Manual Installtion alfresco 5.0.c

[chrisk]

I am experiencing problems to do a manual installation from the alfresco-community-5.0.c.zip file on Windows Server 2008. I have an instance of Tomcat and Postgres SQL running other web apps.
So I extracted the alfresco-community-5.0.c.zip file into my downloads folder. I don't see a Root.war file in the extracted folders. There is only alfresco.war, share.war and solr4.war.I copied these war files to my tomcat webapps folder and launched tomcat. It seems like tomcat did deploy the war files and created the folders for alfresco, share, and solr4. When I try to open the alfresco folder from my browser it does not open.
Can you please assist me with this install?

Angel, the problem is that the "Installing Alfresco on Tomcat" doc indicates that alfresco-community-5.0.c.zip contains a ROOT.war file, but It's not true… I've the same problem…

ROOT.war is not part of alfresco, it's a default webapp from Tomcat. If you don't find it on your Tomcat it doesn't matter.

alfresco.war, share.war and solr4.war must be deployed to tomcat/webapps
"shared" folder must be copied to tomcat root folder
endorsed and lib JAR files must be copied to endorsed and lib in tomcat

And you have to configure access to alf_data folder (you can copy it anywhere) in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
