As of v3.2, all customisation is via the alfresco-global.properties file. Please see this wiki article for more information.

I am running alfresco on centos 5. I have check the path for ImageMagick, convertd, pdf2swf in global properties and they are all correct. Yet the document preview is not working. All the pre-requisite i.e latest flash player, are fulfilled by the client system for running alfresco. Would really appreciate if anyone can reply soon.
