Hello,

Have you looked in the folder $SERVER/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module that you have theses folders : becpg-core and becpg-project-core ?

Also, have you patched the file project-context.xml ?
You can download it in the folder patch on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/becpg-community/files/becpg-community-1_6_a/Patch/

Regards,

Salut Philippe,

Those folders are not there. I installed exactly following the instructions.
I did not apply the patch because I could not find documentation on how to apply it/where is goes.

Here is some information about what files/folders are on my system (Ubuntu 12.04)

Merci beaucoup,

If you don't have these folders then amp are not installed correctly.
Have you removed folders $SERVER/webapps/alfresco and $SERVER/webapps/share after installing amp ?

Regards,

Salut Philippe,

No, I did not remove them. When I started Alfresco, this was the folder structure:

root@c3ishare:/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module# ls -la

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 23 11:01 org.alfresco.module.vti

1 - Should I remove them?
2 - Where does the patch go?

I'll re-test and come back with the results.

Cheers,
Trevor

You don't need to remove alfresco and share webapp since amps seem to be installed.

Since you are on linux, patch is not necessary.
By the way, project-context.xml can be found under becpg-project-core (if you do a search).

Regards,

For other reasons, I had to revert to a pre-becpg install in my VM (so no becpg files/folders anywhere).
I then tried to install becpg Project, but, again - no evidence of the install.

Again, I followed the instructions exactly. Here are the steps I took:

- move appropriate core and share .amp files to amps/ and amps_share/ respectively;
- Following best-practices, I deleted $SERVER/tomcat/webapps/alfresco and $SERVER/tomcat/webapps/share directories;
- run alfresco-mmt.jar from bin and piped output to logfiles for each of the 4 .amp files;
- did "watch ls-la /opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps" while running alfresco-mmt.jar and observed that no folders were created;

Have I done anything incorrectly?

Merci,
Trevor

EDIT: I have very strange results, see below. I am unsure how to proceed from here to a working becpg project installation.

The becpg amps appear to be installed, but no folder were created as Philippe indicates that they should.

Hello,

1. Stop alfresco server.
2. Apply amps (your alfresco.war and share.war are good if we look at what "java -jar alfresco-mmt.jar list" returns)
3. Delete folders $webapps/alfresco and $webapps/share
4. Start alfresco server (it will deploy alfresco.war and share.war so folders alfresco and share will be created)

Since the date of the folder org.alfresco.module.vti is Apr 20 05:23, It seems you haven't delete alfresco folder so you need to do step 3 and 4.

Your problem is related to installing amps.

Regards,

Steps to install and start using Model Designer under Linux:

1. Copy the becfg amp files from the becfg installer's amp folder to AlfrescoInstallDirectory/apps/alfresco/amps.
2. Copy the becfg share amp files from the becfg installer's amp folder to AlfrescoInstallDirectory/apps/alfresco/share.
3. Bash execute AlfrescoInstallDirectory/apps/alfresco/apply_amps.sh from the console (I created an alternate version with a -force switch on the two installs). If there's an error because of out of order amp application, you may need to apply the becpg-share-x.x.x..amp script a second time separately, but if you made a force version, you can just apply the whole script a second time.
4. Stop the alfresco server.
5. The apply_amps script should have deleted folders $webapps/alfresco and $webapps/share from Tomcat
6. Start the alfresco server (it will deploy alfresco.war and share.war so folders alfresco and share will be created)
7. Open alfresco. If you don't see a BeCFG menu, the install didn't work.
8. From the beCFG menu, select Administration beCFG, and under Repository, select Initialize.
9. From the beCFG menu, select Model designer and start designing
