I think you have problems with your network configuration, based on the log you posted:

Caused by: org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 00300000 Failed to get server IP address‍

and

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: hmis: hmis: Name or service not known‍

Make sure everything network related is working and try again.

You should confirm that your hostname and IP address is in /etc/hosts. If you don't you will get an error similar to that one.

Also, I highly recommend you use 5.0.c instead of 5.0.a so long as you don't need one of the removed pieces (Explorer UI, workflow console, etc).

Hello,

I have the same problem, How you should configure /etc/hosts?.

Regards.

It's important to give people answer, specially after asking….

To edit the host file, you just have to add the hostname with the local ip ( 127.0.0.1 )

Let's say by default your hosts file is :

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domain1
::1

——– edit the file to have it this way ——

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domain1
::1
127.0.0.1 YourHostName

———————————

To find the hostname, 2 ways…
1) in the share.log like the post above you have an error telling you this :

"Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.net.UnknownHostException: hmis: hmis: Name or service not known"

The hostname is hmis in this case.
So in the exemple it will be

127.0.0.1 hmis

2) Type the command line hostname in a linux env.

Good luck.
