For\u00a0months I was searching for a system capable to track and store out internal documents. I tested several systems like alfresco<\/a>, opendocman<\/a>,…..<\/p>\n In the end\u00a0I decided to give OpenKM <\/a>a try.<\/p>\n OpenKM runs on a JBoss<\/a> application server, so you are bound to Java.\u00a0 They use Jackrabbit <\/a>for their hierarchical content storage.\u00a0 The frontend is realized with GWT (Google Web Tollkit<\/a>).<\/p>\n For a full feature list click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n I installed OpenKM on a recent Debian 6.0<\/p>\n First you need to install OpenOffice. Make sure you install …-math, …-writer, … -draw, …-calc packages.<\/p>\n OpenOffice hast to bee run in headless mode. I use following startup script:<\/p>\n To get the preview stuff working you need also pdf2swf<\/strong>. Check your \/bin directory there should be a pdf2swf executable or if you prefer you could take the swftool <\/a>package from ubuntu<\/a>.<\/p>\n The last step to get the previewer feature running is to set the corresponding config. flags at the OpenKm.cfg file.<\/p>\n Mail notification is straight forward. Go to \/opt\/OpenKM-4.1_JBoss-4.2.3.GA\/server\/default\/deploy\/mail-service.xml . <\/strong>Edit the <\/strong>section to your <\/strong>needs.<\/p>\n If you face the problem that the links in your notification mails are pointing to localhost, you can alter the application.url <\/strong>flag in your OpenKM.cfg.<\/p>\n GoTo \/opt\/OpenKM-4.1_JBoss-4.2.3.GA\/server\/default\/deploy\/jboss-web.deployer\/server.xml <\/strong>and edit<\/p>\n Change the port<\/em> <\/strong>field to 80<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n One last thing needs to be done :-). Security! Holy Moly… what… yep.. Jboss runs out of the box like an open barn door. So a good idea would be to secure the jmx-console<\/strong> and web-console <\/strong>stuff. Because of that the jmx-console<\/strong> and web-console <\/strong>are standard servlets you can protect them very easily via enabling the security-constraint.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Edit \\server\\default\\deploy\\jmx-console.war\\WEB-INF\\web.xml and uncomment the security-constraint section:<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Edit \\server\\default\\deploy\\jmx-console.war\\WEB-INF\\jboss-web.xml. Uncomment the following section:<\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. Edit \\server\\default\\conf\\props\\jmx-console-roles.properties file<\/p>\n 4<\/strong>. Edit \\server\\default\\conf\\props\\jmx-console-users.properties file<\/p>\n 5<\/strong>. Edit \\server\\default\\conf\\login-config.xml edit following section<\/p>\n 6<\/strong>. under \\server\\default\\conf\\props\\ copy and rename the two jmx-console-xx to web-console-xx.<\/p>\n If you want to start your OpenKM automatically at boot time you can use this init script:<\/p>\n If you get an exception at shutdown or your shutdown script does not kill your JBoss then you could check sysctl-setting under \/etc\/sysctl.d\/bindv6only.conf.<\/strong><\/p>\n Make sure that the net.ipv6.bindv6only=0. !<\/strong><\/p>\n If you would like to show your appreciation consider to support the guys from <\/span>OpenKM <\/span><\/a>with a donation \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n See PayPal subscription link at the bottom of the page<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For\u00a0months I was searching for a system capable to track and store out internal documents.
