Introduction
SLAM is a hosting platform for Liferay Web applications and / or Alfresco EDM (Electronic Document Management). It allows you to develop dynamic Web applications with BlueXML Developer Studio.
Combined with MySQL 5.x, SLAM provides an ideal test platform for applications generated via BxDS.
Installation
To operate and install, SLAM requires that MySQL (5.0 or later) is running on your machine.
The installation is processed with ANT, downloadable from the website of the Apache Foundation [1].
Since 1.0.2 version, ANT libraries are provided within SLAM package, so you don't have to install it on your system.
Download the SLAM package and extract it to the folder of your choice.
In a terminal console, go to SLAM folder and then run the command build install under Windows, sh build.sh install-all under UNIX platform.
You must indicate in the order, the following informations :
- The directory where you want to install SLAM platform (default : /opt/kerBlue/SLAM_<VERSION>),
- Host name for MySQL (default : localhost),
- Connection port for MySQL (default : 3306),
- The primary user of MySQL (default root),
- The password for this user (leave empty if no password),
- DB name for Liferay (default : lportal),
- DB name for Alfresco (default : alfresco),
- DB name for models generation by BxDS (default : alf_relational).
Then the installation takes between 5 and 10 minutes, and ends with a message: BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
To start the Tomcat server with Liferay and Alfresco, go to the installation folder defined in 1, like <SLAM>/liferay/5.1.1/bin.
- Under Windows, run startup.bat
- Under UNIX, run the command sh startup.sh.
The server may take several minutes to boot, particularly the first time he saves a lot of data.
You can access the Liferay home page via http://localhost:8080 and Alfresco via http://localhost:8080/alfresco.
