Notes on the Alfresco Web Content Management Evaluation Guide

Posted on by

This walk-thru requires 3.1 Enterprise or 3.2 Community as a prerequisite. Clean install of Alfresco seems a must. Network connection is required! Sometimes you need
to restart your machine (if you see a deploy or preview task ‘freeze up’ for
example). Note: this tutorial is far more comprehensive (and usable) than the WCM Forms Quick Tutorial posted to the Wiki. I wouldn’t waste your time with that.

  1. Download the Web Content Management Evaluation Guide from:
    http://www.alfresco.com/products/ecm/enttrial/files/getting_started_with_wcm_for_enterprise3_1.pdf
  2. Add sample website to hosts file

    127.0.0.1 admin.alfrescosample.www--sandbox.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net
  3. Start Alfresco and virtual alfresco server 
    $ ./virtual_start.sh start
$ ./alf_start.sh start
  4. All files required for evaluation guide are under ${ALFRESCO INSTALL DIRECTORY}/extras/wcm
