hi,

this is what i've done at the moment.

I'm running Fedora Core 5 and here is my software

[root@fedora alfresco]#  rpm -qa | grep tomcat
tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-jasper-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc
tomcat5-webapps-5.5.15-1jpp_6fc

[root@fedora alfresco]#  rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-server-5.0.18-2.1
mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-3
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-1.2.1
php-mysql-5.1.2-5
mysql-5.0.18-2.1
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.1
mysql-devel-5.0.18-2.1
mysql-bench-5.0.18-2.1

and i've downloaded j2ee and started the server.

i can go to the admin login screen at http://localhost:4848 or the webapp interface at http://locahost:8080

Now after that i'm lost …

What do i download?

   alfresco-1.2.1-linux-community.bin
     alfresco-1.2.1-windows-community.exe
     alfresco-jboss-1.2.1.tar.gz
     alfresco-jboss-1.2.1.zip
     alfresco-src-1.2.1.zip
     alfresco-tomcat-1.2.1.tar.gz
     alfresco-tomcat-1.2.1.zip
     alfresco-war-1.2.1.zip

???? I've downloaded each of them and i've read all the README.txt's and I still can't figure it out.

where do I put it, install it, access it from???

Any help would be great!

Hello,

Do you plan on using your own Tomcat?

If so, you will want to do a war deploy into that Tomcat - use the  alfresco-war-1.2.1.zip file for that.
(You will need to ensure that the MySQL connector is placed into tomcat/common/lib)

If you are not bothered about using your own Tomcat, use the  alfresco-tomcat-1.2.1.tar.gz file or if you want to use Jboss Portal use the  alfresco-jboss-1.2.1.tar.gz file.
(Untar these to where ever you like, e.g. following the 'Install Alfresco Tomcat Bundle' section of the README to /opt/alfresco, then follow the 'Create Database' section of the README. Optionally install OpenOffice if it is not already installed [this is recommended], then follow the 'Running the Alfresco Server' section of the README).

If you want everything done for you, use the full 'everything you need' bitrock install that contains pre-configured MySQL, OpenOffice, JDK, Tomcat and Alfresco -  alfresco-1.2.1-linux-community.bin.
(see here for install info: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Linux_Quik_install)
