Installation

This is my first try of installing Alfresco Lab 3b on Leopard Server.

Table of Contents

• 1 Install Alfresco
• 2 Configure MySql and change location for data store
• 3 Install optional components
• 4 Apache and mod_jk

Install Alfresco

1. Alfresco Version: Lab3.0b for Linux version with Tomcat package.//
   
2. $ALFHOME: /opt/alfresco
   

Configure MySql and change location for data store

1. Mysql (follow the readme notes - pretty simple)
   
2. Change content store to /opt/alfresco/data that is my SAN disk mount
   (custom-repository.properties => dir.root=/opt/alfresco/content)
   

Install optional components

1. I use Macport to install:
     - ImageMagik
   - swftools 0.8.1_0
   * remember to add /opt/local/bin to paths.d
   
2. Install OpenOffice: The Bootstrap way does not work for me; so, I just go back to oo_start.sh and modify the alfresco.sh. It seems to work fine!
   

Apache and mod_jk

I am using the Apache2 server with Leopard. I tried the reversed proxy (ajp, but I am not able to get to the Ajax (I think) stuff, i.e. no log in box. I had to change to use mod_jk and JkMount. That worked.
