a question about build from source

Hi, After successfully build Alfresco from source, I didn't find alfresco-global.properties under tomcat/shared/classes. According to the 'Alfresco on Eclipse' guide, you will need to create a database named alfresco in mysql and a user named alfresco too. Does that mean:- the default database crede

Hi,
you need to create a alfresco-global.properties if you don't use an installer.
No, of course the DB parameters aren't hardcoded. Use alfresco-global.properties to use whatever db params (dbname, username, pw etc.) you like.
cheers, jan

When deploying the WARs built from source, you don't have alfresco-global.properties, but the init process still populate the data into 'alfresco' database with user 'alfresco' credential. Do you know where those default values for the alfresco-global.properties are defined?

actually, I put a alfresco-global.properties specifying a new DB name in the class path, but alfresco still trying 'alfresco' database.

Where in the class path did you put it? It needs to go into shared/classes.

And did you configure the shared loader in tomcat?

Thank you for your information! I found this: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6. It does the magic!
