AlfrescoWiki: Blog Publishing User Guide

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

Note: These are terrible instructions – no security or any set up in regards to
making upgrades easy. But this gets you up and running fast.

1. Prerequisites: JDK 5.x, MySQL 5.x
2. First, insure there is no pre-existing alfresco database

   $ mysql -u root -p <ENTER> <ENTER>
   mysql> drop database alfresco;
   mysql> exit
   $ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop {Enter OSX admin password} <ENTER>
   $ sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start

3. Create the directory you are going to install alfresco into

   $ mkdir /opt/alfresco

4. Download and extract Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOSXInstall.tar.gz from Alfresco

   $ tar xvf Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOSXInstall.tar.gz 

5. Run the installer

   $ ./Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOSXInstall

6. Choose defaults until destination folder. Override that and select /opt/alfresco
7. When dialog asks for root password, leave blank, it is referring to MySQL
   root password. When you click Next it will inform you that database
   creation was successful.
8. After finishing, using terminal cd to the directory Alfresco was installed into:

   $ cd /opt/alfresco

9. Fire it up:

   $ ./alf_start.sh start

10. Fire up the virtual server

    $./virtual_start.sh

11. First time start up can take up to 5 minutes. Give it time. Refresh
    http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ every minute or so and then you should get the
    default dashboard. Username/password admin/admin.
12. When finished, shut ‘er down.

    $ ./alf_stop.sh

13. The virtual server too

    $./virtual_stop.sh
