Alfresco    Web Script Status 500 - Internal Error

The Web Script /alfwf/service/test/configtest has responded with a status of 500 - Internal Error.

500 Description:   An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Message:   Failed to load script '/test/configtest.get.js (in classpath store file:/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/alfwf/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts)': ReferenceError: "XML" is not defined. (AlfrescoScript#54)

Seems like you have some older Rhino on your classpath. Surf is using Rhino 1.6R7 that supports E4X (the "XML" object is an E4X global object).

See http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html for some details on Rhino wrt E4X.

So do I just download and install the latest and greatest Rhino or do I need to hunt down and kill the older stuff?

I installed the jpackage repos (rhino 1.7 is available there in the 5.0 distribution) and yum install rhino worked out. There doesn't seem to be any difference in the behavior though. My alfresco seems to be using 1.6r4. I'm thinking that this might be the problem.

I ended up reinstalling and not using the centos specific war installation and then trying to add features but rather the 3b platform. I no longer have this issue.
