CMDBuild Forum

Installation

I have several problems with the installation. First, my OS is Windows 7.

 

Problem 1:

I have installed PostgreSQL database, but I can’t run it (it says„it must be started“ in the technical manual of CMDBuild) because I can’t find any executable
file or something ). It is availabe in programs in my control panel, so it is properly installed.  

Problem 2:

I have installed tomcat and I can access it via localhost:8080. The cmdbuild file is integrated, as well as the cmdbuild-shar-overlay-2.4.3 directory. Cmdbuild is on „false“  . Is this correct?

 

Problem 3:
I don’t know what I should have installed concerning Alfresco. I have installed Alfresco Community because it was the only open source possibility available. It was necessary to configure several ports (Databaseport 5432, Servershutdownport 8080, AJP/1.3 Port
8009, TomcalSSLPort 8443 and the webserver domain 127.0.0.1) I receive an error saying I’m not allowed to use these default values (I guess because they are already used by  Tomcat?) Which ports can I use? Is it necessary to change them or is it possible to
use the same?

 

 

Second, I have installed JDK 8 for my Java Virtual Machine.

In short, when I want to access http://localhost:8080/cmdbuild it says

 

HTTP Status 404 – Not Found

 

 

Type Status Report

 

Message /cmdbuild/

 

Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

 

 

Apache Tomcat/8.5.20

Problem 1:

Use services (start -> run -> services.msc) and look for the postgresql-[version] service (row). So, look at its Status (column).

Thanks for your reply, Leonardo! Status = Running
 
I will be grateful for every kind help.

For problem 3, yes, it is best to choose values that are new, since many of them will be used by the tomcat instance for openmaint. So remember that you now have to run tomcat for both openmaint and alfresco. Some people run both on the same instance of tomcat, but I prefer to have separate instances for each.
 
If you need more help, you can try this link here, it helped me a lot.

Thank you very much for your reply and the link you have sent me. I basically choosed the same ports as tomcat just with the port number substracted by 1. Do you have any idea, why in tomcat server CMDbuild is set on false?
