Enterprise Installation Linux Trial

[leetcharmer]

I've tried installing Alfresco using the .bin files for linux.  I use Ubuntu as my server and I install via

sudo ./AlfrescoEnterprise-2.2.0-Linux-x86-Install.bin‍

Following the installation, I then install the WCM via

sudo ./AlfrescoWCMEnterprise-2.2.0-Linux-x86-Install.bin‍

All is installed using the defaults which installs Alfresco to /home/$user/Alfresco.

After running the

./configure.bin -mode Console‍

I tried to use the alfresco.sh start – it complained about @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@.  So I went through all the .sh files and replaced @@ALFRESCO_DIR@@ with /$HOME/Alfresco.  Now when it runs the start_oo.sh I get permission errors even while running as sudo.  Don't know what to do about that.  There are 3 other files that appear to work:

virtual_alf.sh
virtual_start.sh
virtual_stop.sh

These don't put out any errors, but I'm not quite sure what happens when I run them.  I can't connect to the web interface and I can't access a CIFS fileshare.  Am I supposed to install a lamp server before doing the Install.bin files?  I'm not sure where to begin.  Please help me, thanks.

virtual* scripts start the virtualization server, which allows to preview content of a running Alfresco instance.

start_oo refers to openoffice - you could comment that out - alfresco can run without open office. 

i am assuming you have an instance of tomcat that you are installing alfresco, to? 

BTW - Here are all the installation-related wiki pages:

I tried following the Ubuntu Tutorial: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_7.10 and I got a lot of itables errors when the init script ran as well as other problems talking about JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME variables.
