Alfresco 3 Community and Oracle

[jriker1]

I was told that Alfresco 3 Community Edition would install with Oracle Express.  I installed Oracle Express and when I tried installing Alfresco (same computer) it gave me the options to user Derby or MySQL.  Does the community version not work with Oracle?  I am also installing this for testing in Windows but plan to move to Linux if that matters.

Thanks.

JR, you'll need to install Alfresco 3 Labs with either Derby or MySQL, and then change the appropriate properties files as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Database_Configuration#Oracle_Example.

My recommendation is to select Derby during install.  That way you don't have to have an installation of MySQL running.

HTH,

Hi,
I wondered about Oracle express support for Share… who did you get the information about it being supported from?

Thanks!
