Custom installation.
Install in C:\Alfresco\LibreOffice\.
Leave defaults (desktop link apart).
C:\Alfresco\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe
LibreOffice will start.
Lets discuss about tuning. Alfresco requires that Office runs headless as a
hidden process. To do that:
C:\Alfresco\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe "-accept=socket,host=loca
lhost,port=8101;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" -nologo -headless
To check the Office processes: open the task manager where there are
two different processes called soffice.exe *32 and soffice.bin *32.
Select soffice.exe *32 and terminate the process. Also the other will be
terminated.

What permission level do you give the alfresco user? Or to ask another
way, which security group(s) is the user a member of?

27/06/2013 at 17:15
Hi Orion,
I usually add the alfresco user to the sudoers to correctly install
everything is necessary.
I usually create the alfresco user with the default alfresco group
without specific permits.
Hope this help you.

Thank you for your quick response.
But you stated In this tutorial I use a brand new Windows Server 2008 R2
Standard 64bit installation with a user called alfresco, different from the
Administrator user. Connected as alfresco user:
So, this is about installing on a windows server, correct? So when you
create a new user called Alfresco, it will be a member of a windows
security groupso my question is, what should it be a member of?

Hi Orion,
I apologize but I thought this tutorial was the one on the Linux
platform so I gave you the wrong answer for the Windows platform.
SOrry for this.
Back to your question: in our cases we set the alfresco user as
Administrator type but we avoid to use the default Administrator
user.
Let me know if you find or set the user in a different way and
Alfresco runs fine.

Hi, Francesco
Thanks for the great document: its very helpful. Im far enough along that
Im trying to resolve the Win32NetBIOSx64 issue. I dont seem to be able
to find a copy of this file as a result of unpacking the Alfresco 4.2.c WAR
zip file, or in our Tomcat-7 stuff. Can you provide any additional
information about this guy or how to disable the need for it in Alfresco-
global.properties, please?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Don,
Thank you for your feedback.
I suggest you to find the dll and use it in the way the installation
needs.
You can find it in the alfrescos zip file in the bin directory.
Alternatevely there are several websites containing it, for example:
http://fossies.org/linux/www/alfresco/alfresco-community-
4.2.c.zip/index_st.html
If you will not find it, let me know and Ill send you by email.
I hope this help you.

Hi, again, Francesco
Thanks for the speedy reply, and for reminding me of the
zip file. I had unpacked the WAR file from it several weeks
ago and had then dismissed the zip file.
Ive been putting together a document like yours for a few
weeks now, and just saw yours yesterday. After reading
yours, I doubt theres much that you dont already know.
Still, one thing that I learned when trying to address our
SSL needs for our Alfresco server is to create the Tomcat
servers certificate request with a Subject Alternative
Name (SAN) entry: this allows users to specify the
alfresco severs URL as, say,
https://alfrescoServer.yourCompany.com/alfresco or
https://alfrescoServer/alfresco without annoying the
browser. Perhaps you already knew this as well, but I hope
it may be some return for what youve provided.
In any case, thanks for the great document: it was very
helpful to me.

Hi Francesco
Great Article. How do you setup Tomcat so it runs as a service and does
not get killed when the alfresco user logs out i.e. how do you change the
user to a system user?
Have you ever setup Alfresco using MySQL DB?
Thanks Mark

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding your first question: even if you run alfresco from a
command line, when you logout as alfresco user, the tomcat still
continue to work correctly.
If you want to do something like service alfresco start to run
alfresco you can edit a new file /etc/init.d/alfresco with this
content:
#!/bin/sh -e
ALFRESCO_SCRIPT=/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh
if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
su alfresco ${ALFRESCO_SCRIPT} start
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
su alfresco ${ALFRESCO_SCRIPT} stop
elif [ "$1" = "restart" ]; then
su alfresco ${ALFRESCO_SCRIPT} stop
su alfresco ${ALFRESCO_SCRIPT} start
else
echo Usage: /etc/init.d/alfresco [start|stop|restart]
fi
In production environment, please remember to put the service
alfresco start in the rc.local file.
Regarding the second question, about MySql, of course yes!
Alfresco works perfectly even with MySql.
The approach to scripts/services/installation are exactly the same
of the article but with custom commands for the different database
and few different configurations for it.
Hope this will help you.

Hi Franseco Corti i had some question about cifs on windows 7, so i had a
problem when i trying to access the cifs it need authentication user and
password but when i insert the password and username i got that the
authentication failed, do i need to copy Win32NetBIOSx64.dll to system32
since i install alfresco not community but enterprise?
and if its not what should i configure so i could use cifs on windows 7?
because i red on alfresco forum they said i should uninstall file and printer
sharing what do you think?

20/02/2014 at 10:07
Hi Leon,
The dll is requested in both the edition (Community and
Enterprise).
Did you investigate on the alfresco-global.properties file?
I suggest you to post a request on the Alfresco forum.

4.2.zip file.
Can you please tell me is it possible to setup enterprise edition the same
way?
If yes, can you please help me with that?
Thanks in advance

Hi Monendra,
Im happy you find the tutorial useful.
You can download the zip file for the Enterprise distribution in the
partners section of Alfresco otherwise you are not authorize to use
and install it (except for a trial of 30 days).
Cheers.

hi Francesco, thank you for this informative tut.
I am having issue with the browser, it looks something to do with the CSS
but I am not sure. when I open the admin dashboard (using Chrome &
Mozilla) the half of my Dashboard button in the top left corner is missing
plus when I am resizing the page its not showing any horizontal scroll bar
which make the page contents looks like pasta with white sauce.
i am using community edition 4.2
any suggestions ?
thanks
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
The Alfresco community edition is certified on a (very) limited
stack. Even if the presentation is quite old, you can take a look
here (slide 15): http://www.slideshare.net/alfresco/ecm-decision-
matrix-deciding-between-alfresco-community-edition-alfresco-
enterprise-edition-and-traditional-proprietary-ecm.
And even if the Alfresco CE is certified, some bugs could be
possible (slide 11).
Summarizing I didnt find the problem you tell me into my
(several) installations of Alfresco CE 4.2 but it could depend on
your exact version installed (4.2.a, 4.2.c, 4.2.f, ecc.).
You cannot tollerate this? The only and final answer is: get the
Enterprise Edition!

Hi,
I would like to develop a new version of the tutorial but you can
suppose the steps are more or less the same.
Please, share the precise steps once you test into your
environment so other people could benefit.
Thank you for contribution.

Francesco thank you for the post. I am facing an issue though.
In the last step during the execution of the command alfresco.bat.start i
get an error ermSize is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
Do you guess why I am facing this issue?
Thanks!

Hi Alexis,
Probably you typed wrongly the permsize parameter.
Please, double check in the script.

Hi Francesco Corti
thanks for the installation guide.
I did install it on windows 7 using the lateset alfresco community 5 version.
everything works fine except the startup time it takes in the browser.
when i launch http://localhost:8080/share or alfresco first time it takes
about 4 minutes to start .My Java_OPTS are set to 512 and 768 .
My Pc has 4 gb ram .what will make it faster .

Hi Rida,
Nice test for this tutorial!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Regarding your question: Alfresco is always a little bit slow during
the startup and the very first time it takes more time because of the
database setup.
So, my first suggestion is to measure the startup time in the
second time, not before.
In every case, if you want to make the startup faster, you can set
up:
-Xmx3G -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
(you can take a look at https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JVM_Tuning)
Cheers,
