Alfresco on a Stick

[mawilson]

I am attempting to create an instance of Alfresco to run on a 1GB USB "thumb drive." I started with the process outlined in the sticky forum post on the same subject. At the moment I am working within a directory structure on my HD to get everything to work then I'll move it the the USB drive. Per the instructions I:

Downloaded MySQL 5.0.51b w/o installer, extracted it in the Alfresco (base working) directory and renamed the somewhat longer folder name to 'mysql'.

Downloaded JDK 5.0 from the Sun site and installed it in Alfresco/jdk then deleted the demo and sample folders.

Downloaded and installed OpenOfficePortable (note: new name) in Alfresco.

Downloaded and extracted the Alfresco Tomcat bundle into Alfresco.

I modified alf_start.bat to read:

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————
rem Start script for the Alfresco Server
rem —————————————————————————

rem —————————————————————————
rem Start DB (MySQL) in a minimized console
rem —————————————————————————

echo Starting MySQL…
start "MySQL Server" cmd /c mysql\bin\mysqld-nt –console
echo When MySQL has started…
pause

call alfresco.bat start‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

alf_stop.bat now reads:

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————
rem Stop script for the Alfresco Server
rem —————————————————————————

call alfresco.bat stop

rem —————————————————————————
rem Stop MySQL
rem —————————————————————————
echo Shutting down MySQL…
mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

alfresco.bat reads:

@echo off
rem —————————————————————————
rem Start script for the Alfresco Server
rem —————————————————————————

rem set Alfresco home (includes trailing \  e.g. c:\alfresco\)
rem set ALF_HOME=%~dp0
rem set ALF_HOME_URI=%ALF_HOME:\=/%

set CATALINA_HOME=tomcat

rem Set any default JVM options
rem set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Xss64k -server
rem The following options are only required for Sun JVMs prior to 1.5 update 8
rem set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader$1,doBody -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo$Merger,mergeIndexes -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo$Merger,mergeDeletions

rem — If SetPaths.bat already exists - assume set by hand and use as is
set PATH=bin;%PATH%
if not exist "SetPaths.bat" goto getpaths 
call SetPaths.bat
goto start

:getpaths
call RegPaths.exe
call SetPaths.bat
del SetPaths.bat

:start
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;bin;%PATH%
rem —————————————
rem Start Components
rem —————————————

if not ""%1"" == ""start"" goto nostart

rem —————————————
rem Start Tomcat
rem —————————————

echo Starting Tomcat…
call "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat"

rem ———————————
rem Start Virtualization if available
rem ———————————
rem if exist "~dp0virtual_start.bat" call "~dp0virtual_start.bat" 

rem —————————————
rem Start OpenOffice for transformations
rem —————————————
rem if not "%OPENOFFICE_PATH%" == "" call "%OPENOFFICE_PATH%\soffice" "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" "-env:UserInstallation=file:///%ALF_HOME_URI%oouser" -nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard
if exist "start_oo.bat" call "start_oo.bat"

goto nostop
:nostart

rem —————————————
rem Stop Components
rem —————————————

if not ""%1"" == ""stop"" goto nostop

echo Shutting down Tomcat…
call "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\shutdown.bat" 

rem if exist "virtual_start.bat" call virtual_stop.bat 

if exist "start_oo.bat" c:\windows\system32\taskkill /f /im soffice.bin

:nostop‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I created start_oo.bat with:

@echo off
rem ————————————————–
rem Start script for the Open Office transform service
rem ————————————————–

echo Starting OpenOffice service…
call OpenOfficePortable\OpenOfficePortable.exe‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In addition to the instructions, I modified db_setup.bat to:

@echo off
rem —————————————
rem MySQL create DB command
rem —————————————

echo Creating Alfresco database and user…
..\..\..\mysql\bin\mysql -u root < db_setup.sql

echo Database prepared.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and db_remove.bat to:

@echo off
rem —————————————
rem MySQL remove DB command
rem —————————————

echo Deleting Alfresco database and user…
..\..\..\mysql\bin\mysql -u root < db_remove.sql

echo Deleting indexes…
del /s /q "../../../alf_data"
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I started MySQL, ran db_setup.bat, then stopped MySQL. Next I ran alf_start. The MySQL server started normally. OpenOfficePortable openned but not minimized (something to work on later, I think). The Tomcat command window opened and Tomcat proceeded to process the .war file. The tail of the dialog in the command window was:

Mostly for grins, and partly from perverse curiosity, I tried http://localhost:8080/alfresco and got a 404:

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/

I've tried numerous suggested fixes from this forum to no avail. I'm not about to rule out the possibility that I've missed something. Only thing is, I don't know what it is.

Any ideas?

Try commenting in:
JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Xss64k -server

You should also clear out your failed install (db_remove / db_setup) before re-starting.

Thanks, janv! That did the trick! I've got the dashboard now.

Now on to OpenOffice. For some reason, it starts once, disappears and starts again but not minimized. Task Manager shows only one instance. I also noted the following while Alfresco was coming up:

I wonder if I really need 'start_oo.bat' after all.

[mawilson]

To answer my own questions:

re: the problem with OpenOfficePortable. It wound up being simple. start_oo.bat pointed to a reasonable place but lacked arguments to start it in the background. Alfresco.bat relies solely on what is in start_oo.bat if it exists. Various commented out versions of a command to start OOP in alfresco.bat also had paths that didn't reach the correct file.

re: need for start_oo.bat. alfresco.bat uses the existance of start_oo.bat to determine whether to kill soffice. So, either have a start_oo.bat or modify alfresco.bat accordingly.

Since I appear to need start_oo.bat, I decided to place a working form of the start command for OpenOfficePortable. start_oo.bat now reads:

@echo off
rem ————————————————–
rem Start script for the Open Office transform service
rem ————————————————–

echo Starting OpenOffice service…
call OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\program\soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" -nologo -headless 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This still generates a pop-up concerning language selection ("user interface language cannot be determined"). It's probably more an OO issue but, I'd love to know how to avoid it. NOTE: the reference to oouser was removed from the start command because I have no such file anywhere on my system.
