Have you started the standalone deployment receiver before trying to deploy to it?

Are there any errors in your deployment.log file ?

Thanks mrogers for your reply….
I searched my whole alfresco workspace and I cant find deployment.log file. May be I had missed some installation files. I will explain the setups which I had installed.
Used this link for installation –> http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_Edition_file_list_3.3g
Installed:
(1) Alfresco-Community-3.3g-Full-Setup.exe (C:\Alfresco)
(2) Alfresco-DeploymentCommunity-3.3g-Setup.exe (since Standalone Deployment Receiver was not installed after the complete setup, I had installed this separately) —- (C:\Alfresco\Deployment)

As explained I had started
(1) Alfresco Web Server.
(2) Alfresco Virtual Server.
(3) Alfresco Standalone Deployment Receiver from start menu.
I can view the logs of both alfresco web servers. But I dont know where to view the logs of Standalone Deployment Receiver.

So I can preview my website but when tried to deploy, its shows the above mentioned error.
Thanks once again for your patience.

I suspect your problem is on the receiving end so that stack trace does not help.

Hi…
At last I found to deploy my web project by modifying the port to 50500 and Target name to avm… Now the deployment is successful. I dont have idea about why its not successfully deployed when I used the port 44100. If anyone have idea, kindly post…

You have deployed to a different target on a different deployment engine.

I still suspect that your standalone deployment server is not running. Have you found the deployment.log file yet, it
should be in the <sdr deploy dir>/logs directory.

Thanks for your immediate reply mrogers….
I think you are correct… because when I typed netstat -a in cmd prompt, I cant see the port 44100 listening. But 50500 port is there. So it seems RMI port is not open..

For your question, there is no such "logs" folder inside deployment directory (sorry for repeating again). As said above I had installed
(1) Alfresco-Community-3.3g-Full-Setup.exe (C:\Alfresco)
(2) Alfresco-DeploymentCommunity-3.3g-Setup.exe (since Standalone Deployment Receiver was not installed after the complete setup, I had installed this in —> C:\Alfresco\Deployment)

When I searched for *.log files (in whole alfresco), I can see them only in tomcat and virtual tomcat folder.
And the logs folder exists only in tomcat and virtual tomcat.

In C:\Alfresco\Deployment, I can see only two files regarding logs. They are:
(1) log4j.property
(2) log4j-1.2.15 (jar file)

Do I need to create the logs folder manually or do I need to install any other .exe??

I see that you are using windows.

Your logs folder will be C:\Alfresco\Deployment\logs however it sounds like you are not getting as far as creating the log file.

From a windows command prompt type "java -version" to check that you have java installed. 3.3G needs a 1.6 JRE.
Then type "set" and make sure you have an Environment variable set for JAVA_HOME.

Then cd to c:\alfresco\deployment and run deploy_start from your command prompt.

There may be some error message.

Hi mrogers….
Thanks a lot…Its correct… I hadn't setted an environmental variable for JAVA_HOME.. Now I can successfully deploy using the port 44100 (default). The logs folder are automatically created.
