Table of Contents [-]
This article is about a legacy portlet. For Alfresco integration, see Alfresco Integration.
Introduction #
This page describes how to use Alfresco portlet integration with Liferay 4.2.1 in Windows/Tomcat. This does not apply to Liferay 4.3
Steps#
1. Download the Alfresco war file: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lportal/liferay-portal-alfresco-4.2.1.war?download
2. Rename file to alfresco.war
3. Increase the maximum memory, if you don't do this you will get a PermGen memory error
4. Edit tomcat/bin/catalina.bat You'll see a line that looks something similar this:
SET JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.config"
Note: In Linux/UNIX edit catalina.sh instead. The line should be the same but without the SET command at the beginning.
Edit it to be (increases memory size):
SET JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.config"
5. Startup Tomcat
6. Deploy the alfresco.war
- Using the Admin portlet -> Auto Deploy tool, click Browse and locate alfresco.war
- You will see the portlet loading in the Tomcat console
7. After the Alfresco portlet has loaded, you could add the Alfresco Client and Alfresco Content to your page
Troubleshooting #
- If you deploy by putting the war in /tomcat/webapps, only the Alfresco Content portlet will load. Use the Admin portlet to deploy.
