Install Alfresco on a notebook/pc for testing?

[peterverkooijen]

Is there any low threshold way to install and test Alfresco on a pc? Or do you really have to be a java programmer and enterprise network administrator to get started with Alfresco?

I've tried installing Alfresco on Windows 7 using a loopback adapter, but can't get it to work. The information available about it online is very sketchy. An earlier post here about it did not get any responses.

Running Alfresco on a USB stick would also be a cool testing solution, but that also seems to be a dead thread.

I am a self-employed web entrepreneur and IT journalist. I'm experienced with PHP/MySQL, but get nowhere with Alfresco.

Just run the windows installer and that should be it.

What exactly "doesn't work"?   Does Alfresco Start?  Are there any errors in your Alfresco.log ?

Any laptop with > 4GB of Ram from the last 5 years should be O.K.
