Installing Alfresco (3.x, 4.x) on (32bit) Ubuntu

Tags: Alfresco, install, linux, Ubuntu

Recently I got into a twitter discussion about installing Alfresco Community on 32bit Ubuntu. Alfresco only provides 64bit installers these days (all-in-one), and the Tomcat distribution is no more. Since Alfresco is a Java app, the app doesn’t matter. It is Java and the helper applications needed, that need to be 32/64bit.

This blog will show you step by step how to install Alfresco and the helper apps on 32bit Ubuntu 11.10 (server). It will use OpenJDK (since it is the default in Ubuntu 11.10), LibreOffice (default in Ubuntu repositories) and MySQL (because I am more familiar with than Postgress). On the way we will install ImageMagick, Pdf2swf and FFmpeg.

First be sure we are on the latest version of everything:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you run Ubuntu on a VM, and your host is Windows, you might want to use Putty (an ssh client for Windows), and then you need an ssh server on your VMWare box:

sudo apt-get install ssh  openssh-blacklist openssh-blacklist-extra

Now you can access your VM from a Windows app, more easy if you need to copy a name or content into a file you are editing. I assume you download packages you need from the internet, and in the end this step-by-step guide expects them to exist in your home folder. You can either download these packages from within Ubuntu, or copy them into your home folder using WinSCP . We are going to install Alfresco in /opt/alfresco40c (4 zero c, the version number). Let’s create this folder right now:

sudo mkdir /opt/alfresco40c

And assign yourself permissions to write in that folder: (assuming your username is ‘uname’)

sudo chown -R uname /opt/alfresco40c

Validate your results by

ls -la /opt

You should note that your username shows in the line displaying folder alfresco40c

Java

Lets install OpenJDK first. (SUN-Java, oh, sorry, Oracle is fine too, but requires more fuzzing with adding other repositories to Ubuntu.) (I happened to install this particular version because the person in question used this version of OpenJDK)

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

There most likely is an issue with OpenJDK and Rhino. There are some workarounds too. If you can run the statement below in a terminal window, you’re fine:

java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.JSConsole

Assuming you don’t need Rhino for anything other than Alfresco, you’re save to remove the rhino.jar library all together. See the Alfresco wiki for details and workarounds. I just renamed the rhino.jar provided by OpenJDK:

sudo mv /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar.not

Let’s check if we got Java installed right:

java -version

responds with something like:

java version "1.6.0_23"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

MySQL

Then we need MySQL

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

Remind: Remember the root password you set when you install the server. You will need it later on!

Validate:

mysql -u root -p

It will display:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 45
Server version: 5.1.58-1ubuntu1 (Ubuntu)
Copyright (c) 2000, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

and you are welcome to modify and redistribute it under the GPL v2 license
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

You type:

show databases;
MySQL responds with:
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
+--------------------+
2 rows in set (0.05 sec)

Done!

ImageMagick, SWFTools, FFMpeg and OpenOffice

Since you install without the all-in-one installer, you also need ImageMagic, FFMpeg and OpenOffice:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick ffmpeg libreoffice

ImageMagick is used to convert and scale images. FFMpeg is needed if you store video in your repository and want to use the audio/video player plugin of Alfresco Share (assuming this will still work in version 4.0). The OpenOffice.org project is actually forked into the independent LibreOffice. Ubuntu has chosen to provide LibreOffice in their repositories over OpenOffice.

Validate:

whereis convert
whereis ffmpeg
whereis soffice.bin

SWFTools is used to create flash from pdf documents, to allow previews of documents in Share. This tool does not exist in the 32bit repositories of Ubuntu 11.10. A workaround is to download a slightly older (32bit) version of this tool  from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/swftools/0.9.0-0ubuntu1. The download link is just below “Downloadable files” on the right-bottom of your page. Lets install this deb package:

sudo dpkg -i swftools_0.9.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Validate:

whereis pdf2swf

Tomcat

Download the latest Tomcat 6 from Apache: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi (my current version is 6.0.35). Unpack Tomcat (in your home folder):

tar -xvf apache-tomcat-6.0.35.tar.gz

Rename Tomcat to tomcat, and move it to where it should:

mv apache-tomcat-6.0.35 /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat

Lets’s validate if Tomcat is installed right, let’s start Tomcat:

cd /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/bin
./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar

And check (if there is a process running that contains ‘java’ in its signature):

ps -ef |grep java
tpeelen 22460 1 8 15:35 pts/0 00:00:01 /usr/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/endorsed -classpath /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
tpeelen 22482 15472 0 15:35 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto java

Rock! That works. Now, shutdown Tomcat:

./shutdown.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH:/opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar

Validate:

ps -ef |grep java
tpeelen 22516 15472 0 15:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto java

There is no process running that contains ‘java’…  Nice. That works.

