Elusive Sharepoint

[sreilly]

Hi all,
I've installed alfresco-community 3.2-9 from the Ubuntu 9.04 repositories and both the Explore and Share areas work.
However, I can't get the Sharepoint Protocol to work.
When I try to create a new Document Workspace in Word 2007 I get the message "The action could not be completed."
I read through the ECM_InstallConfigure_CommunityEdition32.pdf and it looked like I had not installed the vti-module.amp so I did that using the downloaded alfresco-mmt.jar thus;

/etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install vti-module.amp /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war -verbose

That went well and it appeared to install OK;

java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar list /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war
Module 'org.alfresco.module.vti' installed in '/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war'
   -    Title:        Vti
   -    Version:      1.2
   -    Install Date: Wed Sep 02 17:04:36 BST 2009
   -    Desription:   Alfresco Vti Extension

I also modified the alfresco-global.properties file as instructed;

vti.server.port=7070
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco
vti.alfresco.alfresoHostWithPort=http://myserver:8080
vti.share.shareHostWithPort=http://myserver:8080

Restart tomcat6 and still no joy. Same message in Word.

The thing is that when I did a preview of the install of vti-module.amp it said it would create files in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/org.alfresco.module.vti but that directory (org.alfresco.module.vti) doesn't appear when tomcat starts.

So, what am I doing wrong?

TIA,

Steve

found this one in the installer-script :

# FIREWALL:
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow https‍‍‍‍‍

after disabling Ubuntu's Firewall ( using "ufw disable" ) I'm able to reach my alfresco via http://serverip:8080/alfresco
so now it works with:
http(s)://serverip/alfresco
http://serverip:8080/alfresco
https://serverip:8443/alfresco

just one problem is still alive : not able to connect to sharepoint ( port 7070 )
currently I'm using http://serverip:7070/alfresco to connect …

once more my vti-config:

vti.server.port=7070
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco
vti.alfresco.alfresoHostWithPort=http://192.168.100.10:8080
vti.share.shareHostWithPort=http://192.168.100.10:8080‍‍‍‍

Now, in Word you should be able to logon to "Sharepoint" by opening File->Open and entering http://youserversname:7070/alfresco in the name field.
You should now be prompted with a login prompt, in which you can chose, who you want to be 😉
You'll then see a list of available sites, which you should create first in http://localhost:8080/Alfresco/Share.
You can also create spaces inside Word/Excel, etc. by using the shared workspace functionality in the Extras menu.

works right now after following this steps in IE8 -> http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/SharePoint_Protocol
i had added ONLY the https-link …
after adding the http-url it works …

thx 2 all … and i would like to say : SOLVED
… for the moment
