topic INSTALLATION DOES NOT WORK in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/installation-does-not-work/m-p/225216#M178346 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have spent three days trying to install Alfresco on Windows 2003 R2. I have used the full install executable. I have also installed the JDK and OOo separately and tried installing. It does not work at all. When I goto </SPAN><A href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/alfresco</A><SPAN> I get "The page cannot be displayed" error every time. I have tried installing it in C:\Alfresco and in C:\CMS. This is a fresh install of Windows, and nothing else is running on it. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have also tried the unpacking the tomcat bundle, but the installation instructions on the Alfresco Wiki are not correct. For example, the Wiki says to go to the &lt;extension&gt; directory, but after unpacking the .zip file, there is only a &lt;extension-install&gt; folder. Inside, there's a file titled "DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES!" I am at a loss as what to do.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I really would like to install and evaluate Alfresco. It looks like what we need for a project at our college. But I've tried for three days and cannot get the thing to work. When I run alf_start.bat, i get the following response: </SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />Starting tomcat …<BR />Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\CMS\tomcat<BR />Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\CMS\tomcat<BR />Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\CMS\tomcat\tmp<BR />Using JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>That's it. Nothing else. I can't find the log entries telling me what happened or is missing. I have tried installing with MySQL and with Derby. The installation creates the table and user for Alfresco in MySQL, so that works. But nothing else does.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can anyone one steer me in the right direction? Please?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:47:57 GMT tcrabtree21 2009-06-02T14:47:57Z INSTALLATION DOES NOT WORK https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/installation-does-not-work/m-p/225216#M178346 I have spent three days trying to install Alfresco on Windows 2003 R2.
