Remote DM Deployment

tmhilton — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:25:48 GMT

I am trying to set up a staging and production environment on two systems. I would like to have the staging environment set up to deploy to a local deployment receiver that is accessible under Web Deployed on the staging system. I would like to have the production set up to deploy to a remote deploy

That should work.

Check
a) that you have the "wdr_deployment" subsystem running on production. There should be an "Info" message on startup.
b) use "netstat" that your producion server is listening on 192.168.1.2:50500
c) you havn't got a firewall blocking access.

Thank you for your help and the prompt reply.

Port 50500 is showing up on netstat, and I have it open on my firewall. I've looked through all of the log files and do not see and don't see anything related to wdr_deployment. Is this different from wcm_deployment? I do see wcm_deployment_receiver in the subsystems folder. Is there something else I need to configure?

Thanks again for your help.

I just installed Alfresco Community 3.3 on two Windows XP systems. On the production (receiver) system I added the following to the alfresco-global.properties file:
deployment.dmr.consolidate=true
deployment.dmr.name=alfresco

On the staging (sender) system I set up a Web Project with a reciever pointing to port 50500 and target alfresco on the production system. The deployment to the production system was successful.

I'm not sure what the differences are between the 3.3 and 3.4c versions, but something doesn't seem to be quite right when doing a deploy to a remote DM target using 3.4c. Hopefully this is something that can be resolved soon.

Thanks,
Tod

So, is the WCM to a remote DM functionality supposed to be the same for 3.4c as it is for 3.3? Should this work with a simple installation or are there additional steps that I am missing? I would really like to make this work so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tod

I also have a similar issue. If I try to deploy to my localhost with target as default it works fine. When I am trying to deploy to my remote linux server that has stand alone deployment receiver running, I get the error "Could not connect to remote deployment receiver". Has anybody else encountered this issue and solved it successfully?
