Getting Started

[ollit]

Hello,

i ahve installed Alfresco 3.4.a on my local machine. Download source was http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Community_Edition.

Installation went fine with all components and i soon could bet it to work. So i followed the getting started for the Web Quick Start and importet the example files and folders.

If i want to look at the webpage (http://localhost:8080/wcmqs/) i get a page with nothing in it. Looking in the files all index files are empty. There is no navigation implemented. I get the impression that the example filkes are incomplete.

regards Olli

I put the wqsapi-custom.properties file in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ with these contents:

wcmqs.api.alfresco=http://<server address>:8080/alfresco
wcmqs.api.user=alfresco
wcmqs.api.password=alfresco
wcmqs.api.alfresco.cmis=%{wcmqs.api.alfresco}/service/cmis
wcmqs.api.alfresco.webscript=%{wcmqs.api.alfresco}/service/api/

OK. I'll assume that "<server address>" is actually the correct address for your Alfresco repository. Have you created a user in the repository named "alfresco" with password "alfresco"? If so, what privileges have you given that user?

[bremmington]

All

The problem with the credentials not being set correctly in the Web Quick Start by the installer has been fixed and is available from the latest nightly build (http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/).

Thanks, I downloaded the latest nightly build and now it works.

Excellent news. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi,
I have the same problem with Alfresco Comunity 3.4 32bit Linux.
The behavior is the same as described in the former postings.

After reading and trying everything in this thread, my Alfresco 3.4b wcmqs app still does not work on my Windows 7 system.  It actually worked for me on Ubuntu Linux but not Windows and I'm not yet sure yet why.  I also am having the problem that UTmichael had where I cannot find the webquickstart.log file.

I do get this WARNING in standard out:

WARN : org.springframework.beans.GenericTypeAwarePropertyDescriptor - Invalid JavaBean property 'baseUrl' being accessed!

I'm sure I missed something obvious.

Any suggestions?

That exception is from the OpenCMIS library, and seems to indicate that the repository hasn't started. When you see this error are you able to login to Share successfully?

Yes, I was able to get into Alfresco Share (/share) and Explorer (/alfresco) and both of them operated as normal in my few tests. 

x32 vs x64: A change from the alfresco-community-3.4.b-installer-win-x64.exe to the alfresco-community-3.4.b-installer-win-x32.exe installer fixed all my problems except the log files not showing up. 

Logging: I put explicit paths to the log files in the log4j.xml files and all is well now so far.

Linux: The version installed on my Ubuntu 10.04 system was alfresco-community-3.4.b-installer-linux-x64.bin and it seems to be functioning correctly.

???: I'm not sure why the 64bit version didn't work for me on my Windows 7 64bit system.  I left all the defaults alone when installing including using the packaged java and not the one on my system.  Has anyone else had good/bad luck with the x64 windows version and Windows 7 64bit?
