Hi guys,
our configuration is:

-Alfresco ver.3c
-jboss 4.2.3
-apache tomcat 5.5.17

Now we would like to install WCM module.

Which are the differences between WCM installed on Alfresco 3 rather than 3.3?

Can u tell me which files I have to download and configure to achieve the goal?
Can u please tell me where i can find some comprehensive guide or tutorial?


thanks a lot

Your starting point is the install guide which has details on how to install WCM and JBoss.
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Community_Edition

The release notes for the versions between 3 and 3.3 will have details of the WCM enhancements.   For example 3.3 adds three new WCM services, 3.2 reworked the WCM deployment framework and introduced clustering for AVM repositories, 3.1 Added a bunch of new APIs.

Look at the "Install" section of the first link I posted.

Can i install WCM 3.3 on Alfresco 3?    No you can't.   You need to match the version of WCM to the version of Alfresco you are running.

The install section refers to Alfresco 3.3, not Alfresco 3… Where can i find install documentation like that that refers to Alfresco 3?

Where can i find some docs about installing wcm and virtual server on Alfresco 3 and jboss?

Do i need to install a virtual server? In that case, where can i find documentation about the installation and the configuration of the virtual server?

Thank a lot and sorry for the many questions, but i have to deliver a demo of a project as soon as possible…

I'm assuming that you mean the Labs 3c release in which case the files are here : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3c  I don't think there was an install guide for that release.

This wiki page tells you how to install WCM.
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Downloading_and_Installing_WCM

WCM is fine without the VS it but obviously if you are not running it then you wont be able to use features like preview via the VS.

As per the link above to install Alfresco WCM you need to unzip the WCM package (alfresco-labs-wcm-3c.zip) over the top of Alfresco and add the wcm-bootstrap-context.xml file to the Alfresco Extensions directory.     After you restart Alfresco you should see the "Web Projects" space within Alfresco Explorer.

Its up to you whether you install any FSRs (alfresco-labs-deployment-3c.zip)   You won't need one to start with.

You will need to start the virtualisation server if you choose to use it to preview your website.    Again you don't need it to start with.

I don't know what the other download is.  I've never used it.

I understand that without FSR, websites made with wcm are stored in the avm store. Is it possibile to backup and restore avm?
