Starting Alfresco 3.4.d on Windows

Hi,I've installed Alfresco 3.4.d Community on Windows 7. Startup via Windows Service works perfectly fine. I'd like to start it from Command Prompt by executing:C:\Alfresco34d\tomcat\bin>startup.batwhile MySQL was running. I've got the following error:21:43:36,831 ERROR [web.context.ContextLoade

In alfresco3.4 if you have installed dedicated mysql instance then you can see two avilable services in the windows services list.
Which are autostart services so what you need to do is first change it to manual and restart your machine then start your instance by the bat file you have mentioned.
I think this should work.

I just want to start tha Apache server from batch-file. The MySQL database canbe started as a service. The Alfresco server service was stopped during the execution of the batch-file.

I've found this topic regarding the starting Alfresco by batch-file http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=26149#p84985. I'm running into the same issue as described earlier 😞

Got it. Here's the solution for the next one running into this issue:
Alfresco\tomcat\bin contains two batch-files:
alf_start.bat and catalina.bat
alf_start.bat starts MySQL and Tomcat
catalina.bat starts only Tomcat.

While executing catalina.bat with a started MySQL I've faced lots of exceptions, most of them memory-related. After using this setenv.bat the server came up and you can reach share. There is still an exception which is of minor importance:


set JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_22
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -server

You might need to change the jave path to your environment.
