Hi,

you have to install the VTI module. In the root directory of your Alfresco installation is script called apply_amps. This will install the SharePoint Protocol feature.

Thanks

I now get a login box when i try to open http://alfrescoserver/alfresco/ from MS Word File->Open but after entering correct login credentials i get the following message from MS word:

"The internet address 'http://alfrescoserver/alfresco/' is not valid"

But this is the same address that i use within a web browser and that works ok. I have tried this on Windows XP with Office 2003 and Vista with Office 2007 and get the same error.

Any clues?

I'm getting the same problem as you, not sure how you enabled the logging to get this information, for the record word 2007 produces the same problem.

Hi I have install vti amp file on my ALfresco3.0 server,It works fine but some time I am getting following error

ERROR:vti.mehtod.AbsractVtiMethod uncheckout document.The provided url is invalid

Re: Sharepoint and Word 2003

sclayton — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:36:42 GMT

I've finally got to the bottom of the issues with being unable to access documents in Alfresco straight from MS Word. This came down to our network proxy getting in the way. All I did was change Internet Explorers Internet Options (Connection Settings) to bypass the proxy for local IP addresses.

Is this or can this be added to the installation documentation of made sticky in the forum so that others don't get stuck?

Re: Sharepoint and Word 2003

rxm307 — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:06:39 GMT

I finally got this working with a fresh install and then installing the vti module, however I cannot check in new documents via the sharepoint protocol as an administrator but I can update documents that have been previously checked in via the web interface.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong…. has anyone else gotten this to work?
