We recently downloaded the community 3.0 version of OpenKM. In another post it was stated

"Files on OpenKM can be stored on several ways, dbms ( postgre, mysql, oracle ) or file system."

We would really like to try just storing the files on the file system. Is there explicit directions on doing this?

You have to modify the repository.xml file to use a different backend. See http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for more info because it is not simple to manage this. Or search in this forum because I remember some related posts.

Can you provide a specific link, or better instructions so that we can have a better guide on how to do this? I am sure there are many out there who would like the backend to be a filesystem instead of a database, and detailed instructions would be great. If you provide the basic step by step guide, I'll convert it into a more detailed one, well translated with screenshots.

We MUST improve documentation.

Thanks for the offer Wiseman! We have looked at several documentation control systems. OpenKM is the simplest of the bunch and I think we would use it. It does what we need with some nice extra features, quick learning curve and not get in the way, the only mark against it is the database repository and not the file system for the actual folder/files. So I ask again, if the developers could give explicit directions on a web page instead of telling us to go search that would be very useful, we are not programers, but at least technically literate and willing to try given directions.

You should read Support > Documentation > Install Guide. It is simple, but require some knowledge bout JDBC and Jackrabbit.

We too would prefer to use a file system for the storage. It might not hurt if we use this thread to keep a track of what what we do and what happens.

I did a forum search for "repository.xml".
it turns up a few useful posts, such as:

Where are the files?

and

Repository (Spanish - I ran it through Google translate)
