Documentation for Labs 3.2 file-servers configuration?

mcq — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:10:48 GMT

I recently built Alfresco from the Subversion HEAD and noticed that Labs 3.2 seems to configure its file-servers quite differently. The instructions at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration no longer seem to apply. Does anyone know if documentation exists that explains the changes?

Apologies, the IPv6 setting was left on from some testing - i've turned it off again and will be correct in the next nightly build or current SVN HEAD codeline.

Kevin,

Thank you for updating the file-servers.properties files in HEAD. I noticed you changed the old file in HEAD/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco as well as the active (real?) one in HEAD/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/subsystems/fileServers/default. As far as I can tell, the "file-servers.properties" file in the …/config/alfresco directory is no longer used. The Ant script still deploys it to WEB-INF/classes/alfresco, along with the file "file-servers.xml", but I believe neither of these files is read during Alfresco configuration at startup.

If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate the correction. If I'm right, perhaps these two (what I believe to be outdated) configuration files should be removed from the alfresco.war so as not to confuse other users of the Labs 3.2 preview version.

For what it's worth, I updated the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration to signal readers that it no longer applies to the upcoming Labs 3.2 version, and to give a pointer to the correct configuration directories.
