Alfresco.war gets exploded automatically when you start up tomcat.

Do the following to manually expand it.


cd /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/
mkdir alfresco
cd alfresco
jar xvf ../alfresco.war

Would this problem of .war not exploding, be caused by the wrong version of JDK? I could not find jdk-6u17-linux-i586-rpm.bin on sun's website and went with update 18 instead. Is there a alternate source or direct link to that file?

the .WAR still does not automatically expand. I finally found the jdk-6u17 rpm and (freshly) installed, but when i'm trying to copy the alfresco-global.properties from the /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/ directory, it cannot find anything beyond the webapps (which contains the alfresco.war file). I can follow the directions below to manually explode it, but shouldn't this happen automatically?

By the way, i'm now using CentOS x64 5.4 with jdk-6u17-linux-x64-rpm.bin. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hey! Success! I just modified /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 to move the heap initial size to 512 and max to 640. After that, all is working, alfresco.log file created and logged into Alfesco on port 8080.

Before:


JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1g -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"

AfteR:


JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512M -Xmx640m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"
