Install Alfresco Community 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 (Fixed)

Опубликовано: 28.07.2014 | Автор: Николай

This document shows how to install Alfresco 4.2 on an Ubuntu 12.10 system. (This is an update to my prior document that had a few issues that prevented some parts of alfresco from working correctly... Mainly renditions and thumbnails)

I am creating a virtual server for this that has 3.75 GiB of Memory

Installing Java 7

Here are the commands to install Java 7 from Ubuntu 12.04 server.

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
java -version

Install Tomcat 7 ( a lot of this was derived from http://jensontaylor.blogspot.com/2010/09/manually-installing-tomcat-7-on-ubuntu.html)

Download tomcat 7 to the local directory (this address could change see [urlspan] https://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi[/urlspan] [2])

wget http://apache.osuosl.org/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.35/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.35.tar.gz

Extract the file

tar xvzf apache-tomcat-7.0.35.tar.gz

Move the tomcat over

sudo mv apache-tomcat-7.0.35 /opt/tomcat

Now set up the tomcat users.

sudo vi /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Add the following lines within the <tomcat-users> element (of course change the password to your own password)

<user name="admin" password="password"

roles="admin-gui, manager-gui,

manager-script, admin-script" />

Fix the connector,

sudo vi +70 /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml

And add this to the connector

URIEncoding="UTF-8"

Set up start up script

sudo vi /etc/init.d/tomcat

Then place the following in it. (adjust the jvm to the directory you have it in)

# Tomcat auto-start

# description: Auto-starts tomcat

# processname: tomcat

# pidfile: /var/run/tomcat.pid

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

case $1 in

start)

sh /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

;;

stop)

sh /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

;;

restart)

sh /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

sh /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

;;

esac

exit 0

Make it executable

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat

Add it to autostart

sudo update-rc.d tomcat defaults

Reboot to test auto start of tomcat

sudo reboot now

Now open up a web browser (of course use your IP address, domain name)

http://192.168.0.231:8080

You Should see…

Change memory settings for tomcat

sudo vi /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

Add the following line

This gives it 2GiB to use, you may need to change it to your system

JAVA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=160m -XX:NewSize=256m -Xms512m «

JAVA_OPTS=»$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx2048m -Xss512K "

Restart tomcat

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat restart

Open up http://192.168.0.231:8080/manager/status to check the memory settings

Here you can see here that it does have 2GiB of max memory (roughly)

Install/Setup MySQL

Install mysql on this server

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

For the root password set it to “mysqlpassword”

Log into mysql

mysql -u root -p -h localhost

Run this command in mysql to create alfresco user and to give it alfresco access

> CREATE USER 'alfresco'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passalfresco';

> CREATE USER 'alfresco'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'passalfresco';

> grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'%' identified by 'passalfresco' with grant option;

> create database alfresco default character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;

> exit

Restart mysql

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

Create Alfresco Folder

Make a alfresco folder

sudo mkdir /alfresco

Download Install Alfresco

Some of the notes I used for this are at

[urlspan]https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_and_install_Alfresco_in_Linux[/urlspan]
[3]

Download the installer (this address will change over time) but you can probably be safe going to [urlspan]https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_and_Install_Alfresco[/urlspan] [4]

or [urlspan]https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_file_list_4.2.c[/urlspan]

cd
mkdir alfresco
cd alfresco
wget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-04576/alfresco-community-4.2.c.zip

sudo apt-get install unzip

If you do not have unzip install it.

unzip file

unzip alfresco-community-4.2.c.zip

Open up the tomcat web pageInstall alfresco.war and share.war on tomcat

http://192.168.0.231:8080/manager/html

Then enter

Context Path

/alfresco

War Directory

/home/username/alfresco/web-server/webapps/alfresco.war

Click Deploy

It will deploy but fail to start (which is fine)

Now do the same for share.war

Then enter

Context Path

/share

War Directory

/home/username/alfresco/web-server/webapps/share.war

Click Deploy

Download and install mysql connector, it can be found at [urlspan]https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/[/urlspan] [5]

cd
wget http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.22.zip
unzip mysql-connector-java-5.1.22.zip
cd mysql-connector-java-5.1.22/
cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar /opt/tomcat/lib/

Set up the shared directory

cd
cd alfresco/web-server
sudo cp -r shared /opt/tomcat/

Set Global Properties

Alfresco requires some additional installs to work. Alfresco out of the box uses a few other tools like OpenOffice and ImageMagick.

Some of this was gleamed from [urlspan]http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-alfresco-community-3.3-on-ubuntu-server-10.04-lucid-lynx [/urlspan][6]

First update your repository information

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:guilhem-fr/swftools
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
sudo apt-get update

Install these via apt-get

sudo apt-get install imagemagick swftools libjodconverter-java ffmpeg ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Copy these sample files to .xml files (it will allow the creation of thumbnails for videos)

cd /opt/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/

sudo cp video-thumbnail-context.xml.sample video-thumbnail-context.xml

sudo cp video-transformation-context.xml.sample video-transformation-context.xml

Edit the /opt/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties file

sudo vi +74 /opt/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

Updated shared.loader to the following

In the /opt/tomcat/shared/classes directory there is an alfresco-global.properties.sample folder. Rename it

cd /opt/tomcat/shared/classes

sudo cp alfresco-global.properties.sample alfresco-global.properties

sudo vi alfresco-global.propertiesNow edit this file

Here is the file I made, Make sure to edit the mail.* portion to an email account you have. (new in ubuntu 12.04 open office is now libreoffice)

Reboot the server

sudo reboot now

It may take a while for alfresco to come up and set up the database the first time. What I do is log back into the system them tail the tomcat log to see if alfresco is starting correctly, and for when it is done (in my case it took 2 ½ minutes)

sudo tail -f /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

See the server startup message.

Logged in as admin and added new users

Open up

http://192.168.0.231:8080/alfresco

The default login is

User = admin

Password = admin

I always first change the admin password from the default just to make sure. To do this…

Click on User Profile

Click on Change password

Enter new password and click Finish

Click on Manage System Users

Click Create New User

In my case I created a user called patman

Click next

Enter a password and Click Finish

Now add the user to the admin group.

Click on Administration Console
Click on manage User Groups

Click on Show all then click add user in the Alfresco_Adminstrators

Search for user, select user then click add.

Finally click on OK

Now this user is an admin.

Log out and log back in as the user you just made and gave admin rights to.

Make sure this user can log into the Share site as well.

Open up

http://192.168.0.231:8080/share/

There you have it. An installed 4.2 Alfresco/Share site on Ubuntu 12.04.
