how to configure Deployment?

xexiz

Hello! I found some configuration in alfresco files to configure the Deployment but, I can't find THE spot where we can define the Deployment target. I'm running Alfresco 2.1 with the Web Content Management, but i would like to deploy the websites to the same server but.. in another Apache instance. So, alfresco is started, virtual-tomcat is started, AND tomcat 6 is started on 8081. Now.. do I have to configure this new tomcat Instance to listen (RMI port i think) of all the configuration has to be done directly in the alfresco extension custom properties files? (shared/classes/alfresco/extension)

tomcat (alfresco)
virtual-tomcat (wcm)
cda-tomcat/webapps (brand new clean tomcat 6… the target I would like to deploy my websites)

Thanks!

By the way, is there something on the wiki about this? Because the only thing I found is http://217.174.252.22/wiki/Deployment explaining where is the default config of RMI port..

The deployment target is "default". We can define various targets in the application-context.xml but its of no use currently.

I have a similar requirement and have done the following workaround.

1. Modified the logic to change "ROOT" (webproject create wizard) readonly text box to editable so that i can enter my own webfolder.

2. I have 4 webprojects and all has their own webfolders, but when i try to deploy the projects. The deployment is working good, but it deletes the other project deployment did previously. I have to check for a workaround .

3. The other option is to run 4 deployment receivers with different ports writing to different folders within the staging server.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

Thanks,
Vijay

Actually, I just found the deployment package.. installed it and configure it changing the target but well, the deployment is crashing with this exception and I can't find why

installations folder look like this:

-tomcat
-virtual-tomcat
-extras
-alf_data
-bin
-deployment (including all the deployment zip)
——deployment.properties
——application-context.xml
——depmetadata
——deplog
——depdata
-cda-tomcat (a clean tomcat 6 version where I want to deploy the web projects)
——webapps

vijay_alfresco

The configuration looks good, but try this

1. Delete the following folder
——depmetadata
——deplog
——depdata

2. Remove the following entry from the application-context.xml for "default" entry

<entry key="runnable"><value>org.alfresco.deployment.SampleRunnable</value></entry>‍

3. Just put

/cda-tomcat/webapps‍

instead

~/cda-tomcat/webapps‍

and let me know if this works

I'm still having the same error after the changes you ask me to do

Cant believe it has to be that complicated to deploy a website.. hehe
I must get it functional before leaving in 2,5 hours! …

thx by the way for your time!

***Edit:***
When Im deleting the depdata, deplog and depmetadata and then im restarting deploy_start.sh, it's always tracing this error the first time

vijay_alfresco, how did u changed the code to allow modification of the default website?

Is there any way to copy contents of one web folder to another? What if I don't want to have many different web projects, but just want to change the deployment so it won't be ROOT?

vijay_alfresco

Is there any way to copy contents of one web folder to another?‍

can you explain further on this.

also

What if I don't want to have many different web projects, but just want to change the deployment so it won't be
‍‍

if i understood correctly you might want to change the target location instead of ROOT in the deployment configuration, i think you cannot define multiple targets as of now.

d_mon

Yep, I want to change the target location instead of ROOT in the deployment configuration and couldn't find a way how to do this so far

Btw, if I use another default webapp instead of ROOT, I can't use xs:include in my web forms xsd.

Everyone:

Been lots of work on the deployment front … you now have much richer GUI support for configuration, and you also have new support for multiple file system receiver target deployments and source paths and exclusion paths (by regex).

You can find more details on our hot-off-the-presses documentation update on our wiki. You'll also find some interesting support for in-context preview for non-virtualizable websites (PHP, .NET, etc.) via test servers.
