Alfresco
Please note there is now a TKLPatch for Alfresco 3.3g available from the TKL forums here.
I Daniel Serodio have started work on an Alfresco appliance. I'll be posting my installation notes here, and after I've reached a usable installation I plan on making a TKLPatch.
Since Turnkey Linux is based off Ubuntu 8.04.3 at this time, there's no Ubuntu (or Debian) package for Alfresco, so I'm doing a "manual" install from the Alfresco-Community-3.2r2-Linux-x86-Install package.
I thought using the Turnkey Tomcat Appliance would be a good start, but Alfresco 3.2 needs Tomcat 6, so I uninstalled Tomcat 5.5 from Turnkey and used the bundled Tomcat 6 from Alfresco.
First, I created a VM with 1024 MB RAM (Java is memory hungry) from Turnkey Linux Tomcat.
Then I installed gnupg (apparently needed to add the GPG key from byobu's PPA repository):
apt-get install gnupg Then I installed byobu from its PPA repository. First, I created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/byobu.list with the following contents:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/byobu/ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/byobu/ppa/ubuntu hardy main Then I installed the public key, then byobu itself
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F430BBA5 apt-get update apt-get install byobu byobu-extra I found that Alfresco 3.2 needs Tomcat 6, so I had to uninstall the ubuntu package
apt-get remove --purge tomcat5.5 I replaced Ubuntu's default GCJ with Sun's Java 6:
apt-get install sun-java6-sdk update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac Installed MySQL to be used by Alfresco
apt-get install mysql-server Installed OpenOffice, ImageMagick and pdf2swf
apt-get install openoffice.org-headless openoffice.org-java-common imagemagick swftools Created /etc/init.d/openoffice.org with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash # Boot open office so that Alfresco can do transforms. # # Based on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Runnin..._From_Terminal # and adapted for Ubuntu Linux by Daniel Serodio # # chkconfig: 2345 55 25 # description: OpenOffice Headless # # processname: soffice # source function library . /lib/lsb/init-functions RETVAL=0 SOFFICE_PATH='/usr/bin' SOFFICE_ARGS1="-nofirststartwizard -nologo -headless " SOFFICE_ARGS2='-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager' SOFFICE_PIDFILE=/var/run/soffice.bin.pid start() { log_begin_msg "Starting OpenOffice.org" $SOFFICE_PATH/soffice $SOFFICE_ARGS1 $SOFFICE_ARGS2 >/dev/null 2>&1 & log_end_msg $? pidof soffice.bin > $SOFFICE_PIDFILE echo } stop() { log_begin_msg "Stopping OpenOffice.org" kill $(cat $SOFFICE_PIDFILE) log_end_msg $? } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac I unpacked the installation file in /opt and renamed the resulting directory from Alfresco to alfresco (lowercase folder names are easier to type).
Then I fixed Alfresco's shell scripts:
perl -pi -e "s|\@\@ALFRESCO_HOME\@\@|/opt/alfresco" /opt/alfresco/*.sh perl -pi -e "s|\@\@JAVA_HOME\@\@|/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" /opt/alfresco/*.sh Then I changed the location of Alfresco's data files from /opt/alfresco/alt_data to /srv/alfresco and setup Imagemagick and pdf2swf install locations, by editing /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties:
perl -pi -e "s|^#?dir_root.*$|dir_root=/srv/alfresco|" /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties perl -pi -e "s|^#?img_root.*$|img_root=/usr|" /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties perl -pi -e "s|^#?swf.exe.*$|swf.exe=/usr/bin/swf2exe|" /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
