Hola gracias por tu respuesta, pero tengo varias dudas

¿utilizaste ese manual para instalarlo en windows 2003 server o fue en otro tipo de windows?

investigando por internert he visto que
en http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco existe un enlace donde segun un manual puedes descargate todo en uno
copio el texto
esta en ingles

Installing on Microsoft Windows
In our earlier section, you have noticed that repository application server is the default deployment option chosen. This means that the out-of-box Alfresco installation is a typical web application where the web application server becomes the host for an embedded repository and is accessible through the HTTP protocol. In this section, we discuss the requirements and procedures for simple installation of Alfresco using the installer on a Windows platform.

Requirements
The default installation of Alfresco software requires installing the Windows community version alfresco-<version>-windows-community.exe downloaded from the SourceForge project location (http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco). At the time of writing this book the latest version was 1.4 and the installer file alfresco-1.4Preview-windows-community.exe is approximately 183 MB in size.

This installer will install:

Java Development Kit (JDK), version 5.0

MySQL database, version 4.1.16

Apache Tomcat, version 5.5.12

Portable Open Office, version 2.0.3

Alfresco, version 1.4 which is packaged as a Web Archive (WAR) file and deployed on the Tomcat server

To install and run Alfresco, you need at least 500 MB disk space and at least 512 MB RAM on the desktop or server.

Installation of Community Edition with Tomcat and MySQL
The following steps are a simple way of installing community edition with Tomcat and MySQL:

Start the installation of Alfresco by double-clicking on the Alfresco installer. You will see this first screen:


After you click Next at the bottom, you will see the license agreement screen. Accept the agreement and click Next

You will see the option to choose the installation folder. Let us install it in the default folder given by the installer, C:\Program Files\alfresco-1.4. Please note that you have the option to browse and select your chosen folder by clicking the  icon. Once you are done with the folder selection, click on Next.

In the next screen, you will be prompted to enter the passwords for the root and anonymous accounts of MySQL. This step involves installing MySQL database and setting the appropriate permissions for Alfresco application to connect to the database. You will need this password in case you want to access and perform manual Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD) on the database. You can enter any password of your choice. Click on Next to proceed to the next screen.

You will be asked whether you want to install it as a service that Windows starts automatically when you log in as shown in the next screenshot, If you choose Yes here, it will install two services alfrescomysql and Apache Tomcat alfrescoTomcat on your Windows machine. For default installation, we recommend to use it as a service. The user need not worry about manually starting the database and the Tomcat server. Click on the Next button to go to the next screen:


Start the installation procedure by clicking the Next button. The installation will take a while and you will see a progress bar.

Once you are done with the installation, the final installation screen will be as shown in the screenshot overleaf. Do not forget to read the contents of the Readme file, as it contains information about using CIFS and some troubleshooting tips. Clicking Finish will launch the application.


Once you see the default page, you are sure that the application is successfully deployed and started. Wait a few seconds to allow Tomcat to start and fire up your web browser and browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco. Since it is the first time you are using Alfresco, use admin as username and password.

Using HSQL or MySQL Database
Some windows installations of Alfresco are pre-Configured to use the HSQL database, but can easily be Configured to use other databases. HSQL is a light-weight database used for demonstrations or for building proof of concept applications. You can still use HSQL database and complete all the sample exercises given in this book. However, for production usage, you need to Configure a database such as MySQL.

To use MySQL database, install MySQL 4.1 or higher. To create a database, navigate to <alfresco_installation_folder>\extras\databases\mysql folder, and run db_setup.bat file. This creates a MySQL database named alfresco with a user account and a password of alfresco. If db_setup fails, this may be because either the MySQL service is not running or the MySQL command cannot be found. Either correct this or setup the Alfresco database and user manually by loading the db_setup.sql file into MySQL, for example, mysql -u root -p <db_setup.sql>.

