Alfresco Community 6.2.0-ga ZIP installation / upgrade from 6.0.7 errors

Peter_Adam_SB — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 12:45:28 GMT

I am not an Alfresco user, just tasked with upgrading our ACE 4.2.c to the latest ACE.

I was able to upgrade till ACE 6.0.7 with less success with the documentation here and more success with Angel Borroy's off-site walkthroughs.

A telling sign that despite the fact it is a 201911 release, and today is 202007, still there is no (mandatory) label for it...

I have chosen the path of not using any SSL between the search engine and the ACE. Pointed the database and the content store to the previous upgrade step.

Which program should be fired up first, then next? Search engine or the ACE? ActiveMQ? alfresco-pdf-renderer?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the startup errors in ACE:

2020-07-28 14:08:30,343 ERROR [content.transform.LocalTransformServiceRegistry] [QuartzScheduler_Worker-2] 06280000 Failed to connect
or to read the response from T-Engine on http://localhost:8090/transform/config

What happened to the transforms subsystem? Where is it documented for ACE? Where port 8090 comes from?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2020-07-28 14:08:33,798 ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] [localhost-startStop-1] Context initialization failed
org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 06280005 Keystores are invalid

Do I need keystores if don't use SSL?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

solr.log

Just unzipped, as instructed, turned off SSL and did the modifications by the documentation. What next?

Which documentation?

What is missing here?

Sure ActiveMQ have to be running before ACE started, otherwise endless waiting for the Messaging subsystem

Don't be fooled by the https://docs.alfresco.com/community/tasks/alf-war-install.html page, and do not include

dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore

in shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

transform.service.enabled=true
local.transform.service.enabled=true
legacy.transform.service.enabled=true

setting some of these to false is a good start on the way to booting

Language translation is broken in Alfresco Community Edition 201911 GA.

The installation documentation https://docs.alfresco.com/community/tasks/configfiles-change-path.html is wrong, shared classloader must be configured like this:

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

to pick up the translation jars placed according to the second best practices.

Despte the fact some jars picked up as advertised, it was necessary to overwrite original English configuration file slingshot.properties in

tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages

Neither using jars nor placing the extracted slingshot_hu.properties files in the exploded WEB_INF directory led to a Hungarian language Share UI.

In contrast to what was written in https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-hub/language-packs/ba-p/290902 , it was not necessary to convert UTF8 to hex representation, that somehow broke the UI despite the fact the downloaded translation contained some, and those worked before touched by native2ascii.
