Freebsd is not a supported platform.

The suggested solution is in that link. However to get the work-around to work you will have to extract the file-servers-context.xml from the repository.jar and put it in the correct folder under shared/classes to over-ride the subsystem.

Also please make sure the issue is raised in JIRA so it can be looked at.

Thank you for your prompt help!

It works with the modification. But only when I modify the file inside the alfresco-repository-5.0.a.jar.

I have tryed to put the modified file-servers-context.xml in shared/classes/alfresco/subsystems/fileServers/default but it seems that the override is not hapening.

I have tryed to use shared/classes/alfresco /subsystems/fileServers /shared/class/alfresco/subsystems etc. but none works.

To override a file, is there another configuration I have to add? Or modify the name of the file?

Thanks

the path is (I think)

shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/fileServers/default

However http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Subsystems#Extension_classpath
says alfresco/extension/subsystems/fileServers/default/default/custom-file-servers-context.xml.

Thank you for this pointer to the doc and for your extremely fast answer. It works with the file placed in the mentionned path.

Alfresco up and running on FreeBSD. Next steps: AD integration, etc… And installation documentation.

Is it possible to ask to add a "freebsd" platform on the sources? I will be glad to debug this on FreeBSD if needed.

Thank you Mark!
