Problem installing 3.2r on centos 5.4...

[butlerm1977]

Hey there, i'm following the directions on this page…

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Community_3.2r_WAR_on_Centos_5.4

Couple of things…

[fixed] - found this at: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u17/index.html
1.  I was unable to find the jdk-6u17-linux-x64-rpm.bin from sun's download site.  I used jdk-6u18-linux-i586-rpm.bin instead (changing %define buildver 18).  Everything seemed to run ok.  Is it acceptable to use Update 18 instead of 17?
[root@alfie alfresco]# java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode, sharing)

[partially fixed by manually exploding from post below]
2.  When I get to the following command, i get an error.
[root@alfie classes]# mv /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco-global.properties.sample /var/lib/tomcat5/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco-global.properties.sample': No such file or directory

[root@alfie webapps]# pwd
/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps
[root@alfie webapps]# ls
alfresco.war

Did I miss the command that would have populated that directory?

Thanks!!!

Alfresco.war gets exploded automatically when you start up tomcat.

Do the following to manually expand it.

cd /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/
mkdir alfresco
cd alfresco
jar xvf ../alfresco.war

Would this problem of .war not exploding, be caused by the wrong version of JDK?  I could not find jdk-6u17-linux-i586-rpm.bin on sun's website and went with update 18 instead.  Is there a alternate source or direct link to that file?

[butlerm1977]

the .WAR still does not automatically expand.  I finally found the jdk-6u17 rpm and (freshly) installed, but when i'm trying to copy the alfresco-global.properties from the /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/ directory, it cannot find anything beyond the webapps (which contains the alfresco.war file).  I can follow the directions below to manually explode it, but shouldn't this happen automatically?

By the way, i'm now using CentOS x64 5.4 with jdk-6u17-linux-x64-rpm.bin.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Currently my /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 consists of:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1g -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"

[butlerm1977]

Hey!  Success!  I just modified /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 to move the heap initial size to 512 and max to 640.  After that, all is working, alfresco.log file created and logged into Alfesco on port 8080.

Before:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1g -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"

AfteR:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms512M -Xmx640m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"
