ROOT.war does not deploy

If the ROOT.war file does not deploy when Tomcat is started, remove the file named ROOT.xml from the following location:

<tomcat>/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml

Shared Workspaces Created In Company Home

When a Shared Workspace is created in Office, a space is created in the repository to represent it. This space is created within Company Home, therefore the user creating the Shared Workspace must have CREATE_CHILDREN permission on the Company Home space.

Trusted Sites

When attempting to create a Shared Workspace an error maybe encountered suggesting the site be added to your list of Trusted Sites. To do this follow the steps below:

• Launch Internet Explorer
• Go to Tools -> Internet Options
• Select the Security tab
• Select "Trusted Sites"
• Click the Sites button
• Enter the host being connected to i.e. http://192.168.1.45 (NOTE: You may need to uncheck the 'Require server verification' option if you are not connecting via HTTPS)
• Close all dialogs and quit Internet Explorer

Space Appears At The End Of URL

When attempting to create a Shared Workspace the URL is pre-populated if a previous attempt has been made. Sometimes an extra space is added onto the end of the URL which results in an error, remove the space and attempt creation again.

[edit] Java Development Kit (JDK)

Issue with using JDK 1.6.0_0

There is a JAR conflict when using JDK 1.6.0_0 with Alfresco. To work around this issue, you can add the file jaxb-api-2.1.jar from alfresco.war's \WEB-INF\lib<tt> to <tt>tomcat\common\endorsed directory.

This issue is not present in later versions of JDK 1.6.
