Alfresco + Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala

[paulo_m_tavares]

Hello.

Alfresco was supported in ubuntu repositories in version 9.04.

I've installed ubuntu 9.10 and alfresco is no loger in the repository of canonical partners. What appened?

Best regards

I need to deploy a new instance of Alfresco and was hoping to run it on Ubuntu 9.10 server (no room in the budget for any more Win licences). Any update on when 3.2 Community will be available in the repositories would be much appreciated.

Alternatively I could install 9.04, install Alfresco, and then update to 9.10. Anyone try this before and would it work, or is it just going to cause more problems than it's worth?

Many thanks,
M

Just my $0.02 if it's of any use: My experience has been that using the release from Alfresco (vs. the canonical repository) is actually better. I ran into problems (which unfortunately I did not keep track of) when using the repository version, and basically had to overwrite it with the alfresco 3.2r release. Also, the canonical repository of Alfresco does not (AFAICT) keep up with the latest alfresco release.

I too would like to see Alfresco 3.2 CE on the latest Ubuntu. For one, I've been experiencing some trouble with the preview of MS Office 2007 documents on Ubuntu 9.04 with the Alfresco .deb package. I believe it's probably because on Ubuntu 9.04, the version of Openoffice is 3.0. I've tied to get OO 3.1 installed but ran into dependency problems… Anyone able to view document previews on .xlsx, .pptx, or .docx files?

You have information in the french Ubuntu documentation site.
Link is : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/alfresco

Installation :

install  "ssh" and "htop".
install "MySQL" and administration tools for MySQL.

Add the folowing deposits to "/etc/apt/sources.list".

### Partner deposits
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ karmic-backports partner
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ karmic-proposed partner
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ karmic-security partner
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ karmic-updates partner
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ karmic partner

Reload with apt-get update and install "alfresco-community".

Of corse if canonical is already in your deposits list and MySQL installed as woold be ssh and htop you only have to install the alfresco package.

Hope it will help you.

I've installed the debs from the French repositories, but what next?
All went without errors, rebooted to be sure everything registers and starts correctly, but browsing to :8080/alfresco only tells me this:

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.24

Can anybody tell me how to install Alfresco?
There are only incomplete docs available, which document how to achieve a certain task, but how to set up a server from scratch?

Please help out a clueless Alfresco noob
Thanks
Patrick

Got it working.
I've downloaded 9.04 and reinstalled everything from scratch.

Repository version was behind when I looked at it the last time (which was when I was still on 9.04). Since then always used the Alfresco version from the Alfresco homepage.
