Issues with 3.4a war packaging

opoplawski — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 22:26:23 GMT

I'm testing out installing the alfresco-community-3.4.a.zip war package and it looks like it ships with some "test" modules:alfresco-community/web-server/webapps/alfresco_war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/test:alfresco-global.properties module-context.xml.sample module.properties.samplealfresco-

Okay, looks like with the move to tomcat6 from tomcat5, it no longer looks in shared/classes for alfresco-global.properties, but in:

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco-global.properties
/root/alfresco-global.properties
/usr/share/java/tomcat6/alfresco-global.properties

Any way to change these search paths?

Let's face it, Alfresco has a lot of strength but not the one to be easily installable if you don't use the whole bundle archive (including MYSQL / TOMCAT/ …)

I am trying to migrate from 3.2r / Tomcat5 to 3.4a / Tomcat 6 … Not easy

FWIW - Here is my attempt at an rpm that can install the WAR package on a Fedora or RHEL/CentOS box.

http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/alfresco-community-3.4.a-1.src.rpm

If you already have the alfresco-community-3.4.a.zip file, you don't need the src.rpm.
