CentOS 5 has a JVM installed that doesn't get along well with Alfresco. Download the Java SE Development Kit (current version JDK 6 Update 13) from java.sun.com. There are rpm's available for easy installation.

Then you need to tell your CentOS installation to use Sun's java, instead of the open source one that came with CentOS. The CenOS forum has a thread that describes how to do it here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8390

I found that Alfresco still wouldn't work with the new java until I uninstalled and re-installed Alfresco. So, the moral of the story is to have the correct java in place before starting the installation.

Hi thanks for that, I had a look and changed the version of Java CentOS was using. I have done a new install of Alfresco but I still get the same error as above in my previous post.

Do you have any other ideas as to whats going wrong with this?

Cheers
