Alfresco dont read alfresco-global.properties!

[humbertoccs]

Hi everyone.

I just installed Alfresco Community Edition 3.2. I was following some books about customization… things like dont allow guest user, ldap authentication, etc.

I could make my Alfresco read the files inside my share folder, and block guest access, but it´s not working when i try to enable ldap authentication, so i have to edit files in WAR folder.

Here is my alfresco-global.properties.

dir.root=/opt/Alfresco/alf_data
db.name=alfresco
db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco
db.host=localhost
db.port=3306
ooo.exe=/opt/broffice.org3/program/soffice
img.root=/usr/local
swf.exe=/opt/Alfresco/bin/pdf2swf
db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://${db.host}:${db.port}/${db.name}
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect
authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap

And, if it is necessary, my folder in share directory.


# ls /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/
alfrescoNtlm  ldap  passthru

# ls /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/alfrescoNtlm/
alfinst

# ls /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/alfrescoNtlm/alfinst/
alfresco-authentication-context.xml  alfresco-authentication.properties  ntlm-filter-context.xml  ntlm-filter.properties

# ls /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/
ldap1

# ls /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1/
common-ldap-context.xml  ldap-authentication-context.xml  ldap-authentication.properties

After solve this issue, i needo to know why my ldap authentication is not working, but this is another topic problem!

where have you put your alfresco-global.properties?

And if you are running on your own instance of Tomcat 6 did you set the shared class loader?

My file is in /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties.

The tomcat that is running is the one that is installed by Alfresco installation program.

Just for the record, that´s my alfresco.log file. In this part of the file, you can see the address "qq.com", that´s address is in the file within the WAR folder. My correct properties file is posted after the log file. If i put the correct configuration in the properties file on the WAR folder, it´s loaded correctly. But, that´s not the recomendation to configure Alfresco correct?

Guys, that the deal…

1. I was using Alfresco 3.2… so i upgrade it to Alfresco_Community_Edition_3.3 (last version).

2. I didnt have put 755 permissions on the files .properties and .xml inside my share folder.

After this two modifications, everything seems to work.

Thanks.
