Alfresco 3.2 as package for Ubuntu 9.04

[chr_ypma]

I installed the alfresco-community package (after activating the "partner" repository in /etc/apt/sources.list), and almost everything works fine.

Things working out-of-the-box:

• Share, Check that Sun Java 6 is actually the active Java, otherwise OpenJDK could be used, and that gives errors


• Explorer


• All the intergration things like openoffice, swf2pdf etc

Things not working:

• CIFS, I had to add the non-privileged ports in alfresco-global.properties, and then set port forwarding


• Sharepoint, it's not installed, and I guess installing it would break future updates of the package.

Will these 2 things be fixed in future updates of the alfresco-community package?
Apart from these two things it's really a breeze to install alfresco, as simple as any package on Ubuntu.

Is FTP operational in the 3.2 Ubuntu 9.04 package ? I have about 10GB of content that I need to move into spaces and the implication in the Shariff book is that I should be able to ftp into alfresco and add file to spaces. Following http://jared.ottleys.net/alfresco/alfresco-community-3-2-ubuntu-package-explained and examining  recommended files at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration#Running_SMB.2FCIFS_from_a_normal_user_accoun... , but the content of files that I find on the Ubuntu package do not appear to be the same as those in the wiki article.

Is there a better reference for for FTP configuration.

The objective is to have Alfresco running on an Linux Amazon EC2 instance with Persistent Storage and S3, so that colleagues in US and overseas contractors could access the system - FTP being the only requirement - no CFIS share drive needed.
