Alfresco and Mysql [SOLVED]

[dteca]

Hi,
Forgive me but I am not very practical Alfresco, will be part of research on my thesis of the my studies.
I have a problem, should I install alfresco and use some DBMS: mysql.
I downloaded the following version Alfresco-Community-2.1R1-Setup but.
My OS is windows vista home premium.
Towards the end of the installation I report the following error:


n error has occurred during installation
An error has occurred during installation
couldn't open "C:/Alfresco/.installinfo": permission denied
while executing
"open $file $mode"
(procedure "::InstallJammer:toreInfo" line 7)
invoked from within
"::InstallJammer:toreInfo $info(InstallDir)"
(procedure "::InstallJammer::actions::InstallSelectedFiles" line 99)
invoked from within
"::InstallJammer::actions::$type $obj"
while executing
"::InstallJammer::ExecuteActions $action -parent $id -conditions $eval"
(procedure "::InstallJammer::actions::ExecuteAction" line 6)
invoked from within
"::InstallJammer::actions::$type $obj"

Hi
Vista Home isn't a supported platform, however you could try running the installer as Administrator (right-click Run As Administrator).

Actually I've just noticed you're trying to install an old pre-Final version.

There's a newer version here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373

Thanks,
Mike

but i can to install the new version winth the db Mysql?
thank you

[mikeh]

Yes - MySQL is fully supported. Maybe you should do some reading in the wiki to help answer these basic questions.

Thanks,
Mike

sorry Mikeh,
i have done the following steps:

1)installation to mysql6

2)installation the new version of Alfresco: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373

3)Download the JDBC driver (mysql-connector-java-5.1.5) for Mysql and add it to alfresco's war file <alfresco-install-dir>\tomcat\common\lib

4)edit custom-repository.properties and changed root/password

5)Reconfigured alfresco server and chosen mysql

6)i have restarted Alfresco, after star alfresco server.

Is correct?
thank you

[mikeh]

That sounds like the correct sequence.

If Alfresco has started ok and it looks like there are tables in the Alfresco MySQL database, then you're definitely there!

Thanks
Mike

Sorry,
alfresco not started. I think that the problem is when i lanche tehe start server.
Can you indicate any link for the installation Alfresco with Mysql?
thank you

There are plenty of previous topics on these forums, but often it's easier if you post the error from the alfresco log file.

Thanks,
Mike
