Setup - Web Installer

•
•

First check if there are no errors in the Requirements.
Set the File Permissions (chmod)

in my case i use an Debian Server and set the file owner and group to the Apache2 user (www-data)

cd %UNPACKED-FOLDER-PATH%/
chown -R www-data.www-data *

If no error occurs continue to the next step.
Provide your Database Informations to an existing Database
( Host, Username , Password , Database , Database Type ) - We highly
recommend MySQL
After the connection established successfully, you will be on the final Step
to configure your connection to the Alfresco Repository.
In this step please provide your Alfresco Repository Webservice Url (e.g http
://YOURSERVER:8080/alfresco/api)
ATTENTION!!!: PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE LOCALHOST:8080,
IF THE SERVER SHOULD BE REACHABLE EXTERNAL
After you finished the Step above, the Web Installer creates the
config/alfresco.xml for the Repository URL and the config/database.yml for the
Doctrine Database Connection