To convert the default installation to MySQL, you simply need to remove three files from the tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension directory that are set to use HSQL. Those files are:

custom-db-and-data-context.xml

custom-db-connection.properties

custom-hibernate-dialect.properties

Installation Folder Structure
Let's take a peek into the installation directory C:\Program Files\alfresco-1.4 (from now on referred as <install_folder>) to look at the folders:

alfresco: All the shortcuts to installing, uninstalling, starting, and stopping Alfresco as a Windows service, and restarting, stopping, and starting Alfresco as a normal console application, from the Start menu of Windows point to this folder.

alf_data: All the Alfresco content and Lucene indexes are stored in this directory.

bin: This directory contains the sub-installations of Alfresco. The main installation script in the alfresco directory calls the sub-scripts in this folder to start the sub Alfresco Tomcat component of the installation, creating and setting up the permissions for the Alfresco MySQL database. This folder is very useful for people going for a manual installation rather than using an installer.

extras: Contains additional files such as a blank template for a records management file plan, which can be imported into the Alfresco repository.

java: As is evident by the name, this contains the Java Development Kit. All the Alfresco development is done using Java as the core programming language.

licenses: This directory contains the licenses for Alfresco, MySQL, Apache, and licenses for the other-third party applications used inside Alfresco.

mysql: This directory holds the MySQL database installation.

tomcat: Again, as evident from the name, this directory holds the Tomcat installation where the Alfresco application is deployed as a WAR file. You can see the alfresco.war file in "webapps" sub-folder of this directory.

PortableOpenOffice: This directory contains the entire portable Office suite installation that is used for word processing, spread sheet processing, etc.

The README file gives information about using CIFS and some troubleshooting tips.

You can uninstall the program by clicking the uninstall.exe application.

Starting and Stopping the Alfresco Application as a Service
The options for Alfresco service can be viewed by clicking Start | All Programs | Alfresco ECM - Community Network | Alfresco Service as shown in the following screenshot:


The various options in the above screenshot are discussed below:

Stop Alfresco ECM - Community Network service: This option is used to stop the Alfresco service. It stops the MySQL server and the Tomcat application server.

Start Alfresco ECM - Community Network as service: Use this option to start the service. This will start the MySQL server and the Tomcat server.

Install Alfresco ECM - Community Network as service: Choose this option if you want to install Alfresco as a service, if you have not chosen to do so during the original installation.

Unistall Alfresco ECM - Community Network as service: This option will uninstall Alfresco as a service. However, you can still run Alfresco using the normal console option.

Starting and Stopping Alfresco as a Console Application
The options for starting and stopping Alfresco as a console application can be viewed by clicking Start | All Programs | Alfresco ECM - Community Network | Run Alfresco. The options there are discussed below:

Stop Alfresco ECM - Community Network: This option is used to stop Alfresco. It stops the MySQL server and the Tomcat application server.

Start Alfresco ECM - Community Network: Use this option to start the Alfresco as a console application. This will start the MySQL server and the Tomcat server.

Restart Alfresco ECM - Community Network: Choose this option for stopping and restarting the Alfresco application.

Alternatively, you can always start, stop, and restart the Tomcat application server and the MySQL database server manually, by going to their respective directories. It gives more control to the user. However, the service option and console option give batch files to perform the start/stop procedures in a consolidated way, relieving the user of any unwanted errors.



Pero vamos lo que viene a decir es que en el enlace de arriba hay el de source hay un paquete que te puedes descargar que te instala

Java Development Kit (JDK), version 5.0

MySQL database, version 4.1.16

Apache Tomcat, version 5.5.12

Portable Open Office, version 2.0.3

Alfresco, version 1.4 which is packaged as a Web Archive (WAR) file and deployed on the Tomcat server

y  si de descargas el paquete
the Windows community version alfresco-<version>-windows-community.exe downloaded from the SourceForge project

y luego vienen unos pasos para instalar el tomcat

me gustaria saber si dicho manual es correcto para instalar al fresco o bien  que diferencia hay entre el alfresco normal y e windows comunnity version gracias
