Hi All,
I was trying to migrate my documents from 3.4 CE to 5.0.d CE.
When I run a rule, on 5.0.d system, that import .acp created in 3.4 version I get this error:
....Namespace URI http://www.alfresco.org/model/website/1.0 has not been defined in the Repository dictionary)

Any idea?
Thanks!

This is the log section:

I did a bit of research and found out that my issue is related to the initialization of PostgreSQL

~$ sudo service postgresql start* Starting PostgreSQL 9.4 database server * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:2015-12-1010:09:04 BRST [2618-1] FATAL:  could not access private key file "/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key": Permission denied[fail]

~$ ls -la /etc/ssl/private-rwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 1704 Set  411:26 ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

I tried to set folder and file permissions to 0755 and few others parameters but nothing changed.

I was thinking about dropping user/tables in Postgre or even reinstall it as I have Alfresco Bart (backup) and I could try to restore it. Would the recreation of the database scheme fix the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Installed Alfresco Enterprise Edition 5.0.2.5 on Windows 8.1 Physical Machine with MS SQL 2014 Standard Server.

The above environment is on testing for client.

However, followed and made all the configurations as per documentation.

The attached error is getting generated in log.

Let me know if any one else got the same.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I have a fresh Alfresco install, running on Win2k12 R2.
Everything seems to be working great except the "Edit Online" option.

The link is showing but when I click nothing happens.
Yesterday when I first clicked the "Edit Online" I got the question if I want to give permission to start Office and I clicked Yes, but now Office 2013 is not being started at all when I click the "Edit Online" button.

Do I need to open specific ports to the server running Alfresco or is there something else?

Thanks in advance!

this page:
http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/upgrade-path.html
describes the general upgrade paths, so I understand that from 3.x to 5.x it's necessary go towards 4.x before.
For the database, the path suppose "Backing up and restoring the repository";
now, my 3.x database is MYSQL.
How I can use the mysql backup to restore in postgres 4.x database?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to do a distributed install of Alfresco in a multi-node environment for Alfresco Community 5.0.d. The load Balancing can be done for Share servers using Tomcat Replication mechanism as specified here : https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Tomcat_Session_Replication_with_Memcached .
I am planning to use a shared database between the two repo servers. SOLR indexing is also done at the repo servers.
I need to keep both my repo servers along with their SOLR indexes in sync with High Availablity .How can I achieve that in Alfresco Community 5.0.d on Linux?

Regards,
Neha

After 6 months of running fine, now when I try to navigate to Alfresco, it sits there loading for ages and when it's done, all I get is a blank page. From the base URL, it redirects to https://mydomain.com/share/page/ and the title bar says "Alfresco >> Login".

What's going on? Surely if there's an error of some sort, it should at least return that.

Hi,

I'm trying to move my production (community) alfresco system off of a physical box (with MySQL 5.7 running locally) to be part of our VM infrastructure with a remote MySQL database v5.6.

* Moving from CentOS 6.3 32bit to CentOS 7.1 64bit
* Moving from a Dell Physical Server to VM with the same specs (better hardware)

Steps followed:

* I used MySQL Workbench to export all of the 'alfresco' schema from the v5.7 server, and import it - along with the user - into the v5.6 remote DB.
* Used the correct connection string in the installation of alfresco unattended to point to the new database. Alfresco connects to the database.
* The alf_data directory was copied over to the relative path on the new server (same installation path too).

Just FYI on some lessons learned, hopefully they can help someone else.

- Even though you used IP addressed everywhere alfresco seems to want to use DNS for your hostname. Make sure your hostname appears in your hosts file ... the exceptions are a mile long but at the very end, you'll see "cannot determine .."

- There doesn't seem to be a way of not installing postgres with Alfresco's install. Even if you specify another database and provide the jar (tomcat/lib). You still need to rename/delete the postgres directory for alfresco not to go looking to start postgres.

