A guide on Installing and configuring non-docker 201901GA (or any 6.x) ?

[wclemo]

I am looking for help on installing and configuring the ver 6.x ACS community edition manually. I don't want to use docker. I want to install manually via the distribution zip. All my installations attempts for various v6x versions have been unsuccessful, usually with Alfresco failing to start up successfully. I noticed that there are several setup guides on the net for previous versions but one can hardly get version 6 ones (I wonder how the uptake of ver 6 is !!). The only manual install guide I found is the script https://community.alfresco.com/community/ecm/blog/2019/02/05/a-script-to-install-alfresco-community-...  but somehow it didn't work for me. I also followed the official Alfresco guide but despite several days attempts I didn't succeed.

I must mention that java, tomcat and various apps that Alfresco uses are not my sphere. Just out of curiosity I tried the docker install and it worked "out of the box", but as I mentioned I dont want to do docker. For those who have managed to do a successful manual install, would you care to kindly share your step by step notes ?

Thanks in advance

Did you try this one?

I did try several times that but somehow could not make it work for me. It was failing during startup. Probably someone more experienced would make it work.

Also this guide can help you, it's still valid for Alfresco 6:

Thanks for this link. This is very helpful and I am already trying it out and the results seem to be very encouraging so far.
