I just tried running it on OpenJDK on a Rawhide install (probably pretty close to what F8 will be). So far no luck. Lots and lots of errors. Here is what I do to get Alfresco running on F8: o Download Sun's jdk1.6.0 rpm o Get the jpackage 1.6.0 compat rpm o Get alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.tar.gz o untar it o cd into the untar'd directory o cp alfresco.war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps o mysql < ./extras/databases/mysql/db_setup.sql o mkdir -p /var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/ o startup tomcat Once it runs, you'll get errors. That's okay, just fix the paths: vim /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties Fix the dir.root to point to the new directory we created: dir.root=/var/lib/alfresco/alf_data vim /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties Fix the log file path: log4j.appender.File.File=/var/log/tomcat5/alfresco.log o Make sure tomcat loads the mysql driver: 'sh# rebuild-jar-repository /var/lib/tomcat5/common/endorsed mysql-connector-java' Restart tomcat and it should now run just fine. I have not created a startup script for OpenOffice. You'll notice that Alfresco will try to connect to it and fail if it's not running. It will continue to load without OpenOffice. ...Jeff PS. Here is a part of the first error when I try to run it under openjdk (icetea): 16:05:52,779 ERROR [catalina.session.ManagerBase] IOException while loading persisted sessions: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.ui.common.component.UIListItem java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.ui.common.component.UIListItem at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1351) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:369) at java.util.ArrayList.readObject(ArrayList.java:697) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:623) at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.invokeReadObject(ObjectStreamClass.java:992)
