Getting error when Alfresco community edition 5.0.d is deploying on Geronimo 3.0

Question

When I am deploying Alfresco community edition 5.0.d had following error

Error when deploying on geronimo

The application was not deployed.
web.xml for web app alfresco includes security elements but Geronimo deployment plan is not provided or does not contain element necessary to configure security accordingly.

Answer 1

I am not aware with Geronimo 3.0, but i think this server is not supported by alfresco.In official documentation of alfresco you will find steps for installing alfresco in Jboss,Tomcat or Weblogic.

In case of above mentioned error ,In side war file of alfresco there is one web.xml.The elements of that file is not matching with your server.You may need to change that file from war,even after changing that you will face some issues, Which you will need to resolve.

There are some links on forum you may find that usefull.
