I am one step closer,

All the refused connection errors has been fixed, I had to enable networking on the mysql server.

Now I have a permissions problem with creating alfresco.log.
I'm getting this error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: alfresco.log (Permission denied)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:177)

What I've read so far is it all depends on from where you start tomcat. In freebsd I'm starting tomcat with the installed rc script, this is so that tomcat starts up on boot.
Is there a way for me to fix this permissions problem while still using the rc script?

Hi hamba

I have also tried to install the 2.9.0B version but it gave me too many errors. Then Alfresco created the 2.9.0.C_dev version wich worked fine for me (easier to install) why dont you give a try to the last 2.9C_dev nightly build? you can find it in this link:

Hope it helps!!!
