1. Install Ubuntu Server 9.04 with no extra services (i.e. SAMBA, LAMP, Apache, Tomcat, etc. Firewall should be OFF by default; you can check /etc/ufw/ufw.conf)
2. To ensure I always have permission to make changes, I prefer to switch to the root user before performing the configuration
   

   sudo su

3. Add the partner repository by uncommenting the following from /etc/apt/sources.list
   

   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner

4. Refresh the apt cache for the partner repository
   

   apt-get update

5. Install Alfresco
   

   apt-get install alfresco-community

6. Append the following to /usr/share/tomcat6/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
   

   cifs.enabled=true
cifs.Server.Name=alfresco
cifs.ipv6.enabled=false
cifs.tcpipSMB.port=1445
cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=1137
cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=1138
cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=1139

7. To load the NAT module at system startup append the following to /etc/modules
   

   iptable_nat

8. Enable port forwarding. In /etc/sysctl.conf uncomment the following line
   

   net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

9. Configure port forwarding
   

   iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 445 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 139 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1139
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 137 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1137
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 138 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1138

10. Save iptables configuration
    

    iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules

11. Set network interface to load iptables configuration at system startup. Append the following to the end of your primary network interface configuration in /etc/network/interfaces
    

    pre-up iptables-restore /etc/iptables.rules

12. Reboot server. Ensure you can connect to "http://ServerIPAddress:8080/alfresco" and "http://ServerIPAddress:8080/share" using your web browser. Also ensure you can connect to "\\ServerIPAddress\Alfresco" using Windows Explorer. Log into each interface with user name and password of "admin"
