alfresco.war install

[globestern]

hi

I've here the alfresco.war (tomcat and mysql are isntalled) and want to use alfresco… 

what does I've to do?

I saved the .war file in the webapps dir of my tomcat server - if I start tomcat, then it creates a new dir called "alfresco"

but if I want to access it over the webbrowser: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/index.jsp does I get an error called:

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/index.jsp

type Status report

message /alfresco/index.jsp

description The requested resource (/alfresco/index.jsp) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.23

so the directory doesnt exists.. but its stored on the webapps dir?

(sorry for my bad english..)

regards

–> MySQL is installed and also the MySQL JDBC driver is added to tomcat.

Hi,

You will have to supply some more information in order to track down what went wrong, but as a first step did you run the database creation script?

create database alfresco;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;‍‍‍

If it fails after that, post the contents of the log file.

Thanks,
Mike
