Share Not starting

bfreeman — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:32:22 GMT

I've installed a new copy of Alfresco 3.2r and have Alfresco, Mobile, and Studio running correctly. However, I cannot get Share to start up. I've gone through all of the docs and checked every config file I can find that might be related, but haven't been able to get it going. Any advice is apprecia

Here are some additional errors I am getting. Perhaps more relevant than the first.

This is what I'm getting when I go to my share url:

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

In tomcat/logs/catalina.out I also get this:

There are two separate issues. The first is that you're trying to launch the Rhino JavaScript debugger on a headless system. Have you modified log4j.properties?

The second is simply that port 8080 is already is use. Usually this means either Alfresco didn't shutdown properly, or there's some other process already listening on that port.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the response.

Alfresco is the only app using port 8080. I shut down Alfresco and did a netstat. Nothing showed up listening on port 8080 after it was shut down. I also cannot shut the app down properly as some of the java hangs:

[root@alf Alfresco]# ./alfresco.sh stop

I then manually kill the two processes that are still hanging before I consider it down or start it back up again. Could Alfresco be configured to use port 8080 where it's not supposed to?

As for the debugger problem, it looks like I modified the Alfresco copy of log4j.properties back on Oct. 19th as is has a newer date than the others. I found /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties had log4j.logger.org.alfresco.web.scripts.AlfrescoScriptDebugger=on turned on. I turned that off and set the corresponding logging to error instead of debug and Share started up!

It looks like everything is running now, short of my ability to stop the system properly.

When you had the script debugger turned on, it would try to pop up a Swing window and if your system is headless, this would fail.

Please use the jstack command to dump the server state while it is hanging.
