Missing instructions to install from WAR

[javydreamercsw]

Followed the README_war.txt inastructions but had to make additional stuff to make it run.

Here are the additional steps:

1. Copy the alf_data,bin, licences folders and the  README* files (from the zip) to <tomcat home>\

2. Copy the contents of extensions folder from the zip to <tomcat home>\shared\classes

Now for the pending errors I'll need some help:

 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.magick.AbstractImageMagickContentTransformer] ImageMagickContentTransformer not available: Failed to perform ImageMagick transformation: 
Execution result: 
   os:         Windows XP
   command:    imconvert "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\temp\Alfresco\ImageMagickContentTransformer_init_source_21251.gif"  "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\temp\Alfresco\ImageMagickContentTransformer_init_target_21252.png"
   succeeded:  false
   exit code:  1
   out:        
   err:        Cannot run program "imconvert": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The files mentioned in the error are exactly where the error says.

Any help is more than welcomed!

Hi,

In the README_war.txt documentation, it is written :

"
==================
Image Manipulation
==================

To enable image manipulation on a Windows platform, the 'imconvert.exe' in
'C:\alfresco\bin' needs to be copied into a folder on the system path, such as 'C:\windows\system32'.
"

Unfortunately, the imconvert.exe is not provided in the alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.zip file but you can find it in the alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.zip file.

I hope it will fix your issue.

I'm currently trying also to install the war distribution of the community distribution and have still some problems..


All the best,

Yves Ludwig

I;ll try the fix you mention and let you know. Please don't misunderstand me, I got my war distribution working just the image thingy error.

If you describe the errors I might help.

Here's the final missing step:

Copy the file <alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0 unzip location>\bin\imconvert.exe to a place into a folder on the system path, such as 'C:\windows\system32'

Here's the final missing step:

Copy the file <alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0 unzip location>\bin\imconvert.exe to a place into a folder on the system path, such as 'C:\windows\system32'

I had to obtain that file from the full download. I could not find it in the Community download.
