Alfresco Deployment on Weblogic -Postgres.

Alfresco Deployment on Weblogic -Postgres.

Postgres Installation

1.Download the postgresql-8.3.exe Installer

2. Double click on the Postgresql-8.3 installer

Give the installation path as D:\postgres and click next

Uncheck the check box that you dont need to “install as service”

click next and gothrough the installation process.......

Deselect the launch prompt check box and click on finish the installation process!

Setup the Database in Postgres for Alfresco

Navigate to your Postgres installation folder copy the path upto bin ie. D:\postgres\bin and open command prompt and change directory to D:\postgres\bin and run the initdb -D d:\postgres\data command....

then run pg_ctl start -D d:\postgres\data command

If the below error occurs then you have to check and stop the alfresco tomcat services from your machine.. Seems some other app is consuming the port!??

After ensuring the port is valid to go, you can run that command again in command prompt:-- pg_ctl start -D d:\postgres\data and start the postgres server.

After this you have to run createuser -P -s -e alfresco to create user in alfresco. Give password as alfresco and confirm the password.

Now you type pgAdmin3.exe in console and hit Enter.

You will see the below screen.

Next step:------

Alfresco Deployment in Weblogic

Download the weblogic archive and extract it to your C:\bea

Download and extract the alfresco-enterprise-ear-4.0.2.zip file.

Extract alfresco-enterprise-4.0.2.9.ear file from the archive and extract it again to “alfresco-enterprise-4.0.2.9\”.

If you open, inside alfresco-enterprise-ear-4.0.2.9 folder there will be two files - share.war and alfresco.war and a Meta-inf folder

Rename them as share.war.tmp and alfresco.war.tmp.

Now right click on share.war.tmp and try to Extract to “share.war\” and also on alfresco.war.tmp and to extract to “alfresco.war\”.

Create a folder 'alfrescobea' in D drive and inside which create two folders ear and repository

Copy the folders alfresco.war, share.war, and META-INF into ear folder.

Now go to C:\bea\wlserver_10.3\common\bin and run config.cmd

which will open that below screen

change the domain name as alf_domain.

Give the password as weblogic1.

Now go to C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain inside that create a folder called alfresco,and inside that create a folder called extension and put the license file into that.

Next you go to the D:\alfrescobea\ear\alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes and copy the alfresco-global.properties.sample file and paste it in the C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain.Then rename that file as alfresco-global.properties. Open it in notepad ++ and add this line

db.pool.statements.enable=false into alfresco-global.properties file,and uncomment these lines

dir.root=d:/alfrescobea/repository

db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco

db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/alfresco

alfresco.rmi.services.host=0.0.0.0

Then go to C:\Alfresco\tomcat\lib copy that postgresql-9.0-802.jdbc4.jar file into C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain\lib.

Now open the C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain\config and open config.xml file and add

<enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>false</enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials> before

the end of the </security-configuration> section.

Go to C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain\bin and open setDomainEnv.cmd file in notepad++ and modify

MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE="-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_64BIT="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_32BIT="-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

set WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m -Xmx2048m

set WLS_MEM_ARGS_32BIT=-Xms256m -Xmx1024m

(in if part and also else part you have to do the modification)

set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% %enableHotswapFlag% -ea -da:com.bea... -da:javelin... -da:weblogic... -ea:com.bea.wli... -ea:com.bea.broker... -ea:com.bea.sbconsole... -Dweblogic.disableMBeanAuthorization=true” in if part

set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% %enableHotswapFlag% -da -Dweblogic.disableMBeanAuthorization=true” (in else part)

set PRE_CLASSPATH=%EXT_PRE_CLASSPATH%;%PRE_CLASSPATH%;C:/bea/user_projects/domains/alf_domain (in if part)

set PRE_CLASSPATH=%EXT_PRE_CLASSPATH%;C:/bea/user_projects/domains/alf_domain (in else part)

go to location C:\bea\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager.If you find that inside nodemanager folder there is no nodemanager.properties file then you have to create it.for creating that just go to that particularlocation in commamd prompt that is:-- C:\bea\wlserver_10.3\server\bin and run that startNodeManager.cmd.which will create the nodemanager.properties file.After that we have to modify two things insde nodemanager.properties file.they are...

1.SecureListener=false

2.StartScriptEnabled=true

Starting the server

1. Start the domain admin server.

To do that you have to go to cmd and then go to path C:\bea\user_projects\domains\alf_domain and run startWebLogic.cmd.

Open a web browser and log in to the admin server (for example, at http://localhost:7001/console) with the credentials that you specified while installing Weblogic.

username: weblogic

password: weblogic1

You will see the below screen and on the left corner you will find environment.

Expand it and click on Machines. Then create a machine with the details of the machine running the domain. This will allow the node manager to control servers on that machine.
