How to install the CMF 1) Rename the file [WCM-Root]/conf/backoffice/sitesConfigs/CHANGE-ME.xml to [WCM-Root]/conf/backoffice/sitesConfigs/wcmSampleSite.xml and then edit it to specify the database location, credentials and table name as well as the url, preview url and generation path. You can use the default values for the url and previewURL as well as the table name and database name, if you change these values you must change the values in the apache.conf file that will be used to define the virtualHosts in step 3. 2) Create a database that has the same name as defined in the configuration file you just editted(the default database name is sqlalias). Run the sql script found in the file [WCM-Root]/cmf-www-sampleapp/install/sql_alias.sql on the newly created database to create the table. You can create the database and run the script from PHPMyAdmin if you are uncomfortable with the mysql console. 3) Append the contents of [WCM-Root]/cmf-www-sampleapp/install/apache.conf to the file were you specify your apache virtual hosts, this is where the default file is often found: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default 4) Rename the file [WCM-Root]/conf/cmf-www-sampleapp/configuration.changeme.php to [WCM-Root]/conf/cmf-www-sampleapp/configuration.php You can configure certain paths in this file as well as set the credentials to access the backoffices' ReST interface that will be used to access WCM'S generation methods.