- For "migration" the Alfresco site refers to backing up your configuration by copying the configuration folder - this seems to be out of date? I think this has been reduced to the global config file.

- Here is where I am today.

I tried adding

index.recovery.mode=FULL

to the global config file and restarting alfresco, but that did not solve the issue. I'm not using any other indexing tools. I would like to keep all history, tags, etc..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I'm almost new to Alfresco and my first task is migrating a 4.0.c on Debian 6 64bit to 5.0.d on CentOS 6.7 64bit.

I searched for documentation about general issues about backup/restore, migration paths and so on, but I'm doubtful about upgrade path.

Link http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/upgrade-path.html says that upgrades to Alfresco 5.0 are supported from only 4.x and later (+ latest Service Pack); so I guess that 4.0.c is not included in 4.x; is this true or not?

Thanks anyone for help.

Hello,
installed Alfresco with Xampp (did exactly what was written on the wiki-page (https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_3.2r2_CE_on_XAMPP#Install_XAMPP_and_the_Tomcat_addon)). Wenn I try to go to the page: http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/page/ and login with admin/admin, alfresco/alfresco, I get just errors. The installation was without GUI, I installed the zip version of alfresco (alfresco-community-5.0.d.zip - Contains Web Archive (WAR) bundles for the Alfresco repository and Share UI.)

I checked alfresco BD and find that the table "act_id_user" is empty. Maybe because of that I have such mistake? (have no ideas what exactly to write to create new user)
Anyway where I can find correct login and password?

I attached also alfresco.log file

Does anyone have experience or know of the process to convert several existing completely separate Alfresco instances into a single multi-tenacy setup? Is there a defined process to do the data migration?

In terms of details what we are looking at is:

Existing Alfresco Community 4.2.x each with separate MySQL databases on completely separate servers
Goal is to upgrade to 5.0.d and then condense to a single Alfresco server with data stored in Amazon RDS.

Thanks,
Ray

I tried adding

index.recovery.mode=FULL

to the global config file and restarting alfresco, but that did not solve the issue. I'm not using any other indexing tools. I would like to keep all history, tags, etc..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Suddenly I`m not able to shut down postgresql by the script alfresco.sh stop anymore.

Then I tried pg_ctl stop -m f , but still:
waiting for server to shut down............................................................... failed
pg_ctl.bin: server does not shut down

ps -ef results in:

In the postgresql.log is:
FATAL: the database system is shutting down

Then i tried to ill the processes but now I cannot start Alfrescos postgresql anymore:

In the postgresql.log is:
FATAL: the database system is starting up
FATAL: could not fsync file "base/1": Invalid argument

attached the alfresco.log

Please help me! Thanks.

Hello all,

I have a fresh Alfresco install, running on Win2k12 R2.
Everything seems to be working great except the "Edit Online" option.

The link is showing but when I click nothing happens.
Yesterday when I first clicked the "Edit Online" I got the question if I want to give permission to start Office and I clicked Yes, but now Office 2013 is not being started at all when I click the "Edit Online" button.

Do I need to open specific ports to the server running Alfresco or is there something else?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to do a distributed install of Alfresco in a multi-node environment for Alfresco Community 5.0.d. The load Balancing can be done for Share servers using Tomcat Replication mechanism as specified here : https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Tomcat_Session_Replication_with_Memcached .
I am planning to use a shared database between the two repo servers. SOLR indexing is also done at the repo servers.
I need to keep both my repo servers along with their SOLR indexes in sync with High Availablity .How can I achieve that in Alfresco Community 5.0.d on Linux?

Regards,
Neha

this page:
http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/upgrade-path.html
describes the general upgrade paths, so I understand that from 3.x to 5.x it's necessary go towards 4.x before.
For the database, the path suppose "Backing up and restoring the repository";
now, my 3.x database is MYSQL.
How I can use the mysql backup to restore in postgres 4.x database?

Thanks!
