This is likely to be related to your earlier Xerces version conflict. Do you have more than one version of Xerces jars on your classpath ?

What is your environment - app server / DB / OS ? Have you tried the same steps using a clean Alfresco 2.9B download (with bundled Tomcat) ?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your reply.

This is likely to be related to your earlier Xerces version conflict. Do you have more than one version of Xerces jars on your classpath ?

In fact my classpath is defined in /etc/environment (i'm using Ubuntu) as /var/lib/tomcat5/shared/classes. In this location there is no xercesImpl-*.jar. So i guess Alfresco is using it from /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps.alfresco_2.9/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl-2.8.0.jar

What is your environment - app server / DB / OS ? Have you tried the same steps using a clean Alfresco 2.9B download (with bundled Tomcat) ?

I'm using Ubuntu-server 7.04 with kernel version 2.6.20-15-server. MySQL is version 5.0.38 and Tomcat is version 5.0.30-12. I havent tried installing the bundle (yet), becasue i prefer having a tomcat installation and installing the alfresco WAR.

Kind regards,

Koen Bonnet

For Alfresco, you should use Tomcat 5.5.x rather than Tomcat 5.0.x.
