Our company using Alfresco and it has been installed through SVN. We are using the command catalina.sh start to start the alfresco. Our alfresco server is CentOS release 5.5 .
We need to manually start the alfresco on every reboot and it is very tedious.
To fix this issue we need to place the command (/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/bin/catalina.sh start ) and the environment variables in system startup file (/etc/rc.d/rc.local) .
In our case we follow these steps:
vi /root/alfrescostart.sh
Copy and paste the below lines:
####################################################################################
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dalfresco.home=."
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_29
export MVN_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-2.2.1
export ANT_HOME=/opt/apache-ant-1.8.2
export CATALINA_HOME=/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.20
export TOMCAT_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME
export APP_TOMCAT_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin:$MVN_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
#Command to Start the catalina at startup
/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/bin/catalina.sh start
####################################################################################
chmod +x /root/alfrescostart.sh
Add the line “/root/alfrescostart.sh” line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Thats all!....
