After the high interest of the installation tutorial under Ubuntu plaform, in
this post is shared the installation of Alfresco Community 4.2.c on
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit with Apache Tomcat 7.0.30 and

the installation is a step by step list of commands and tasks simpler to
understand, to do and to test. Hope youll be agree.
Before starting

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 nd a copy of this le as a result of unpacking the Alfresco 4.2.c WAR zip le, or in our Tomcat-7 stu. 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.

Thank you for your feedback.
I suggest you to nd the dll and use it in the way the installation needs.
You can nd it in the alfrescos zip le 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 nd it, let me know and Ill send you by email.
I hope this help you.
ecmexplorer - 30th July 2013 at 3:25 pm Reply
Hi, again, Francesco
Thanks for the speedy reply, and for reminding me of the zip le. I had unpacked the WAR le from it several weeks ago and
had then dismissed the zip le.
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 certicate 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.

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
Francesco Corti - 17th September 2013 at 12:43 pm Reply
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding your rst 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 le /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
15 de 34 10/01/17 03:18 p.m.

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 dierent
database and few dierent congurations for it.
Hope this will help you.

Hi Ivan,
The Alfresco community edition is certied 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 certied, some bugs could be possible (slide 11).
Summarizing I didnt nd 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 nal answer is: get the Enterprise Edition!

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Regarding your question: Alfresco is always a little bit slow during the startup and the very rst time it takes more time because
of the database setup.
So, my rst 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:

I am new to Apache Tomcat, but would like to do the following in a default install of Alfresco Community Edition 4.2.f on Windows 7.
1. I would like the user to type the address http://servername rather than http://servername:8080/share/page/ and be directed to
the Alfresco Community login page. This is a test platform, not interested in DNS setup or changing /etc le changes at the moment.
Been searching how to do this for awhile. Your help is appreciated.

Hi Mauricio,
Sorry for the delay in my reply.
When you install Alfresco using the wizard, all the dependencies, scripts and modules are installed as a generic single thing.
This means that you cant control everything as a separate component (for example: would be simple to update only Libre Oce
or FFMpeg?).
With this installation you will be able to control every single component independently (you could update PostgreSql quite
safely).
Of course this does not means that this way to install Alfresco is easier.
Finally, I suggest you to use the wizard in a development or non-production environments.
