Hoi all,

I want to add a custom content type in Alfresco installed on CentOS.The web-client-config-custom.xml and customModel.xml both works fine in a windows operating system, where Alfresco3.0 is installed. There are no errors when tomcat starts. The type is added and I can also search in the "advanced search". I've transfered these two files into CentOS where Alfresco3.1 is installed. When tomcat starts I get a warning message saying:
15:35:26,038 User:admin WARN [bean.content.BaseContentWizard] Failed to add 'custom:tctdocument' to the list of content types as the type is not recognised
I also make sure that the permissions and the owner of the file are set correctly. In CentOS it doesn't even work when I type the .xml on my own.
My web-client-config-custom.xml looks like this:

<alfresco-config>
 <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" >
      <languages>
     <!– <language locale="nl_BE">Nederlands (Belgie)</language> –>
      <language locale="nl_NL">Nederlands</language>
      </languages>
      </config>

Is there someone who can help me?
Thanks!

Hoi all,

I 've figured it out in the meantime!!!  The custom-model-context.xml was not 'activated' by default. After you've installed Alfresco, It has .sample as an extension (custom-model-context.xml.sample)

Thank you for reading.
