[SOLVED] Failed deploying alfresco from war

bluearth

Hi,

Since alfresco installation package for linux requires GUI which not suitable for my current situation, I decided to try and deploy alf from the war package (alfresco-community-war-3.2r.zip). My web container is tomcat 6. So I followed the instruction at "Installing and Configuring Alfresco ECM Community Edition 3.2r.pdf".

- I have created the required directory that are missing in tomcat 6.
- Move the extension dir from the zip file to shared/classes/alfresco/
- That gives me the main alf configuration under shared/classes/alfresco/ at alfresco-global.propertoes
- Edited that file to match my environtment.
- Dropped JDBC driver under lib (mine uses MSSQL Server jTDS driver)
- Drop the alfresco.war under tomcat's webapp dir
- Bootstrap tomcat

The server started, but server output indicates that alfresco.war failed to load. Here's the server output highlighting the place where tomcat fails:

As shown, alf still look for default MySQL driver and seemed ignoring my global property setting.
Is there anything missing from my installation steps?

Cheers…

Yes you have missed setting the class loader for tomcat 6.

alfresco-global.properties goes in shared/classes rather than shared/classes/alfresco.

alfresco-global.properties goes in shared/classes rather than shared/classes/alfresco.

Okay I moved alfresco-global.properties to that location, something seems to happen. The bootstrap process did find my alfresco-global.properties (as shown in the server output), but then it throws a bunch of spring exceptions.

I reckon that I'm missing ibatis dialect definition for MSSQL server.
Any other idea?

Thanks

Did you say you were using SQL Server? SQL server (and other enterprise databases) are only supported in the enterprise edition. Try an enterprise trial.

Yes I did.
And after two days straight strugling to figure out what went wrong I can finally rest easy now

Thanks for the clarification.

EDIT: Could you point me to official page/document that saying which RDBMSs Alfresco Community supports?
