps' "), this will give you the location of the file.
