Installation on openSuse 10.2

[bartsan1]

Can someone provide me with details how to install it there? Downloaded it, installed it in a folder (alfresco and tomcat), changed some links but nothing happens. The docu and the wiki are not helpful. Does an installation file exist which installs the files automatically without the need to change files manually?

When I try to connect I receive the error no connection can be made to 8080.

hi,
I had this problem too but it was only the wrong java version.
With "java -version" you can look which version is installed. And in Yast you can see it too. The installed one is marked.
I had the old 1.4.x installed and updated now to 1.5.x now the tomcat is running  
Only Alfresco won't start.. in the logs is only:

ERROR: ListenerStart
and then all says "Startup failed due to previous error."

I've used the 2.0 Comunity Version Binary

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and this file, cryptix-jce-provider.jar, is in every /lib/ folder that I've found on the system.. but the error is always the same.

[finner]

jakuyi,
what is the atuhenticator type in your file-servers-custom.xml file in your alfresco\extension folder ?  I think by defalult the file-servers.xml is set to "enterprise".

file-servers-custom.xml

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security" replace="true">
      <authenticator type="alfresco"/>
</config>
‍‍‍‍‍

[jakuyi]

I have no alfresco\extension folder or any file named "file-servers-custom.xml"

I'm using the 2.0 community edition.. and have no skills with Alfresco or Tomcat

[finner]

ok,
I assume you're using Tomcat.
So the extension folder for Tomcat is
<TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/*.xml
In this folder you can customize the configuration of Alfresco.
Files of importance are :
custom-repository.properties
custom-hibernate-dialect.xml
file-servers-custom.xml

So to customize the file-servers.xml there needs to be a
<TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml

and in that file something similar to the follwing

<alfresco-config area="file-servers">
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
  <authenticator type="alfresco">
  </authenticator>
</config>
</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The file-servers.xml file (and all the default Alfresco configuration files) are in  <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes so you should see a file-servers.xml.

Have a look at the wiki pages below, you may have missed a step.

Some wiki pages of interest:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_and_install_Alfresco_in_Linux
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Database_Configuration
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Server_Administration_Guide



Hope this is of some help

[jakuyi]

Hi,

ok I've found that file but there's nothing like

 <authenticator type="alfresco">
  </authenticator> ‍‍

The other entrys are the same.. but one:

condition="Filesystem"‍

In the meanwhile I got a copy of a running Alfresco and tried to start it, but there's "Error ListenerStart" again.

[jakuyi]

I've found a old image of my VMware, now I can use the same Alfresco and it works 

Thanks for your help
Cheers
