Loftux maintains an <A href="https://github.com/loftuxab/alfresco-ubuntu-install" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">install script</A> which lets you specify the content directory beforehand and takes care of a number of other common installation tasks.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:20:57 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/point-alfresco-content-store-to-an-existing-dir-during/m-p/309454#M262584 jpotts 2016-09-22T18:20:57Z
