Flip Factory Installation
662910Oct 1 2008 — edited Feb 4 2011Has anyone had any luck in installing and configuring this correctly, I found so many different guides to use that I got confused.
First here's my setup:
Content Server - Red Hat Linux 4 32bits
Inbound Refinery - Windows Server 2003
The version of the content and the refinery is 10gr3.
Here's what I found confusing, If I follow the documentation of the DAM plugin installation, it tells me how to install and configure Flip Factory, But If I read the readme inside the videomanager plugin there's a more specific installation guide.
So I followed the guide on the readme , because it specifically guided the installation of flip factory 6x.
It worked the plugins appeared on flipfactory.
My problem is the following, if I try to run any conversion it states that the DefaultMediaPhysicalRoot is not set.
Okay I then read about this, and discovered that I had to share a folder between UNIX and Windows.
Okay I set up samba and tested it and it was OK.
So to sum up on the refinery it's like this:
DefaultMediaPhysicalRoot=\\(contentserveradress)/contentserver/weblayout/
DefaultMediaUrlRoot=http://(contentserveradress)/idc/
on the Content it's like this:
DefaultMediaPhysicalRoot=/oracle/product/10.1.3/ucm/weblayout/
DefaultMediaUrlRoot=http://(contentserveradress)/idc/
On the installation guide it says that both configurations will probably have different syntaxes, but they will phisically point to the same location, which they do.
But when I try to convert it says, on the refinery log:
Configuration error: The media server location 'DefaultLocation' is not valid. The location is enabled, but unable to access the root directory '\(contentserveradress)/contentserver/weblayout/'.
Exception type is 'java.lang.Throwable'.
I tried mapping the location to a drive on windows, and it works , I can access it through Y: , for example, but after I change the intradoc.cfg to this the error still continues
Configuration error: The media server location 'DefaultLocation' is not valid. The location is enabled, but unable to access the root directory 'Y:/weblayout'.
Exception type is 'java.lang.Throwable'.
Anyone has any clues???
I'm almost giving up on Flip Factory.
