Installing Alfresco Community 4.2.f on the Jelastic.com cloud service (part 2)

Alfresco Share is a web application based on the Spring Surf platform that connects to the Alfresco content repository through web scripts. The application implements the functionality of a document collaboration system with a simple user interface, providing users with the possibility of full-text search in the repository content, viewing documents in a browser, using content in the organization’s business processes, and publishing content on social networks. For the user, the Alfresco Share interface is a set of sites (groups) with a library of documents on a specific topic, wiki pages, links, blogs and a forum. The user can customize and configure Alfresco Share in accordance with their preferences, and developers can modify the interface to solve specific tasks that the user needs. Alfresco Share is also being finalized, like any other Spring Surf based application. An example of the Share improvement for solving specific problems is the Records Management package, certified according to the DOD 5015.2 standards, which slightly changes the Share interface.

Installing Share on Jelastic.com Cloud turned out to be pretty trivial. You only need to perform one small trick.

1 It is necessary to rename the previously deployed application from ROOT to alfresco:


2 Download the distribution kit share.war and deploy it in the created environment




It should turn out like this:


3 Reload Tomcat
4 Run alfresco (to verify that everything still works)
