With Alfresco, many enterprise challenges can be addressed, including displaying important information at one place and keeping track of employee performance. For getting the advantages of community-driven development, Alfresco Community Edition could be the best option for your enterprise.
When talking about availability and scalability, Alfresco does have some limitations. For instance, the community edition of Alfresco does not support clustering. The quality assurance and the bug fixes are also limited. However, Alfresco Community Edition provides enterprises of different levels with ease of managing their content and non-critical business process. It is easy to use and the source code of the Community Edition is also publicly available.
You will then be prompted to select a folder to install Alfresco community. Select /opt/alfresco-community, which is the default location for installing Alfresco. Continue with the default folder by pressing Enter.
Now, thankfully, Community Edition releases are either Early Access (EA) releases or Generally Available (GA) releases. The EA releases are essentially snapshot releases that are stable enough for the community to try out and provide feedback on. The GA releases are stable builds. If you are running Community Edition in production, you should be running GA releases, not EA releases.
Alfresco is one of the best open source Enterprise Content Management tools I have seen. It offers many of the features of Sharepoint such as sites, lists, workflow, document routing / collaboration / repository, wiki features and a whole lot more. The software is completely free and is constructed on an open source foundation including MySql (including the innoDB storage engine), Apache Tomcat and the Spring Framework (a Java application framework). If you want support however opt for the enterprise edition. This article looks at installing the community edition on Windows 7.
The first step is to obtain the installer from the Alfresco website. Once you have the installer, run it. The first port of call is to select which additional Alfresco features you wish to have installed. By default, the installer will create a MySql instance and install the windows process with the name alfrescoMySql, install the Java runtime files, install and configure an instance of Apache Tomcat (with a windows process called alfresco Tomcat) and finally install all the necessary core Alfresco components. These are all key parts of the install so of course you cannot un-select these (explaining why they are greyed out in the features list).
Thank you for the step-by-step instructions. By far, it's the most detailed and thorough from what I know. I've spent the weekend following several recipes but so far I still don't have a working Alfresco install. After reading yours I thought I was onto something, however your instructions don't say where to copy the rest of the alfresco files after unzipping them, only the war files. I'm off to my next Google result but just wanted to let you know about the oversight. Cheers.
Discovered a couple of noteworthy things:
1. You must access with the site with port 8080 and /share -- which actually gives me a login screen at :8080/share
2. I have an empty alfresco database. It's there in phpmyadmin but there is nothing in it. I found instructions for building it with an older version of Alfresco by importing a db_setup.sql file, but the instructions assume an install in /opt which I don't have and I can't find the file anywhere in the leftovers of the tmp directory...
I assumed that the people know that when you install application into tomcat, then by default that application goes into some directory (i.e. alfresco, share) and in that case you access it using:
:8080/alfresco
:8080/share
Assuming you didn't recofigure tomcat, if you did - then you know where it is.
As for the database, you don't touch it, Alfresco will create it when it is started for the first time (and it has to have appropriate privileges to do so, i.e. the best is to grant all privileges to alfresco user defined in the database!).
Accorindg to what you wrote, you didn't start Alfresco but share (i.e. use the URL that has alfresco in it).
Thanks for responding. I'm not new to linux but I am new to Alfresco and Tomcat. Your instructions:
"Now, start tomcat again and try to open the following URL in a Web browser: -domain.com/alfresco."
As I said in my earlier comment, this address (without the port) gets me nothing. Using :8080/alfresco gets me a 404 error. Using :8080/share gets me a log in page that will not let me log in. Opening the database in phpMyAdmin shows me the database is there but it is empty. The database user has ALL permissions.
Thanks for all your help. I'll try this again with Centos instead of Scientific Linux. There is obviously some difference between the two.
You are right, that URL was misleading. I changed URL to include port also.
As for your problem. I doubt that the problem is Scientific Linux. Your problem is not with the database, but it starts much earlier. Check that there is alfresco.war in webapps directory, that it has the same permissions and owner as share.war. Also, try to open URL and then look in catalina.out to see what tomcat reported as a problem.
As an update to my previous comment. Editing WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties does not seem to be necessary after all. In my installation, the original mistake was that alfresco-global.properties was not readable by tomcat.
You could add to your blog a reminder to check/change the permissions of alfresco-global.properties.
5. Next, go to Alfresco Community Edition repository page hosted on sourceforge.net portal and grab the latest binary version (i.e. alfresco-community-5.0.d-installer-linux-x64.bin) for Linux using wget utility.
Synchronizing state of nginx.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable nginx
alfresco.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable alfresco
update-rc.d: error: alfresco Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.
u can have the system ip instead of typing localhost if u have the alfresco in your system and if it is present any where outside the system u can enter that system ip make sure that alfresco is running at that time

The fact that this opensource DMS has a large number of well-known clients is a plus. That demonstrates that you may begin with the community edition and then upgrade to a paying license once you tried it out and are ready to scale it up.It does not, however, support mobile devices or provide document collaboration options.It comes with different editions: Enterprise, Premium, Standard, and Community.VISIT KRYSTAL DMS
LogicalDoc is yet another excellent free document management software option. The GNU license is used to provide the community edition, which is absolutely free to download. The program provides a variety of functions and makes it simple to manage your documents and file management.It organizes personal or business documents, making it easier to locate prior versions. It allows for content-based searching by utilizing document indexing. It is presently available in 15 languages.It supports almost all internet browsers. However, the mobile and tablet application is not available for the community edition.As you may know, my preferred option for open source document management systems is to have comprehensive documentation and videos, which LogicalDoc does.It comes with 4 editions: community, business, cloud, and enterprise.

With the continued refinement of next-generation sequencing technologies, many clinical studies are incorporating advanced genomics techniques into their data collection sets, resulting in large collections of human sequence information and their associations with human phenotypes. The richness of these sequences, as well as the accompanying human data, is of great value to the basic research community. Additionally, the application of basic research findings to the clinical arena through translational research is critically important. Currently, much of the data produced by basic research never find its way into clinical practice, and very little of the data generated by clinical researchers is incorporated into basic research design in the laboratory [4]. To help solve this problem, the National Institutes of Health has initiated a program to promote translational research called the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) [5,6]. The CTSA program is intended to develop educational and research infrastructures at academic institutions and is charged with creating a national collaborative consortium to drive biomedical research towards therapies [7], including the promotion of collaborative sharing of data across translational lines through the development of online resources aimed towards accomplishing this goal.
