Alfresco and Ingres recently announced a partnership, the first product of which is an all-in-one installer with GUI that installs Apache Tomcat, Java, Ingres, and Alfresco. This gives developers and end users a very easy way to get started with the two technologies, which together form a fully enterprise-ready open source content management solution.

We got a chance to try the installer on a Linux VM here. There were a few hiccups at the beginning; it turns out that the package won’t work if it is installed as root (this seems to be an Ingres thing). Once we re-tried the installation as a non-root user, it worked like a charm. Actually, this is one of the easiest installs I’ve ever seen for enterprise Linux software. We’ll keep you posted with our impressions as we further explore the bundle.
