Please anyone assist me on connecting fileserver with alfresco...

[prodapt]

Kindly assist me with step by step integration of fileserver with alfresco. If anyone already done it, kindly explain with an example.

[afaust]

You need to provide a bit more detail as to "how" you want to integrate the fileserver with Alfresco. Do you want to use it to store the files managed in Alfresco, do you want to import/export some files or should Alfresco "just" expose existing files without really touching them?

[prodapt]

Thank you Axel for spending time to reply. Regarding your question I actually want to use it to store the files managed in Alfresco. Kindly assist me with step by step integration process.

[afaust]

In that case it usually is pretty simple. Mount the file server as a filesystem into the operating system and configure the dir.root property in alfresco-global.properties to point to that filesystem / mount directory to store Alfresco managed content on the file server.

[prodapt]

Thank you Axel. I tried what you have told and when I'm trying to connect alfresco it is saying as "Cannot find alfresco repository". Please find attachment for further reference. Please assist me regarding this issue. I have tried in both mac and windows machine, still facing the same issue.

[afaust]

Please provide any output from logs that have been printed at the time you attempted to access the system. Without that other people can only speculate...

[prodapt]

Please find log messages.

[afaust]

First of all you can simply attach files instead of copying their contents. Second of all that is the SOLR log that just states that Alfresco is not available. We'd need the alfresco.log to hopefully understand why it didn't start.

[prodapt]

Thanks Axel. I didn't understand the line "simply attach files instead of copying their contents" ?. For example I have multiple file servers which contains 10TB of data, I want to create, edit, give permissions to particular folder in alfresco. I'm trying to connect my local filesystem with alfresco(Second part of answer which you have told as "after mounting file server as filesystem"). Something like in "C:/" drive where all folders and files should be visible in alfresco. If I'm going wrong, please assist me.

In alfresco.log error was invalid keystore file, so I generated a keystore in a custom path something like "C:/documents/test_fileserver/keystore/alfresco.keystore". So I gave the path in "dir.root" as "dir.root=C:/documents/test_fileserver/keystore/alfresco.keystore"  and in "dir.keystore" as "dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore" in alfresco-global-properties.

Then I got error which is "11090001 Ensure that the 'dir.root' property '/Users/macuser006/Documents/test_fileserver' is pointing to the correct data location". Please assist me if I'm doing wrong. Please find alfresco log messages.

"simply attach files instead of copying their contents" => attach log files to this thread instead of copying log output from the files into this thread. Otheriwse it will quickly become unbearable to read / follow.

You should not change "dir.root" to point to a different keystore. "dir.root" must always point  to where the contentstore is contained in. Simply change "dir.keystore" to use an absolute path or include all the path fragments relative to "dir.root" there.

When you use a custom keystore you will most likely also have to change configuration in the keystore password properties file so the keystore can actually be read. I used "likely" because if you have used identical password and settings for the keystore than that is not the case.
