Chapter 2. Setting Up the Alfresco Environment
Alfresco provides users with a very flexible mechanism for installation. Alfresco can be installed on any supported application server like Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, and so on. Alfresco also supports various databases. Different components of Alfresco can be separated out or installed together on the same machine, so you can pick your package based on organization needs and do the setup.
In this chapter, we will cover the different installation processes of Alfresco:
- Understanding the installation process using the installer file with a simple wizard
- Diving into detailed steps for the manual installation of Alfresco in Tomcat
- The installation process of Alfresco in the JBoss application server
Here, the main focus is on the installation process of Alfresco; we are not covering topics related to the installation of databases or other components.
