Now I get this error message when I try to load the site:type Status reportmessage /alfresco/description The requested resource (/alfresco/) is

Looks like Alfresco didn't shut down properly before you tried to restart it.

Make sure the java process has gone before trying the restart.

Thanks,

Mike,

Would you be able to clarify a bit what you mean by "making sure the java process has gone"?

I'm having a similiar problem. The first time I didn't shutdown Alfresco correctly. I did get Alfresco back up and running, then did a restart (using CLI) - and now I get the 404 error.

Mac OS X 10.4 - Java 1.5

I can see the 'java' process running…but still get the same error. If I kill the java process, then the browser returns a local error (browser built-in "cannot find page") - however, the tomcat homepage still functions.

Thanks for such a great project.

From a Terminal prompt, do

ps -A‍

Look for any java processes along the lines of:

2906 ttys000    1:28.01 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/bin/java -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Djava.util…‍

Make a note of the process id 2906 and kill it using

kill -9 2906‍

Note that is a "forced" shutdown and therefore a last resort where a reboot isn't practical or desirable.

Any persistent "404" errors on /alfresco/ need further investigation by looking into the log files.

Thanks,
Mike
