Query regarding Virtual Server of Alfresco

[krishna]

Hi,
I need to ask about virtualization server.
I had a website. I deployed it on alfresco tomcat. To preview the website, i need to start my virtual server.
Now i have installed my website project to a standalone tomcat by copying alfresco.war and other lib files and shared folder in the standalone tomcat.

Now when i start this tomcat, alfresco works.
My question is when il say "Preview Website", wont i need Virtualization Server to be started..??
And when i try to deploy this in production, will i need two servers?? 1 for tomcat and another for Virtualization Server??

please help.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,

Please help its urgent.

The "preview website" feature is intended for the workflow of WCM content (review and approval).   You don't use preview on a production website.

Once content is approved then you should be looking at deploying the web content from the staging sandbox to an ASR or FSR rather than using the virtualisation server.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I have deployed the alfresco website in Standalone tomcat. But there Company home is not coming and while I am trying to go further, I am getting Java heap scope error.

Any suggestion is appreciated.



Thanks,
Krishna.

Could you provide further details of your "Java Heap Scope Error"?     

At minimum please paste in the text of the error message and a stacktrace if there is one available.

Hi,
My heap space error got resolved. I have deployed Alfresco in Stand alone tomcat. But without starting of virtual server of Alfresco, Preview Website is not working. Is there any other way to Preview Website without starting of Virtual Server of Alfresco in Stand alone Tomcat.


Any suggestion is appreciated.

You can't use the virtualisation server without Alfresco since it uses an Alfresco repository.

What you can do is deploy your content to either a file system (for static content) or a another instance of Alfresco (for dynamic content).

Hi,

Thank for your reply.

I used alfresco server and virtual server for preview website. I deployed in standalone server and I can preview the website using virtual server. But the problem is, often there is an java heap space error error. Can you provide any solution for this.

yvinodh.
