Alfresco Studio - Create website Error

torms — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:29:02 GMT

I try to create a new website, When i select green energy or toy store, tomcat generate the next error.01:00:24,093 WARN [web.framework.ImportTask] Unable to import archive from zip: C:\Alfresco\tomcat\temp\Alfresco\d7d3dc5698.zipjava.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file at java

I am also getting the same error no matter which template I attempt to use. Seem like the templates can not be located as the template zip files are not within the tomcat\temp\Alfresco directory…

Should the templates have been packaged with the latest Alfresco 3d??? The Green Energy tutorial states

The Alfresco Green Energy Site is currently archived on Alfresco Network as a zip file.

Hello,

Web Studio actually downloads sites from a community share on Alfresco Network. The idea being that we would like to encourage our community to build interesting components and sites and share them with each other. We haven't yet put in place all of the facilities to enable this but they are coming.

That said, the sites that you see from the site creation wizard are a few "stock" sites that we put in place so that people can try out the tool and play around with the general concept.

There may be a couple of reasons why the wizard fails in the way described. One fundamental reason may be that the server cannot reach alfresco.network.com. If it can reach the server, then I would test the following URL to see if it can be accessed:

https://network.alfresco.com/service/webstudio/sites

This is the main remote hook for pulling back a list of web sites. It is the URL that Web Studio calls out to in order to retrieve the list of available sites. It's a JSON formatted feed and you be able to see the three sites in it.

Inside of that, you'll see the archive URL:

https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/greenenergy.zip

You can try either of those from your machines. If there is an issue retrieving the URL due to network connectivity (perhaps a proxy or firewall), then that surely is the reason. We will need to empower Web Studio with better error reporting.

Please let me know what you find out. If there is a non-network-related issue, then I'd like to help you get to the bottom of it right away.

Michael

I am getting this error too. Do not think i got it with 3C.

Used your URL and got this

{
    "results": {
        "quickstart": {
            "title": "Web Studio Quick Start",
            "description": "Web Studio Quick Start",
            "previewImageUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/quickstart.png",

        }
        ,

        }
        ,
        "greenenergy": {
            "title": "Green Energy - Sample ",
            "description": "Green Energy - Sample",
            "previewImageUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/greenenergy.png",
            "archiveUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/greenenergy.zip"
        }
    }
}

Tried to download the zip and that worked as well I got a 594Kb greenenergy.zip file.

Hi Chris,

Which browser are you using?

Just for reference, I'd like to check against that because the calls are triggered out of JavaScript.
I'd like to give it a shot on your exact browser.

Thanks,

Michael

Hello,

I am also facing the same issue.
I tried with both IE 7.0 and Firefox 3.0.4.
Please find below the error -

I tried a couple of times to create a new website using the greenenergy template as well. The JSON and https link both work and result in a correct result and a zip file if I use them from the browser. I noticed that the zip file gets a new file name each time, but I cannot find the file in the alfresco\tomcat\temp\alfresco, in any of the subdirectories, or for that matter nowhere on the filesystem (including in the IE cache). It looks as if the application is trying to locate the file, but does not manage to write it there in the first place. I am using IE 7 on Windows Vista ,downloaded the full final labs version and installed on a clean machine.

Happy to assist in testing or send you the log files if it helps solving the issue

Hello,

We investigated this a little further and I think we've solved this. It turns out that Alfresco Network (which consists of the backend services on Alfresco's side) was mishandling an HTTP call to download the web site bundle.

If you tried it to call the URL manually within a browser, things downloaded fine because the URL redirects were well-handled within the browser. The Web Studio site-creation wizard apparently got somewhat confused.

Would you be able to give it another shot? Try creating a site using the Power-Toys site, for example, to see if things download and create correctly for you. I expect things are now in good shape. If not, we can take it from there.

Thanks!

Michael

bogemans — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 07:18:57 GMT

Hi Michael,

I retested using the powertoys template and it worked fine. Looks like this solved the problem. I will do some more testing later on today and let you know how it went.

Are there any plans to add an upload feature from a locally stored file when you create a site? Or more generally, what is the best practice to package and distribute a template and site when you have created one?

Tx,

D.

chrisdav — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:01:38 GMT

Thats all working now, thanks. Just wanted to check whether there are any other dependencies on being online. I do demos of the product and am usually not connected up to a network. Do I just need to see alfresco.com when creating a site?

Hello,
During the creation of a new site I have no access to " Based one the following: ". Indeed I have one small wheel which turns on the right but nothing takes place. It's as if there was no synchronization.
Somebody has already had problem.

Hello all

I experiencing the same problems here. I installed Alfresco 3 stable in an ubuntu 8.10 with mysql database.
I tried to configure LDAP + CIFS with no sucess, but that's another story. The Alfresco is only working with LDAP and I have ftp server disabled.

Now I'm testing Alfresco Web Studio, but I can't access to the default sites, the ones that we can create new sites based on. if I access to https://network.alfresco.com/service/webstudio/sites from browser I get the result:

{ "results": { "quickstart": { "title": "Web Studio Quick Start", "description": "Web Studio Quick Start", "previewImageUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/quickstart.png", "archiveUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/quickstart.zip" } , "powertoys": { "title": "Power Toys - Sample", "description": "Power Toys - Sample", "previewImageUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/powertoys.png", "archiveUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/powertoys.zip" } , "greenenergy": { "title": "Green Energy - Sample ", "description": "Green Energy - Sample", "previewImageUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/greenenergy.png", "archiveUrl": "https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/greenenergy.zip" } } }

And that is ok… If I access to https://network.alfresco.com/extranet/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/path/content/workspace/SpacesStore/Company%20Home/WebStudio/labs3c/quickstart.zip from browser a file appear for download, so its ok too.

But when I use Web studio, I can't see content in the area 'Based on the following:'. I loading continue infinitely and nothing appear!
What's the problem? I think that the firewall it's not the problem cause I can access then from browser…
Any of you had this problems?

Please help. Thanks

Luis

hi again…
I forget to mention that I'm using firefox 3.0.8.
I tried using web studio with a internet connection with no proxy and got the same result.

Help, Thanks.

Hi,

I have also problems with Firefox 3.0.8
I can create a simple Project, also based on "Green Energy" for example.
But when I later try to fill a HTML Component into a Header Region, then after saving the Region, gets lost!

So, I think there is a bug with Alfresco and Firefox.
When I try the same with Internet Explorer it works fine.

Best regards,
Sven

Re: Alfresco Studio - Create website Error

luisg — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:25:20 GMT

Hello Sven, and thanks for your reply…

I forget to tell that, despite the fact I can't see the sites we can create a new project based on, I can create a new empty project.

About the html component, I experienced the same problem. After add some html component (and save it), the area just disappear.

In opera I can't either create a project based on one of the available sites by default. But about the html content, works just fine!

thanks,

Luis

I have the same problem. Anyone has an update on this? It seems the project on sourceforge has not been updated since 2006, I really hope they'll make this work for 3.0.8
