Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

fleetwoodmac — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:56:17 GMT

I have tried reinstalling Alfresco five times now on my Centos 5 x64 machine using the instructions from the Wiki "Installing Alfresco Community WAR on Centos 5" with no success. Tomcat works fine (tested with the sample application), but Alfresco gives me the 404 error message with the following p

Is that the entire exception stack trace you're seeing in the logs? This might be a permission (GRANT) problem in MySQL, but if so I would expect to see a SQLException further down in the stack trace.

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks for your reply Peter,
Here is the entire trace. I could not find any SQLException though. The trace stops after about 200 lines. Here are some more lines

Hi,

It looks like you might have a filesystem permission issue on the Alfresco based files and directories:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: alfresco.log (Permission denied)

Check to ensure that the user you are starting Tomcat as has the permissions to create/modify files on the filesystem.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Thanks Steve for the reply. I have another installation of Alfresco working fine that I am comparing the trace stack with and that particular error message also appears with the installation that works, so I am guessing that' s not the problem. I suspect because my new machine is an X64, the connector files are probably not compatible with the hardware I have … I don't know. Anyway, I am planning to use a 32bit machine instead to see what will happen.

Hi,

We test and validate Alfresco on 64bit operating systems such as Solaris and RHEL, so I doubt it is because it is not running in 32bit mode/architecture.

Steve,
You are probably right. I tried it on a 32bit machine and Alfresco still doesn't work. The messages are similar.

The interesting output that I am seeing is

"Failed to create store root: ./alf_data/contentstore"

Appreciate any help. Pulling my hair out. It works on two other machines, but not this dedicated server.

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

fleetwoodmac — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:10:29 GMT

I found this help from another forum posting

It could be - can you try changing editing the file:

tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties

and changing this value:

dir.root=./alf_data 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So I changed my /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties
and modified the dir.root to = /var/lib/alfresco/alf_data

AND IT WORKED!!!

Is this the right thing to do?

It's not in the "official instructions" in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Community_WAR_on_Centos_5

Any comments Alfresco engineers??

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

steve — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:52:53 GMT

Hi,

That is both right and wrong.
You should always change the dir.root path to something hardcoded.
We however recommend that you use the extension files for this and do not modify any of the files within the Alfresco Webapp - the reason being is that if you deploy an updated version of Alfresco you will loose your changes (which you don't if you use the extensions).

Your issues do look like a classic filesystem permissions mismatch.

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

fleetwoodmac — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:05:23 GMT

Steve,
I use root to build the Alfresco folders and files and root was used to start Tomcat. My /var/lib/alf_data is owned by tomcat. Root was recommended by the instructions. See below

# ls -l /var/lib/alfresco
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 7 tomcat tomcat 126 May 21 03:00 alf_data
‍‍‍‍

Below is the phpmyadmin display of the users having privileges to "alfresco" db

 User     Host     Type     Privileges     Grant     Action
admin    localhost    global    ALL PRIVILEGES    Yes    Edit Privileges
alfresco    localhost    database-specific    ALL PRIVILEGES    Yes    Edit Privileges
alfresco    localhost.localdomain    database-specific    ALL PRIVILEGES    Yes    Edit Privileges
root    %    global    ALL PRIVILEGES    Yes    Edit Privileges‍‍‍‍‍

When I downloaded MySQL to my server, somehow "admin" was the default user instead of "root", so I added the "root" user just to be consistent with my other installations.

Here are some other displays that I hope will uncover why I am having this problem with my Centos server.

usr/share/java mysql connector

 ls -l mysql*
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 676693 May 20 00:03 mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar

drwxr-xr-x  3 tomcat tomcat   19 May 20 00:05 org
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also reviewed the repository configuration wiki at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration#Location_of_Extension_Configuration_Files

and found very useful information there which suggests that my problem are configuration-related.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue.

In the web browser, I get:


type Status report

message /alfresco/

description The requested resource (/alfresco/) is not available.‍‍‍‍‍‍

And in the alfresco.log file I have similar output as above.

alexfisher,
Did you resolve your installation problems

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

steve — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:08:13 GMT

Hi alexfisher,

Your post gives no indication of why the server failed to start - you'll need to post the relevant parts from your catalina.out or alfresco.log showing the cause of the problem before anyone can really help you.

Steve

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

fleetwoodmac — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:44:52 GMT

Steve,
I may have resolved the mystery. You were probably right. It was a permissions problem. In the wiki instruction for installing on Centos http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Community_WAR_on_Centos_5 the chown instruction may have been mistaken

It says
[root@localhost alfresco]# chown -R tomcat.tomcat /var/lib/alfresco

Don't forget that second step – turns out it's important, or bad things happen later.

When it should say

[root@localhost alfresco]# chown -R tomcat:tomcat /var/lib/alfresco (with a colon between user and group names)

I reinstalled Alfresco on an x64 machine running Centos 5 using the custom properties configuration files and it works fine

Re: Problems installing Alfresco on x64 running Centos 5

steve — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:54:40 GMT

Hi,

Thanks for the correction to the Wiki - I have updated the Centos page.
Note, these instructions were kindly added by a community member because we don't test on Centos currently.

Steve
