Use the Alfresco WAR file to install Content Services within an existing Tomcat

[EjikeAlfie]

Good day Folks,

Alfresco newbie here  . I was reading the docs on What is needed to install Content services and it is specified that we "Use the Alfresco WAR file to install Content Services within an existing Tomcat. The WAR file is included in the distribution zip".

How can one go about this please, I have downloaded the alfresco-content-services-community-distribution-6.2.0-ga zip file, and I need to install and configure it.

I would appreciate any step-by-step breakdown of how to handle this task.

I look forward to hearing from anyone.

Thanks

Hey @angelborroy ,

Please how do I change this: "Downloading Apache Tomcat...
--2024-08-09 16:39:29-- https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.1.26/bin/apache-tomcat-10.1.26.tar.gz" in your " 03-install_tomcat.sh " as the https URL above no longer exists. 

This is the new one: "https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.1.28/bin/apache-tomcat-10.1.28.tar.gz".

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Hey @angelborroy ,

Sorry for bothering you . So far I have been able to resolve and install all the scripts till I got to  07-install_solr.sh. I get this error from Solr when I start with the script: "Job for solr.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status solr.service" and "journalctl -xeu solr.service" for details."

Please can you give me any ideas as to why this is happening, it worked well in your YouTube video but mine seems to generate these errors any time the script runs.

I look forward to hearing from you.

thanks
