Deploy Private Document Management System with KnowledgeTree

DMS on Windows By Kefa Rabah, [email protected] Dec 10 2010 GTS Institute

1.0 Introduction In this Hands-on Labs session, we’re going to learn how to install and configure Windows 7 OS which we then use to install your own private online KnowledgeTree Document Management System. However, for enterprise environment you may want to install a server version instead i.e., Win 2k3/2k8 Active Directory if possible to manage your centralized authentication.. KnowledgeTree is PHP-based, open source document management software that is easy to install and use across a broad range of organizations. The features included in the community edition – including workflow, version control and audit trails – help manage the document lifecycle, promote collaboration, reduce paper and ensure compliance. KnowledgeTree Community Edition is licensed under the GNU GPL version 3. Hands-on Labs Session In this Hands-on Lab session, you’ll learn how to setup virtual network on VMware (you may also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Sun). In this lab session, we’ll concentrate on installing KnowledgeTree DMS on a clean install Windows 7 machine. However, for enterprise environment you may want to install a server version instead i.e., Win 2k3/2k8. Finally, we’ll go through a step-by-step process to install KnowledgeTree CE DMS on Windows with all the necessary prerequisites. You’ll also have opportunity to do some assignments at the end of the lab session. Upon completion of the hands-on lab you’ll have gained a competency level and a capability to be able to plan design implement and deploy a document management solution using KnowledgeTree DMS.

Part 1: Install & Configure Windows OS It’s assumed that you already have any of the Windows XP/Vista/7/2003/2008 in place or know to install one. If not you can check out our excellent hands-on manuals listed below to get you started.
