Deployment Targets

[jefflv]

I have followed Getting_Started_with_WCM_for_Alfresco_Community_Edition_3_2.pdf to page 28 and step 2, however the deployment fails.

After following another thread, I have re-configured the deployment receiver as follows:

Type: Live Server
Transport Name: default
Host: localhost
Port: 50500
Username: admin
Password: <password>
Target Name: avm

After re-configuration, I republished and received the message, "Deployment Successful". (Page 11 of the PDF should be updated to have correct values.)

In Windows Explorer I can see the repository at \\alfresco.ip.address\avm\alfrescosample.

However, I want to be able to see the alfrescosample WCM site on HTTP and I cannot find it anywhere.

So……my dumb question that I can't seem to find an answer to is, "How do I see the published alfrescosample on HTTP? What is the URL?"

While you can use the virtualisation server to preview the store, for performance reasons this is not a good approach for your live web site.

What you have done is successfully deployed your content to an AVM store.    This AVM store can  be thought of and used as a "back end" serving up dynamic content to support your web site.

What you also have is a file system deployment target that is typically used to deploy files out to a location that will be served up by a web server.    

Typically your web site will have some static content (jsps, images, text documents, html)  that will be deployed to a filesystem and some dynamic content that will be served up at runtime which will be deployed to an avm store.

I understand, so in other words, the Getting_Started_with_WCM_for_Alfresco_Community_Edition_3_2.pdf tutorial essentially stops before the site goes into production. With that understanding in mind, where can I find tutorials or recommendations on how to use the avm content as a part of my production website?
