What does the command line look like for starting tomcat? Specifically, you may need to have '-XX:MaxPermSize=160m ' in your Java command line options.

I have the same problem in the latest version. It seems to prevent Tomcat from starting.
This is using a clean Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid install.

I understand that the community version is unsupported, but if that means releasing installs that don't even start, that's not exactly going to grow the community.

I encountered the same problem and resolved it by applying the correct memory settings for the java virtual machine.
Please refer to the documentation on "Tuning the JVM" and "JVM settings" (see link below).

http://docs.alfresco.com/3.4/topic/com.alfresco.Enterprise_3_4_0.doc/concepts/jvm-tuning.html

For myself I run Alfresco with the following JAVA_OPTS configuration:
-server -Xss1024K -Xms2G -Xmx4G -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=1G

Kind regards,
Georg

I also encountered this problem, but modifying the memory settings didn't resolve it. I had loaded several customizations into the alfresco webapp, one of them must have been the problem. I replaced my customized alfresco webapp with the clean alfresco.war from the distribution. Alfresco started cleanly with this war. After I got alfresco running and verified that it was working properly I shut it down and reloaded my custom alfresco.war. And now alfresco runs fine.
