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.

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.
