Alfresco Community Edition 3.2 MySQL Installation Workaround
Alfresco Community Edition 3.2
...was released yesterday. So, I decided to install it on a Linux server (in a virtual machine). Unfortunately, I ran into a problem when Alfresco's installer tried to build its MySQL database and tables. I checked an confirmed that MySQL was running properly and that the MySQL JDBC Connector was installed for the Tomcat installation that Alfresco provides. Since both of those checked out fine I ended up doing the following to get Alfresco installed:
1. Manually ran db_setup.sql in Alfresco/extras/databases/mysql
mysql -u root -p < db_setup.sql
2. Run the Alfresco installer
3. Uncheck the box to have the installer create the database
4. Complete the installation
5. Run "alfresco.sh start" to start Alfresco 3.2 up
6. Sit back and wait while Alfresco created and populated tables int the "alfresco" MySQL database
