Using / developing on Alfresco

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:51:43 GMT

Hi everybody,I've installed Alfresco to get a feeling of what it does, how, etc. NOW, I want to set up a dev environment in the PC it is running (see its code, debug, etc) and I don't know what I HAVE to do to keep both of them working. I apologize in advance if all of these have been answered befor

you need
* java sdk
* Alfresco sdk
* an alfresco installation completely set up.

everything else is optional
* IDE (eclipse works quite well for me, allowing to integrated advanced workflows with Jboss Plugin)
* SVN client, if you want to check out the Alfresco source

The Wiki descriptions should cover everything.

If I install a new mySQL server for dev (I already have the one that's installed by defualt created by Alfresco installer) will be any conflict between them? What should I do to avoid these conflicts?

For my development environment I created another db called "dev" and then gave the alfresco user permissions for it. You then should go into alfresco-global.properties and change the db.name value to whatever you named your development db name. The other db. values can be left alone.

Good Luck!
