Update on Alfresco Installation on Windows 7

Hello Everyone,

I finally managed to run Alfresco on my Windows 7  desktop.

I edited some lines in alfresco-global.properties located under C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes. This is a global file used for configuration of email/database etc for Alfresco Server.

I was using mysql database for Alfresco, so my DB hostname entry in this file was

db.name=alfresco
db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco
db.host=localhost
db.port=3306

i changed it to

db.name=alfresco
db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco
db.host=127.0.0.1
db.port=3306

and my server got up and running.

Cheers!!!
