DEPLOY_ALFRESCO_USER is the username (from 13a.) for the Alfresco account with read access to the web project to be deployed (e.g., "export DEPLOY_ALFRESCO_USER=deploy_bot")
DEPLOY_PASSWORD is the Alfresco password for the DEPLOY_ALFRESCO_USER user. (e.g., "export DEPLOY_PASSWORD=deploy_bot_password_or_something")

That's it for now.

Okay, Brian performed steps 1 through 12 on Alumni's server (cms-prod-wcm1.mit.edu) and set up a remote web server (cms-test-wcm1.mit.edu) with tomcat (actually a SASH stack), and gave me root access. Here's what I did.
ON CMS-PROD-WCM1:
1) I had to make sure all .sh files were executable and in UNIX format, since they came from a Windows box. (This step should be unnecessary if I fix the tarball)
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /home/repos/alfresco; for a in `find -name \*.sh`; do chmod a+x $a; dos2unix $a; done
|
2) I generated a strong password for admin and edited /home/repos/alfresco/virtual-tomcat/conf/alfresco-virtserver.properties to set "alfresco.server.password" to this value.

|---|
3) I created $ALF_EXT/custom-authority-services-context.xml (copied from version in /root) and added <value>jcalz_admin</value> to the admin list. \[NOTE: an older version of this file had a bean definition which caused a circular reference here. The new version is correct. In general, this file should be copied out of authority-services-context.xml in the alfresco WAR file before it is edited\] |
4) Created the logs directories for tomcat and virtual tomcat. (Apparently the tomcat startup scripts get upset if the directories aren't there. This step should be unnecessary if I fix the tarball)
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir tomcat/logs; mkdir virtual-tomcat/logs
|
5) I edited $ALF_EXT/web-client-confix-custom.xml and changed the <deployment> element to include
| Code Block |
|---|
<commands>
<command name="deploy-to-cms-test-wcm1" program="bash">
<param>-c</param>
<param>${ALF_HOME}/deploy/deploy-to-cms-test-wcm1.sh</param>
</command>
</commands>
|
6) I copied $ALF_HOME/deploy/deploy.sh to $ALF_HOME/deploy/deploy-to-cms-test-wcm1.sh
7) I generated a strong password for an Alfresco "deploy_bot" account.
8) I ran "ssh-keygen -t dsa" and accepted the default location and left the passphrase blank.
9) I copied the generated public key file to cms-test-wcm1
| Code Block |
|---|
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub cms-test-wcm1:
|
10) I logged into the remote server as root:
| Code Block |
|---|
ssh -l root cms-test-wcm1
|
ON CMS-TEST-WCM1:
11) I did:
| Code Block |
|---|
adduser deploy_bot; (note, this is the WEB SERVER "deploy_bot" account, not the ALFRESCO "deploy_bot" account)
mkdir /home/deploy_bot/.ssh;
chown deploy_bot /home/deploy_bot/.ssh;
chmod 700 /home/deploy_bot/.ssh;
cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> /home/deploy_bot/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown deploy_bot /home/deploy_bot/.ssh/authorized_keys;
chmod 600 /home/deploy_bot/.ssh/authorized_keys;
rm ~/id_dsa.pub
|
12) I ensured that the deploy_bot account had write access to the deployment destination path:
| Code Block |
|---|
chmod a+rx /home/www
chmod a+rx /home/www/sash-server
chmod a+rx /home/www/sash-server/servers/
chmod a+rx /home/www/sash-server/servers/alumni/
chown deploy_bot /home/www/sash-server/servers/alumni/webapps
chown deploy_bot /home/www/sash-server/servers/alumni/webapps/ROOT
|
(There may be better ways of doing this, but this shouldn't be a big deal)
13) I logged out of cms-test-wcm1
ON CMS-PROD-WCM1:
14) I tried "ssh -l deploy_bot cms-test-wcm1.mit.edu" and accepted the host key. (This step stores the host key in known_hosts and is actually important, since you don't want the deployment script to be prompted to accept or not accept the host key.)
15) I edited "$ALF_HOME/deploy/deploy-to-cms-test-wcm1.sh" and set:
| Code Block |
|---|
export DEPLOY_ALFRESCO_USER=deploy_bot
export DEPLOY_ALFRESCO_PASSWORD=[Strong password from step 7]
export DEPLOY_REMOTE_SERVER=cms-test-wcm1.mit.edu
export DEPLOY_REMOTE_USER=deploy_bot
export DEPLOY_REMOTE_DESTPATH=/home/www/sash-server/servers/alumni/webapps/ROOT
|
16) I went into $ALF_HOME and did ./alfresco.sh start, and waited for the server to come up.
FROM THE WEB BROWSER:
17) I logged into http://cms-prod-wcm1.mit.edu:8080/alfresco
, with the admin/admin password
18) I went into User Management and set the admin account password to the strong password from step 2.
19) I created the deploy_bot account, and set its password to the strong password from step 7.
20) I created the jcalz_admin account, and set its password to my desired password.
21) I logged out as admin and back in as jcalz_admin
22) I created a Web Project and specified "command:deploy-to-cms-test-wcm1" as the deploy destination, and copied some stuff into it, and took a snapshot.
23) I tested deployment: success!
