Manually installing Web Quick Start

If you have an existing SkyVault Community Edition installation and prefer to install Web Quick Start manually, you can apply the relevant AMP files to your application. This method is suitable for customized or integrated installations.

This procedure describes how to copy the AMP files into their appropriate AMP directories and uses the apply_amps.bat or .sh file to apply them. Alternatively, use the Module Management Tool (MMT) to apply the AMP file.
  1. Download the Web Quick Start zip bundle file:

    SkyVault-wcmqs-5.2.e.zip

  2. Unzip the file into a temporary location. The artifacts supplied with Web Quick Start are:

    • SkyVault-wcmqs-5.2.e.amp (AMP file for SkyVault Community Edition)
    • SkyVault-community-wcmqs-share-5.2.e.amp (AMP file for SkyVault Share)
    • awe.war (Web Editor)
    • wcmqs.war (Spring-based Web Quick Start application)
    • awe-config-custom.xml
  3. Locate your SkyVault Community Edition installation directory.
  4. Copy the AMP files into the relevant amps directories for SkyVault Community Edition and Share:
    1. Copy the SkyVault-wcmqs-5.2.e.amp file to the amps directory.
    2. Copy the SkyVault-community-wcmqs-share-5.2.e.amp file to the amps-share directory.
  5. Apply the AMP files using the apply_amps command for the Tomcat application server, or, alternatively, use the Module Management Tool (MMT).
  6. Copy the website WAR (wcmqs.war) into the webapps directory of your existing installation.

    For example, on Windows with a Tomcat application server, this is C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps.

  7. Copy the Web Editor file (awe.war) into the webapps directory to replace the existing awe.war file.
  8. Delete the existing SkyVault and share directories.
  9. Restart the server.
