Hi all,

I get the same problem, only my is due to power failures. I have a UPS, but it doesn't last most of the blackouts. And the Ubuntu server and my UPS don't play nice so I cant even shut down gracefully.

My Alfresco server is full of data.

I am working on Ubuntu 10.10 and am still on Alfresco community 3.4b.

I renamed the catalina.pid service to another name, which has worked before, but this time the server still returns the 404 error when browsing to server:8080/alfresco.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

M

I'm having the same problem with a new 3.4d install. I ran into the pdfbox error that killed the process. I replace pdfbox with a newer version, deleted the catalina.pid file and attempted to restart. mysql starts and tomcat says it's restarting, but something interrupts it or shuts it down.

service alfresco status says tomcat is not running but mysql is. A new catalina.pid file is created, but when I try "service alfresco stop" I get the "found but no matching process was found" error. Which log file do I look in to find what's interrupting the tomcat startup?
