The error reported is that it can't find your deployment.properties file.

Does the file exist in /opt/deployment?

Is it readable by your java process.

I run ./deploy_start.sh as root.
now the program can be started well ,but if I moved alfresco-community-deployment-3.2.zip out, the error come out.

After extracting the install zip file , I didn't make any changes to other files except adding " -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxxx " to ./deploy_start.sh
why it can't be ran directly ? need to change other things?

here is what I am confused about:
if the alfresco-community-deployment-3.2.zip under the dir , start is OK , see nohup.out

if the zip file is not under the dir ,the start fails ,see nohup.out

why this happen ?
it seems it can't load the deployment.properties file under the dir ,but can load the one in the zip file .
confuse a lot.

We solved the same problem by adding a classpath argument "-cp ." to the java process in deploy_start.sh and deploy_stop.sh


#!/bin/sh
nohup java -server -cp . -Djava.ext.dirs=. org.alfresco.deployment.Main application-context.xml
‍‍‍‍

It seems like that on some systems, the "-Djava.ext.dirs=." only loads the zip and jar files (and in this case not deployment.properties)
