How to configure and test ASR, FSR on linux local machine?

[pawanawaits]

Hello,

Can any body tell me how can I configure ASR FSR on linux based environment. and testing process also.
I found the configuration for FSR and tried it. but could not configure the deploy_start.sh comes with the alfresco-enterprise-deployment2.2.0.zip. it seems that configuration doesn't find the properties file.

For ASR I didn't find any good document to which I can follow and test it.

I also want to know:
if we need an ASR and FSR deployed on each live production web server if the authoring server with Alfresco deployment  is on a separate server.
Please answer me. it is realy urgent.

thanks!

ASR is built into the Alfresco server. So just do an Alfresco server installation.

With regards to figuring out which one to deploy, ASR or FSR; well that depends on the architecture of your web application.

I have done the slfresco installation.
what are the configurations I need to do to make it working and testing.

Assuming you have two Alfresco installations (one your authoring server and the other the ASR) see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Deployment_Features_22#Multi-server_Deployment on how to configure the authoring server to deploy to the ASR.

Can you please elaborate more about authoring server and other ASR servers?

Typical Alfresco WCM implementations involve

a) One Authoring Server - An Alfresco installation with WCM which will be used by your content authors to create content.
b) One or more ARS or FSR or both installed on separated servers. Content and other assets will be "deployed" to the ASR / FSR. These will be used to server content to your end users.

This separates the content creation (which is largely content writing by small group of users) from content delivery (which is largely content reading by large number of users). This is a more scalable approach that having everything in one installation.

See the wiki more further details: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Content_Management. There are webniars with demos you might find useful.
