I have used/tested 1.2 in the past, and really like it. I am now in a situation where I need to install OpenKM from scratch on a windows box. After significant amounts of time digging around in the forum, and www.openkm.com in general, I have come to the reliaztion that there is no formal install docs or instructions of any kind for installing the 2.0 release...

This is a Bad Thing IMHO.

If I knew enough (actually, anything at all) about the openKM project, or its releated technologies in Java, I would definately try to help to get some documentation made, but I really have nothing to contribute, other than a rather frustrating experiance so far in "field testing" and finding the install process, or complete lack thereof, rather frustrating.

Please, could someone either provide some install/setup instructions or at least gently point me in the correct direction to find such a thing?

I don't see the problem: installing OpenKM 1.2 and OpenKM 2.0 is the same task.

Respectfully, it doesn't seem that way to me. Primarily, it seems that the java package that should be installed first, and is linked to in the quick install instructions, doesn't contain the right server components. I get an error when I run the run.bat file that is looking for a path that does not exist, under c:\program files\java\server... don't have the exact path at the moment.

If nothing changed on the openKM side of things, perhaps something changed on Sun's java site? I installed 1.2 a few months ago, along with the java components that were linked from the site, and it was completly painless and worked perfecty. I tried the 2.0 install on a cleanly installed XP SP2 machine in the last few days, and had no success.

For this problem, look at this forum thread. Installing in Windows with JDK 1.5 seems to be a little confuse. You needs some Java knowledges for this task. Also you can contact us for Professional Support.

I'm with Matt - I have just downloaded the zip file (OpenKM-2.0_JBoss-4.2.2.GA.zip)for OPenKm - I'd like to use a document management system for my technical papers and thought I'd give this software a go. I have found no information that tells me how to install OpenKM.

I'm not sure what environment variable needs setting, what batch file to run, whether additional software needs to be in place beforehand ... so far OpenKM could be wonderful but I can't find out ... any help would be appreciated ...

I found some information on installation and installed JDK and followed the instructions that I found regarding startup and login. I have now just loaded up two files onto the database and attempted a search without success.

The two files were .pdfs and the search term is within the text of the pdf. I can see a very brief "updating search" window appearing but that's it. Other than that the search does not pull up either file.

Is there a user manual I could download?
