Have you tried to deploy it to another computer than localhost ?

I succeeded in delopying my Web Project to another computer but I can't find it (the web project) on this second computer. The only thing i've found is avm://myWebProject in second computer's node browser.

Any clue ?

regards

Thanks for the reploy loic,

I haven't tried to deploy to another computer/instance of alfresco yet, but it's on my list of things to do. When I deploy to localhost, avm:<webproject>live store gets created as well. But by doing so in the 3.0 stable, it also seems to break the ability for the web project to get its sandboxes back.

I'll try deploying to another instance.

Here's what worked for me - Instead of using localhost as the host name, I used an arbitrary host name such as alfresco3d, then I mapped alfresco3d to my host file. Deployment to my local instance went fine afterwords…

I'm still curious to why this is, and hopefully my findings here will help other people who have/will experience this.

For an ASR deployment the store name on a remote server will be something like avm://myWebProject

Deploying to localhost is really for the convenience of developers (its not the primary use-case) and I think the store name is prepended wth "live" to separate it from the authoring environment.

Thanks for the reploy mrogers!

We've built a pretty rich application using alfresco's AVM system, and a decent chunk of the application depends on deploying to localhost and having the production store named avm://<websitename>live. Realizing that 3.0 final currently does not support deploying to localhost (deploying to localhost would cause the sandboxes to detach from the webproject), we'll continue to use alfresco 3.0b/c.

Can we open up a jira ticket and have the deploying to localhost issue documented, reproduced, and possibly fixed for future features?

Thanks ahead of time