Add additional folders for use with Alfresco:

mkdir /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/shared
mkdir /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/shared/classes
mkdir /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/shared/lib

Edit Tomcat’s catalina.properties to tell Tomcat to actually use the added directories under ‘tomcat/shared’:

nano /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties

Change the value of the shared.loader= property to the following:

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

Save the file by entering Ctrl-X, a ‘Y’ and an <Enter>.

By default, Tomcat uses ISO-8859-1 character encoding when decoding URLs that are received from a browser. This may cause problems when creating, uploading, and renaming files with international characters. Edit the server.xml file

nano /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.

Locate the Connector section, and then add the URIEncoding=”UTF-8″ property.

<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

Save the server.xml file (Ctrl-X, a ‘Y’ and an <Enter>).

Download the recent JDBC driver belonging to you MySQL instance (Ubuntu is shipped with MySQL 5.1 by default). Go to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ and download the recent version.

Extract the archive (in your home directory)

tar -xvf mysql-connector-java-5.1.18.tar.gz

And copy the driver to Tomcat:

cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.18/mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/lib

Alfresco

We are getting there. Download the Alfresco-community-4.0.c.zip from: https://process.alfresco.com/ccdl/?file=release/community/build-3979/alfresco-community-4.0.c.zip (Any other version will do too, be sure to select, on the download page, the link ‘Custom Installs & Optional Modules’!)

Unzip the archive in your home folder. You probably don’t have ‘unzip’ as one of your tools. Get it now:

sudo apt-get install unzip
unzip alfresco-community-4.0.c.zip

This will get you 3 folders; licenses, bin and webapps. Distribute as follows:

mv bin /opt/alfresco40c/
mv licenses /opt/alfresco40c/

mv web-server/endorsed/* /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/endorsed
mv web-server/shared/* /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/shared
mv web-server/lib/* /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/lib
mv web-server/webapps/* /opt/alfresco40c/tomcat/webapps/

For your convenience, create a folder to store some database scripts:

mkdir /opt/alfresco40c/extras

Create the sql-script to create a database:

nano /opt/alfresco40c/extras/db_setup.sql

This file has the contents:

create database alfresco default character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;

Create the sql-script to drop the database:

nano /opt/alfresco40c/extras/db_remove.sql

This file has the contents:

drop database alfresco;
revoke all privileges, grant option from 'alfresco'@'localhost';
drop user 'alfresco'@'localhost';

Actually create an empty database + user:

mysql -u root -p </opt/alfresco40c/extras/db_setup.sql

Remind, you need your root password for this!

Create a file to start Alfresco:

nano /opt/alfresco40c/alfresco.sh

Fill it with:

#!/bin/sh
# Start or stop Alfresco server
# Set the following to where Tomcat is installed
ALF_HOME=/opt/alfresco40c
cd "$ALF_HOME"
APPSERVER="${ALF_HOME}/tomcat"
export CATALINA_HOME="$APPSERVER"
# Set any default JVM values
#export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xss1024k -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=256m -server'
export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms512m -Xmx768m -Xss768k -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=256m -server'
export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dalfresco.home=${ALF_HOME} -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"
#
if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
"${APPSERVER}/bin/startup.sh"
# if [ -r ./virtual_start.sh ]; then
# sh ./virtual_start.sh
# fi
# if [ -r ./start_oo.sh ]; then
# sh ./start_oo.sh
# fi
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
"${APPSERVER}/bin/shutdown.sh"
# if [ -r ./virtual_start.sh ]; then
# sh ./virtual_stop.sh
# fi
# if [ -r ./start_oo.sh ]; then
# killall soffice.bin
# fi
fi

Make sure you can actually execute the script:

sudo chmod ug+x /opt/alfresco40c/alfresco.sh

Provided you have valid alfresco-global.properties, you should be able to start and stop Alfresco by entering:

cd /opt/alfresco40c
./alfresco.sh start

or

./alfresco.sh stop

Check if your action was successful by validating if the process is running (or has stopped. Remind, stopping Alfresco might take a while)

ps -ef |grep java

Goto http://the-ip-address:8080/alfresco or  http://the-ip-address:8080/share and see if your install was successful!

Have fun!

    This tutorial does not fix you with an Alfresco that starts as your system starts, nor does it gently stop when your system stops. It can, see the Alfresco wiki.
    Another thing is that Ubuntu does not allow you to use portnumbers below 1024 as a non-root account. Therefore you need some port-redirections as explained in Alfresco’s wiki.
    Adding the Sharepoint integration AMP is something you need to do by hand. If there is enough demand, I might elaborate on that…
