Deploying Alfresco1.3.0 into Liferay4.0.0

kevinr — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:21:27 GMT

Hello,As part of the Alfresco 1.3 packages we now supply a bundle containing Alfresco 1.3 pre-configured with Liferay4.0.0+Tomcat. However, if you wish to deploy the plain WAR file yourself (if say you already have Liferay installed) then the instructions are available here:http://wiki.alfresco.com/

That doesn't look like an error - is there any other error message? I assume you have the MySQL connector JAR deployed in jboss/server/default/lib?

I will update the wiki instructions to make sure the MySQL connector JAR is deployed.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kishore

Are you using Liferay+Jboss or Liferay+Tomcat? If it's JBoss then it may be the problem with the JSF JAR versions that has been mentioned before on these forums. If so, i'll add an extra step on how to deal with that.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi, I want alfresco and liferay to run together on the same tomcat installation if I can get it to work.

suse linux 10.1
alfresco 2.1
liferay 4.3
tomcat

Basically I am trying to get an implementation of Liferay and Alfresco running on Suse Linux 10.1. Is there any documentation setup stuff around ashowing how to do something like this?

Regards

simonmags — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 02:46:01 GMT

anybody know of the docs for this, for the lastest versions of the software?

simonmags — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 03:04:21 GMT

http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/space/knowledgebase/linux/java/liferay+install+on+tomcat+5.5

Reference: >>http://content.liferay.com/4.2/doc/installation/liferay_4_installation_guide/multipage/ch05s06.html

The steps are:

    * download >>http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lportal/liferay-portal-alfresco-4.2.1.war?download
    * Rename it to alfresco.war
    * Move alfresco.war to /usr/local/liferay/webapps
    * Do some tweaking in your java machine settings:

Edit /usr/local/liferay/bin/catalina.sh and changed JAVA_OPTS to:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms16m -Xmx200m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.config"

    * Restart liferay:

   1. /etc/init.d/liferay restart

    * Log in as admin at >>http://yourip:8080 and make sure the Alfresco Content portlet was active.

Now you should just go ahead and add your own Alfresco contents using the Admin interface at >>http://yourip:8080/alfresco

Important: don't forget to change the admin passwords for both liferay and alfresco.

is it really that easy?

To run Alfresco 2.1 against Liferay you need the Liferay 4.3+tomcat bundle. You will also need the latest Alfresco code from HEAD SVN for this to work i.e. it will not work corectly with 2.1 RC1 release. Then the steps are relatively simple:

. Unpack Alfresco 2.1 WAR to temp location
. Delete WEB-INF/lib/portlet-api-lib.jar
. Modify WEB-INF/web.xml to add "/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml" to Faces config files list:
   <context-param>
      <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-app.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-beans.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-navigation.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-common.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-repo.xml,WEB-INF/faces-config-custom.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-enterprise.xml</param-value>
   </context-param>
. Add faces-config.xml, liferay-display.xml, liferay-portlet.xml to WEB-INF (see below)
. Repack WAR file
. Deploy WAR to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\liferay\deploy (or whereever your deploy dir is set) and start Liferay

The additional files mentioned above you need i've placed here:
http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/liferay43files.zip

I'll move those to an Alfresco server once they are back up (they have been hit by the severe flooding across the UK).

Thanks,

Kevin

thanks very much for the Kevin, will try it tonight. By the way I am running Linux not windows, so I hope everything is still just the same.

Hi,

You can find Instructions for Do-It-Yourselfers -
Liferay Portal(4.3), Alfresco Portlet (2.1), LDAP and SSO full integration -
at

http://liferay.cignex.com/cignex/Liferay-Full-Integration.doc

And Real Demo (Linux Server) might show you what you expect

Good Luck!

lawrencemagiera — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:46:02 GMT

Jonas,

I visited liferay.cignex.com and attempted to configure the "Alfresco Content" portlet but was unable to do so.

Is it possible to post instructions for that task?

My goal is to have a Liferay "Alfresco Content" portlet configured such that users can use it to interact only with a specific space in Alfresco (the "jonas" space, for example, on your server).

Thanks a million for your help,
Larry

Re: Deploying Alfresco1.3.0 into Liferay4.0.0

Hi Larry,

There is one bug in "Alfresco content" (web services portlet) at liferay.cignex.com. It is expected to be fixed soon. Detailed instructions will come soon after tests were passed.

if you download the whole system and install it in your local machine "locahost" port "8080", you will make "Alfresco content" working well.

Here is an option to view alfresco content by IFrame WebDAV portlet. By this, you can do similar job as well as that in Alfresco content web services portlet.

in CAS loging page, login as

joebloggs / joe

First time to use WebDAV, input admin/admin for WebDAV.

check "My Docs", navigate to "jonas". You will find one file "Test1".

How to configure this?

Just Go to configuration of "My Docs" portlet and configure it.

You may just replace

http://liferay.cignex.com:8092/alfresco/webdav

with your own Alfresco WebDAV.

Good luck!

Hi Larry,

As promised, I fixed the bug - in "Alfresco content" at liferay.cignex.com.

in CAS login page, log in as

jonas/jonas (1)
joebloggs/joe (2)

…

etc.

1) for SSO plus LDAP against Liferay Portal, Alfresco Portlet, and Alfresco compliant standalone application, ( and Alfresco content web service portlet).

2) for Alfresco content web service portlet and Alfresco content WebDAV IFrame Portlet.

Good Luck!

Any idea what could cause a random SERVER: Error listenerStart that is apparently unrecoverable?

Having been battling with this myself, you need to get the Apache Commons Logging components from http://commons.apache.org/downloads/download_logging.cgi, unpack the archive, grab the three JAR files and drop them in [tomcatdir]/lib/ext (when using the liferay/tomcat bundle, probably just lib on a normal tomcat).

That'll make the severe error go away.

I still don't get Alfresco showing up in my portlet list though.
