Hi,

I have installed Alfresco community version v3.4 in my C: drive and would like to have the repository in the 😧 drive. Is this possible?

Further, I tried to change the Login page logo by altering /projects/web-client/source/web/jsp/login.jsp, restarted tomcat, deleted the catalina folder but to no avail.
Is there somewhere else that I need to change?

tx,
sg

Yes you can easily move your repository.

There's a property in alfresco-global.properties called dir.root that says where the repo is.

Shut down alfresco.
Copy the content.
Cange dir.root to point to the new location.
Start Alfresco.
After it starts up successfully, delete the old content.

As for the second part of your question - you need to give more details. For example which catalina files did you delete and how and where did you change a JSP?

Hi,

In which drive do you have to delete the old content, is it the C:/alfresco/alf_data or the the one you pointing the content to?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answers!

I removed the entire Catalina folder and restarted Alfresco. Regarding the JSP, I edited the Login.jsp located under C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp

I edited the line -> "<body bgcolor="#ffffff" style="background-image: url(<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/logo/ic.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed">
" And "<img src='<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/logo/ic.gif' width=300 height=53 alt="Alfresco" title="Alfresco">"

Substituted the PNG image with ic.gif.

You probably need to put tomcat into "development mode" to get it to reload your JSPs. You should turn that off for production.

Not sure what you mean by Development mode. Do I need to edit the WAR file?

Shouldnt this be a simple task? All I am trying to do is change the logo!

Now, I cam really in trouble. Edited the WAR file and tried deploying again. Now, not only has the logo still not changed, I cant login anymore. I get a message "The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized." and in the log I see "WARN : org.alfresco.wcm.client.util.impl.GuestSessionFactoryImpl - WQS unable to connect to repository: Not Found"

Never thought changing a logo would give me so much headache

Any last ideas before I reintall everything? Still hv no clue on how to change the logo.

What site?

Haleluiah! Found the solution.

Other than editing JSP pages, the new logo should be placed under share\themes\default\images directory and voila..

Nothing like spending 5 hours to change a logo
