[tvenkatmca]

Hi,

Please tell me, [size=150]how to install Alfresco in my existing Tomcat(version 5) installation. [/size]



I installed alftresco tomcat-0.4.0a
operating system: windows 2000 with mysql and jdk1.5(alfresco is running ok from the c:\alfresco folder)

i already have a tomcat installed in my system, shall i simply copy webclient.war into the existing webapps folder.

and what other changes are needed?

Yes, you're right, simply copy the web-client.war file into your webapps folder.

You will also need to copy the MySQL JDBC connector to Tomcat, copy mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar from projects/3rd-party/lib into <tomcat-home>/common/lib.

I try do it all too and there isn´t response. I modificated the server.xml with the url: http://localhost:8083

In that case how i can launch the Alfresco application? I think is with: http://localhost:8083/alfresco or not? I say this because say me the navigator that isn´t correct the url.

In conclusion, what URL i need to launch the Alfresco ???

Thanks,
Best rewards

Hi,

Stick the 'alfresco.war' file into the tomcat/webapps directory.
Stick the mysql-connector.jar into tomcat/common/lib.
Create a schema in MySQL called 'alfresco'.
Create a user in MySQL called 'alfresco' with the password 'alfresco.
Allow the user 'alfresco' rights on the schema 'alfresco'.
Note, there is a db script shipped with the Alfresco packages that has these commands in it.
Run Tomcat, and connect to alfresco using:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco

Note, substitute your changed port number for the 8080 part.

I've followed the instructions myself. I've used the Tomcat manager to deploy the app. It deploys correctly and it creates the Alfresco directory in the webapps directory. When I go to start the app though it fails. In fact, not only does it fail but Tomcat appears to freeze altogether and I need to shutdown Tomcat, delete the Alfresca directory and the WAR file, then restart Tomcat.

What's in the alfresco.log file?

Also, are you sure it wasn't just starting up and not actually "frozen"?

Thanks,

These are the errors I was seeing in the logs:
14:18:01,745 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost

of class org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener

Tomcat itself was frozen as I couldn't even open up the default Tomcat homepage.
