Alfresco runs fine unless I run as a Windows Service

dfarrow — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:44:06 GMT

I set up Alfresco Community Edition 3.2r2 on our Windows Server 2003 machine. The Alfresco and Share apps run fine when I manually start the server (using the "Start Alfresco Server" shortcut in the "Start" menu). Next, I installed Alfresco as a Windows Service using the command: service.bat instal

Do you have a port other than 8080? If so, you are possible getting this problem.

At any case, solution this problem would be -

Go to <ALF_HOME>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml and uncomment the following and also fix the endpoint URLs -

       <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
          <remote>

             <endpoint>
                <id>alfresco-noauth</id>
                <name>Alfresco - unauthenticated access</name>
                <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that do not require authentication</description>
                <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
                <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
                <identity>none</identity>
             </endpoint>

             <endpoint>
                <id>alfresco</id>
                <name>Alfresco - user access</name>
                <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that require user authentication</description>
                <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
                <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
                <identity>user</identity>
             </endpoint>

             <endpoint>
                <id>alfresco-feed</id>
                <name>Alfresco Feed</name>
                <description>Alfresco Feed - supports basic HTTP authentication</description>
                <connector-id>http</connector-id>
                <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
                <basic-auth>true</basic-auth>
                <identity>user</identity>
             </endpoint>
             
          </remote>
       </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

By the way, if you don't have the file in web-extension directory, get it from WEB-INF/classes/alfresco directory.

Hope this helps!
