I recently found out, that I can override dir.root with command line options, so I can at least work around this problem.

PS. I also tried to deploy alfresco to tomcat 5. The alfresco-global.properties was loaded there, but dir.root property was not overriden too.

The configuration in your first posting is correct and should work.

The only thing I can see that may go wrong would be the setting of ${catalina.base}. Could you do a quick test where you hard code that path? And is catalina.properties readable and in the correct place, which is under tomcat's "conf" directory.

Tomcat6w.exe, I use to start alfresco has this option: -Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\Tomcat - which seems ok since tomcat is installed there.
File catalina.properties is in C:\Program Files\Tomcat\conf which should be also correct. An its content I posted above.

To test acces rights to the file I set rights to read to Everyone and restarted the service. Still no change …

What did you mean by hardcoding cataline.base configuration? Where exactly?

Same for me with Alfresco 3.4a and Tomcat6 (linux)

Same problem for me too. Clean install of Alfresco 3.4c on Windows 7 and everything in the shared folder is ignored.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet?

In my case the problem was the following line in catalina.properties, which contained an incorrect reference to an old installation path.


shared.loader=Alfresco_Installation_Folder/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes

Fixing the path corrected the problem
