tvenkatmca

Hi,

Please tell me, [size=150]how to install Alfresco in my existing Tomcat(version 5) installation. [/size]

I installed alftresco tomcat-0.4.0a
operating system: windows 2000 with mysql and jdk1.5(alfresco is running ok from the c:\alfresco folder)

i already have a tomcat installed in my system, shall i simply copy webclient.war into the existing webapps folder.

and what other changes are needed?

Yes, you're right, simply copy the web-client.war file into your webapps folder.

You will also need to copy the MySQL JDBC connector to Tomcat, copy mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar from projects/3rd-party/lib into <tomcat-home>/common/lib.

No, you shouldn't need any more modifications, what are you finding is slow?

I try do it all too and there isnÃ‚Â´t response. I modificated the server.xml with the url: http://localhost:8083

In that case how i can launch the Alfresco application? I think is with: http://localhost:8083/alfresco or not? I say this because say me the navigator that isnÃ‚Â´t correct the url.

In conclusion, what URL i need to launch the Alfresco ???

Thanks,

Hi,

Stick the 'alfresco.war' file into the tomcat/webapps directory.
Stick the mysql-connector.jar into tomcat/common/lib.
Create a schema in MySQL called 'alfresco'.
Create a user in MySQL called 'alfresco' with the password 'alfresco.
Allow the user 'alfresco' rights on the schema 'alfresco'.
Note, there is a db script shipped with the Alfresco packages that has these commands in it.
Run Tomcat, and connect to alfresco using:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco

Note, substitute your changed port number for the 8080 part.

I've followed the instructions myself. I've used the Tomcat manager to deploy the app. It deploys correctly and it creates the Alfresco directory in the webapps directory. When I go to start the app though it fails. In fact, not only does it fail but Tomcat appears to freeze altogether and I need to shutdown Tomcat, delete the Alfresca directory and the WAR file, then restart Tomcat.

What's in the alfresco.log file?

Also, are you sure it wasn't just starting up and not actually "frozen"?

Thanks,
Mike

These are the errors I was seeing in the logs:
14:18:01,745 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost

Tomcat itself was frozen as I couldn't even open up the default Tomcat homepage.

Search the forums for "PermGen space" errors - it's quite common.

Thanks,

On linux there might be another problem: being that the jvm is out of memory due to the fact that shutting down not necessarily shuts down the java processes.
Hence, when restarting, java process is already running and using memory.

To find out:
- go to ssh control panel
- type the command

ps ax | grep java

- if a process is identified and you are SURE that alfresco/tomcat has been stopped, then issue the command:

kill -15 [PId number]

where PId number is to be found from the "ps" command

- again issue ps ax | grep java. If still not stopped, then issue the command

kill -9 [ PId number]

Note: rather not use the latter. First use the -15 option!

It looks like it was the memory error. However once we configured the amount of memory allocated there was still issues with the install. It appears what happened was that the database was created so when I went to install again (thinking that it failed outright) the installer saw the tables in the database and then bombed. So once I dropped the database and recreated it then ran the installer (with the new memory options) all went well from there.

I have some errors when i try to launch the Alfresco. I reset the server and the Debian Linux. I reinstall the MySQL database too. What can i do?
