Alfresco WCM - File Server Deployment Failing - XML Parsing

bshort — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 20:17:40 GMT

We're running Alfresco 2.1 Enterprise version with the WCM installed on RedHat Linux Enterprise Edition 5.1 running against an Oracle 10g database.I'd like to get Deployment working using the File System Receiver, but I'm having some issues.Here is my deployment.properties file:dep.datadir=depdatade

It looks like the problem might be on the two previous lines:

<bean id="properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.Prope\
rtyPlaceholderConfigurer">

(this needs to be a single line without the '\' character). In fact the DOCTYPE declaration has the same problem too:

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.or\
g/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

If that's just an artifact of posting to the forum, let me know and I'll take a closer look at it.

Cheers,
Peter

This is just an artifact of posting in the forum. The linebreaks obviously aren't there in the actual files.

I was able to get around some of this by referring to a newer version of java:

Here's the new error:

This latest exception indicates that Spring is unable to find the "deployment.properties" file in the classpath. Are you starting the FileSystem Receiver using the "deploy_start.sh" command, or manually?

Either way, it's critical that the directory the FSR is installed into is in the classpath. The best way to do this (which is used by the "deploy_start.sh" script as of 2.2 - not sure about earlier versions) is to use the following JVM startup parameter:

-Djava.ext.dirs=[directory in which FSR is installed]‍

Cheers,
Peter

Hi,

I am getting the same error with FSR v2.2?
I have checked the deploy_start.sh script and the classpath parameter is being set "-Djava.ext.dirs=."

Any ideas?

Thanks, James.

Are you running deploy_start.sh in the correct directory or pulling it off a PATH?

Re: Alfresco WCM - File Server Deployment Failing - XML Parsing

I'm running deploy_start.sh from within the "/opt/Alfresco/Deployment" directory (the default install location).

Is there a deployment.properties file in /opt/Alfresco/Deployment?

Cheers,
