lfresco-global.properties vs repository.properties

jjscampos

I did a manual installation of alfresco on webserver already with tomcat6 and mysql.
I already have access alfresco and share and perform basic operation with both.

What is the diference between the conf file alfresco-global.properties (/usr/local/tomcat6/shared/classes/alfresco-global.
properties) and repository.properties (/usr/local/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties).
As much as I could test the configurations worked on repository.properties and nothing been logged if alfresco-global.properties deleted.

You should think of everything in the WAR file as read only. Most importantly that will allow you to replace everything during an upgrade or a restore. However its also a good idea to keep "your" files separate from "alfresco's" files.

The "repository.properties" file can be thought of as the "default values", and since it's is within the war file that is read-only.

The home for your property values is alfresco-global.properties.

So alfresco-global.properties will always override existent entries on repository.properties.

OK.
Thanks.

Yes.

Sorry again, but problebly I'm doing something wrong.

I override the follow entries on alfresco-global.properties

# External locations
#————-
ooo.exe=soffice
ooo.enabled=false
ooo.user=${dir.root}/oouser

#jodconverter.officeHome=./OpenOffice.org
#jodconverter.portNumbers=8101
#jodconverter.enabled=true

# ImageMagick
img.root=/usr
#img.dyn=${img.root}/lib
#img.exe=${img.root}/bin/convert

# pdf2swf
swf.exe=/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This should override the ones on repository.properties as documentation sugest.
But I found this on the log file [catalina.out], witch concern to imagemagick and swftools

But this specific configuration works as expected if I change the tools paths on the repository.properties file.
Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Is the alfresco-global.properties in the right location? I assume so.
It's a matter of permissons? the file permission is 644. Owned by root like all others

Thanks in advance.
