Hi Ramesh:
ReplyDeleteI send you some other ways:
1. Another easy way (both up or down) and also valid for all previous versions of Alfresco either CE or EE. Go to $TOMCAT_LOGS (i.e. /opt/alfresco51e/tomcat/logs) and type:
$ grep "Current version" catalina.out
You will obtain something like:
2016-02-20 10:26:36,614 INFO [service.descriptor.DescriptorService] [localhost-startStop-1] Alfresco started (Community). Current version: 5.1.0 (r122274-b3) schema 9.016. Originally installed version: 5.1.0 (r122274-b3) schema 9.016.
If the server is up and running:
2 In the footer of Alfresco Share (for both CE and EE), click in the logo and you will see the Alfresco version details.
3. In EE version, if you are admin, you can see the details for Alfresco version, in Administration Console.
4. And finally, you can obtain the version details from webscript:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/server
Regards.
