Issues when using LinuxInstaller for community edition

forcev

I've installed Alfresco on a few distros using the LinuxInstallers, and all appeared to go well. I can access alfresco without issue and can upload/edit and pretty much do all the document management that I want. The problem comes when I want to do web content management.

As I said earlier I have installed on several distros - SLES10, SUSE10.1, openSUSE10.2, CentOS5 - and I get the same error on *all* systems. Basically when I run al_start.sh I get:

# ./alf_start.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:        /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:       /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR:    /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:                /opt/Alfresco/java
sh: @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@/alfvirtual.sh: No such file or directory
Starting OpenOffice service…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If I try and run virtual_start.sh I get:

# ./virtual_start.sh
sh: @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@/alfvirtual.sh: No such file or directory
‍‍‍‍

I have tried following the guide on how to set up a sample site but that borks, and I think it's down to the above error. Any chance of some pointers, please?

P.S. One thing I noticed about the installer is that on CentOS5 it places a few icons on the desktop, but not on any of the SUSE distros.

Thanks

Hello,

You could try running the 'alfvirtual.sh' file manually.

The error seems to indicate that you don't have the 'ALFRESCO_DIR' variable set, which by the info in your trace should be '/opt/Alfresco'

Hope this helps,

Steve

Steve,

Would I have missed a step if alfvirtual.sh doesn't exist in /opt/Alfresco or is it located in a different sub directory? (should have mentioned this earlier)

I installed the AlfrescoCommunity-2.0-Linux-x86-Install and I installed the AlfrescoWCMCommunity-2.0-Linux-x86-Install, which as a result provides the following scripts in /opt/Alfresco:

alfresco.sh
alf_start.sh
alf_stop.sh
start_oo.sh
uninstall
uninstall-wcm
virtual_alf.sh
virtual_start.sh
virtual_stop.sh

I have made no configuration changes other than using MySQL as the DB backend.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

It looks like you might have found an issue with the WCM installer.

The file that should be run is 'virtual_alf.sh', not 'alfvirtual.sh' as your trace shows.

So, you could either:
run 'virtual_alf.sh start'
or run 'virtual_start.sh' (just does a call to 'virtual_alf.sh start')
or modify 'alf_start.sh' to point to the correct file.

I will raise a Jira bug about this.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

You may want to add the following to the bug - when I run virtual_alf.sh or either of it's linked scripts I get:

# ./virtual_alf.sh start
./virtual_alf.sh: line 5: cd: @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@: No such file or directory
./virtual_alf.sh: line 14: cd: @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@/virtual-tomcat/bin/startup.sh: No such file or directory
‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for confirming that I'm not totally inept at following instructions.

Solution is pretty simple for anyone that has this issue:

@ALFRESCO_DIR@@ with your install path (in my case /opt/Alfresco).

Also edit virtual_start.sh and Virtual_stop.sh and do the same.

I think the script tells me to do that - # Set the following to where Tomcat is installed.

forcev

In virtual_start.sh and virtual_stop.sh you will need to replace alfvirtual.sh with virtual_alf.sh

(Something that also needs to be put in the bug report)
