SVN is currently in quite a state of flux as we are bringing in the WCM functionality, which has been in development for several months. There are bound to be issues so it is probably safer to download or use SVN on port 3696.

We have moved away from C3P0 to DBCP. For some reason, the apache commons dbcp jar is not on the classpath and should be put there to avoid your error.

Libs from /SDK AlfrescoEmbedded/dependencies/commons should be placed in eclipse project class path.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
But now I have this ImageMagic error, I don't know where it comes from since I'm installing on Windows 2000 :

Hi,
Are you running Alfresco 1.4 or 1.3?
For a start, you should create a dev-context.xml in <classpath>/alfresco/extension. In that, override your database connection properties and dir.root property. In that way, you ensure that all executions against the repo, regardless of where they are executed from, will share the same database as well as alf_data location.

Here is my dev-context.xml:


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
    <import resource="file:c:\temp\alfresco\dev-context.xml"/>
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Also, read the WIKI page: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration

To fix your issue, drop and create the alfresco database again and clean out your alf_data folder.

Regards

Hi,
I'm using alfresco release installation 1.4.
I could fix all the errors by reinstalling alfresco, configuring mysql properly and also copying WinNetBios.dll and imconvert.exe into the system directory of windows.
Now everything is working fine, I didn't need to create the dev-context.xml file (is it for the SVN ?) to make it work.

Hi,

You don't have to have the dev-context.xml configuration override. But if you execute a test or something from another directory, the relative path issue will arise again.

Hi,

Thanks for added information.
SDK can be used as a standalone independently (for example in our local computer) from the alfresco installation (which could be on a remote server, right ?). And we can see changes by launching the browser. But how about SVN ? Can we also see changes in the browser just after building all project ? I read something about copying war files but I'm not sure…

Regards.
