As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.
In the documentation at Alfresco Docs - Configure databases right in step 1 it is super confusing. I have installed the Ansible deployment of Alfresco Community, but I need to know where to actually put the PostGres JDBC, the documentation is unclear. It says:
Copy the JAR file into the /lib directory.
For example, for Tomcat, copy the JAR file into the <TOMCAT_HOME>/lib directory.
But the ansible version uses Nginx, not Tomcat. There are 100s of /lib folders and Nginx doesn't have a home folder like Tomcat does. Where do you actually put the JAR?
Nginx is only used as a proxy on top of the Alfresco Tomcat instance.
So you have to put the JDBC driver JAR in the Tomcat lib folder.
