Alfresco and Scalix Webmail on the same machine

Hello !

Has enybody installed Alfresco and Scalix mail server on the same machine ?

I'm traing to run these two applications on my serwer. I have read in the Internet that I can have several instances of Tomcat running simultaneously if I change the ports of each one to avoid conflicts.
Ok. I have installed Alfresco (Linux bundle) and moved it successfully on port 8180. By now - I can login to Explorer and Share on this port and everything seems to be fine. After that - I installed Scalix (also Linux bundle, with it's own Tomcat instance). So I think I have following situation:

1. Alfresco (Explorer and Share) on port 8180
2. Scalix webmail on port 8080

Unfortunatelly by now I can run only one of these applications at the time (mail server works correctly, but Webmail not). I can stop Alfresco and then start Scalix-Tomcat so I have Webmail working or I can stop Scalix-Tomcat and start Alfresco.

Because I'm not a Linux guru - I would rather like to avoid install everything manually, although I realise that two Tomcat instances take more server resources than one. I know Alfresco has built-in it's own mail server, but I have read on this forum that it's turned off by default. I did not turned it on.

Has anyone installed these two application with success ?

You should also be able to run scalix and alfresco in the same instance of tomcat.

Thank you for reply, mrogers !
I was hoping I won't have to do it that way, but it seems there is no other solution… Today I have tried to run Alfresco with other, clean instance of tomcat - without success. So I will install Alfresco manually and then deploy others applications. Of course I will post my results.

Thank you !

Well you could run separate instances of Tomcat for Alfresco and Scalix.    But its going to be more involved that just changing the http port number.

There are, for example, the ajp and https ports that will need unique numbers.
