How can I tell if Sharepoint protocol was installed?

[gsvitak]

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the full stable linux installer for 3.0 that supposedly included the SharePoint protocol support. In the preview edition, I know there was a ROOT.war that I thought I had to place in the webapps directory. I noticed this is missing on my install. However I do see that vti-module.amp is in the amps directory but when the server boots, it states that it found 0 modules.

Basically how can tell if the amp is installed in the war? Do I think to add it to the war via the amp utility? It does not mention anything in the installation pdf so some direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
G

Check you can connect to port 7070 on the server.

Please see the PDF linked from this wiki article for details:

Hello

thanks for the response. I cannot connect to port 7070 and I am internal to my firewall. Any suggestions on how to debug? I do not have CIFS working yet.. do I need this first?

No, you don't need CIFS configured.

Check whether the server is listening on port 7070 using netstat or equivalent and that a machine-local firewall isn't blocking connections.

If it all seems ok, please post the startup log.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,

Thanks for the continued help.

When I did a netstat -a |grep ":7070".. this returned nothing. So it does not appear to be listening on port 7070.

Cannot remember if I said we are using Fedora Core 10…

Doesn't look like the Sharepoint module is installed. Try shutting the server down, then running the "apply_amps" script.

Thanks,

thank you that worked.

Last question… the normal sharepoint protocolo runs over the default web server port.. any plans to support this configuration so the user does not have to remember "7070"?

thanks,
G

I agree - it would really be great if the sharepoint protocol could run on port 80 instead of 7070.

In theory I suppose you could just change the 7070 to 80 and all should be ok:

vti.server.port=80
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco
‍‍‍

Except that I have changed my tomcat setup to run on port 80 (instead of 8080).

I wonder if it will be possible to have both run on the same port (80) ???

No because the SharePoint protocol is quite mad - it expects all sort of FrontPage extension folders to reside off the root (hence the first implementation used a ROOT.war, but this was unpopular).

You might be able to arrange a different hostname and proxy the connection through to the default port instead - you'd probably be better off using an Apache web server instead of trying to get Tomcat to do this however (that's the usual way to enable port 80 by the way).
