{{>toc}}
This is a guide for setting up Alfresco on FreeBSD.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Make sure the system is up to date:
<pre>
pkg update && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Add the Alfresco user
<pre>
pw add user -n alfresco -g www -d /nonexistent -s /usr/sbin/nologin -w no -c "Alfresco"
</pre>
* Install dependencies:
<pre>
pkg install tomcat7 ImageMagick7-nox11 libreoffice liberation-fonts-ttf droid-fonts-ttf swftools postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib postgresql-jdbc-9.2.1004
</pre>
h2. Install PostgreSQL
* Initialize, start, and enable postgresql at boot:
<pre>
sysrc postgresql_enable="YES"
service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start
</pre>
* Create database admin:
<pre>
su pgsql -c "createuser -sdrP postgres"
</pre>
* Create the alfresco database user:
*NOTE*: Make sure to update the alfresco-global.properties with the username and password.
<pre>
su pgsql -c "createuser -D -A -P alfresco"
</pre>
* Create alfresco database:
<pre>
su pgsql -c "createdb -O alfresco alfrescodb"
</pre>
* Test the database connection:
<pre>
psql -U alfresco -d alfrescodb
</pre>
h2. Setup Alfresco Prerequisites
* Create the Alfresco directories:
<pre>
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/{alf_data,tomcat}
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/alf_data/keystore
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/addons/{war,shared,alfresco}
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/shared/lib
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco{extension,web-extension}
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/endorsed
</pre>
* Symlink tomcat into alfresco directory:
<pre>
ln -s /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0/* /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/
</pre>
* Remove all default tomcat webapps:
rm -rf /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/*
h3. tomcat-users.xml
* Edit the *tomcat-users.xml* file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml
</pre>
#* And modify it accordingly:
<pre>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<!-- Repository -->
<user username="CN=Alfresco Repository Client, OU=Doc Repo, O=GNet Solutions, L=Lynnwood, ST=WA, C=US" roles="repoclient" password="null"/>
<!-- Solr -->
<user username="CN=Alfresco Repository, OU=Doc Repo, O=GNet Solutions, L=Lynnwood, ST=WA, C=US" roles="repository" password="null"/>
</tomcat-users>
</pre>
h3. server.xml
* Edit the tomcat *server.xml* config:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/www/alfresco/tomcat/conf/server.xml
</pre>
#* And modify it accordingly:
<pre>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
