You might want to try it with a different Java version. Try downloading the Sun JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/index.html.

Set the correct JAVA_HOME and include $JAVA_HOME/bin in the PATH and try starting it again.

I added the following:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/bin/java
export PATH=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/bin/java/bin

Which are the correct paths. Now on Alfreso start I get the following error.

LINUXTEST:~ # /opt/Alfresco/alfresco.sh start
/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.sh: line 11: uname: command not found
/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.sh: line 30: dirname: command not found
Cannot find /catalina.sh
This file is needed to run this program

I am still doing something wrong

You need to cd in /opt/Alfresco first.

# cd /opt/Alfresco
# ./alfresco.sh start
# tail -f alfresco.log

Alternatively just edit alfresco.sh and set the absolute path for ALF_HOME.
