How to check which config-files are used

prijke

Dear all,

I used the wiki to create extensions in <TOMCAT>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

In my case that is /usr/local/apache-tomcat6.0/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

I changed some settings, but after restarting tomcat, the changes are ineffective.

I cannot see nor understand why they aren't used.

The exact steps I did were these:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Community_WAR_on_Centos_5#Modifying_the_basic_Alfresco_properties

How can I check which files are used and in what order?

Any help will be highly appreciated

Can you post these files that are noted in the Wiki:

[root@localhost alfresco]# cp custom-repository-context.xml.sample custom-repository-context.xml

[root@localhost alfresco]# cp custom-repository.properties.sample custom-repository.properties

[root@localhost alfresco]# cp custom-hibernate-dialect.properties.sample custom-hibernate-dialect.properties 
‍‍‍‍‍‍

BTW, another great reference on Content Modeling specifically is at http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article.pdf

Hi SDavis,

Thanks for the interest in my problem.

Of the mentioned files, I only changed the custom-repository.properties. The other two are default. I've created them in <TOMCAT>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

Here's the custom-repository-context.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<!–
       This shows the common minimum configuration overrides.
       By default, the content and indexes are located at a relative location, which should only
       be used when doing a quick preview of the Alfresco server.

Here's the custom-repository.properties. I deliberatly gave the user and password a false name, to see if startup would fail (it didn't fail)

In the end it appears that Tomcat6 is doing differently….

This was my solution
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6

sdavis

Ah, that's definitely news to me with Tomcat6. Did following the process noted correct your problem?

matthewboh

I'm installing this with Java 6 and tomcat 6 and I'm having a lot of problems. I think I have it down to the fact that it can't find the mysql connector/j file - where does it go?

I've put mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar in
[tomcat]/lib
[tomcat]/common/lib
[tomcat]/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib

I feel like I'm just shooting in the dark!

Mat:

I'm running 2.1 community on tomcat 6 with java 6 and placing the jdbc drivers in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib does work. However, I'd caveat that with the fact that in my tomcat configuration the jvm CLASSPATH is set to:

CATALINA_LIBDIR=/usr/share/tomcat-6/lib/
CLASSPATH=${CATALINA_LIBDIR}:${TOMCAT_HOME}/shared/classes
‍‍‍‍

The other path is for the configuration extensions. The wiki entry mentioned earlier addresses this in another fashion, but this is working for me.

HTH,
