Install Tomcat6
From AlfrescoWiki
Tomcat 6 does not ship with several of the directories that were present in Tomcat 5.x
E.g. the shared/classes and shared/lib directories.
Since Alfresco is set to use the config override files found in shared/classes/alfresco/extension this can cause a problem.
The way to configure Tomcat6 to pick up these files again is:
- Create the shared/classes/ dir
- modify the conf/catalina.properties file by:
- Change the value of shared.loader= to
- shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
One further change is that Tomcat6 does away with the common/lib dir so the JDBC drivers for the Database you are using need to go into:
- lib/
Tomcat 5.x also used to have a common/endorsed directory, which no longer exists in Tomcat 6.x. if you are using Java SE 6 then copy any JARS that needed to go into Tomcat's common/endorsed into ...jdk6/jre/lib/endorsed directory.
