Did you get this issue resolved? If so, could you share how you resolved it. I'm experiencing the same thing. Thanks…

I hate to get your hopes up with a reply, but I'm having the exact same error. Hoping for a response.

On a 'list' of currently installed amp files, I get the following:

Module 'websitetools' installed in '/usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war'
   -    Title:        Web Projects Tools
   -    Version:      1.1
   -    Install Date: Tue Apr 01 10:37:26 ADT 2008
   -    Desription:   Web Projects Tools Extension
Module 'wcm.site.wsf15' installed in '/usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war'
   -    Title:        WSF Basic Site 1.5
   -    Version:      1.5
   -    Install Date: Tue May 13 11:55:12 ADT 2008
   -    Desription:   WSF Basic Site 1.5
Module 'wcm.site.alfresco' installed in '/usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war'
   -    Title:        Alfresco WCM Sample Website
   -    Version:      1.1
   -    Install Date: Tue May 13 09:58:42 ADT 2008
   -    Desription:   Alfresco WCM Sample Website

and I'm getting the same error as rbergstrom at the top. I'm not able to roll back the amp files, since 'uninstall' is no longer available as an option.

Any help would be appreciated.

problem solved. for whatever reason, I hadn't installed wcm from the tarfile yet.

perhaps this is because the wiki has no 'installation order' for most of wcm, wsf, etc…

That is interesting, as I had already installed the WCM tar. Would you mind listing your installation steps?

Starting with a clean 2.1 tomcat install…

I'd been waiting for the 'Alfresco Dynamic Website' to be released, and in checking the page in the wiki, I found that it required both alfresco 2.9 (which I installed) and 'website tools', which was available at http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=106&release_id=248

I then needed to find out how to add amp files to my installation, so I followed the instructions over at the Module Management Tool at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Module_Management_Tool

Installed the 3 amps I found at the first link, then had my error.

Lastly, I realized I'd skipped the wcm so went back and got the tar from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=207402&release_id=524562

Now it's running, save for one small little annoyance.

Alfresco 2.9? I installed Alfresco 2.1.0? Is that the version that you installed?

Re: Alfresco 2.1 Community vs WSF 1.5 AMP

rchapman — Thu, 15 May 2008 19:54:50 GMT

nope. 2.9 beta is available, but I think I'm having more trouble with that now. It installs just fine, but for some reason, the create menu is empty on all pages.

I assume you mean 2.9B (which isn't really beta - it's the second Labs release, so still quite rough around the edges). I'd suggest trying again with 2.9C_dev from the nightly build server which rolls-up a number of bug fixes and new features (including those from V2.2 Enterprise)

As I understand it, we're planning on a 2.9 Community Final release in June and it looks like ADW may be released around the same timeframe, give or take a few weeks. ADW's been delayed because of some engineering refactoring we've been doing: we're migrating from ExtJS to YUI, plus we've ripped apart the Web Framework it's built upon and rebuilt it in a much more scaleable and performant way.

Thanks,
Mike

Will the WSF sites mentioned above work on Alfresco 2.1 or do they require 2.9? (websitetools.amp, wcm.site.wsf15.amp, wcm.site.alfresco.amp)

My experience so far on a 2.1.0 WCM install is that websitetools.amp installs fine but doesn't show the 2 additional menu items in Web Projects and wcm.site.alfresco.amp file fails during the install. Should I try it on a different version of Alfresco?

As far as I'm aware, they should all work on 2.1.

You could try submitting a bug report from the Forge page. Be sure to include any detail from the log.

Thanks,
Mike

Did you create a Web Project yet? You need to create a web project, follow the prompts and once done, you will have a new menu which has the two additional items.
