Using non-bunlded tomcat

[mburr]

I've installed alfresco and have been using it in production with great success for a few months. I'm now in the process of trying to configure it (on a test machine) not to depend on the bundled software (mysql, openoffice, etc.) I'd like to instead use the OS-packaged version of these tools. I've been able to do this with MySQL, LibreOffice, Java, etc., but am having trouble doing so with tomcat.

Is there an easy way to configure alfresco to use a non-bundled version of tomcat? Are there instructions covering this somewhere? I've looked, but with little success.

I'm using: alfresco-community-3.4.d-installer-linux-x64.bin

On: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty). (The production machine is actually Debian 6.0.2 (squeeze))

Thanks!

Look on the developer's wiki or the installation guide.   Basically you just need to put the alfresco.war and share.war file into webapps, configure the shared class loader and add your config files.

The links in that can be helpful.
