“This document describes how to install and setup Alfresco
Content Server Community Edition by “Alfresco Software inc.” on a
Fedora 15 based webserver from a WAR package on a Tomcat webserver
with postgreSQL database as backend. For other distributions there
might be minor changes as to the software prerequisites
installation procedures. I took my time to write this tutorial up,
since I was unable to find any complete setup procedure on the
Internet, mainly because there is a .bin executable, which install
all in one easy step. Therefore this guide is intended to those
who, like me, want to have as much control and understanding as
possible and for those, who would want to install this server into
already existing infrastructure and do not wish to dig wiki pages
much. Moreover, by default, server from .bin installation runs as
root and this is a potential threat to security. This guide will
not only help install the product, but also understand why certain
points are done the way they are done (this is most helpful for
users with little or no knowledge who, like me some time ago, have
only started using Linux).”
