Hi,

Maybe your issue is related to [ACE-4162] Alfresco Enterprise full installer for Linux quits on RHEL7.1 - Alfresco JIRA

Could you check all your locale ?

I have updated my locale and chose the "All locales" option during the locales update both on the debian where I am doing the ssh access to my server and to the debian server as well. What do I try?

I have a problem with the workaround stated here:

As a workaround add the following in the /etc/locale.conf file, log out and then log in:
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

I cannot seem to find the file locale.conf in etc. I only have locale.gen. Or is it in a different directory in debian? I am sorry I am not very much adept in Linux.

I have successfully installed it by doing the following steps:

1. Commented out the Send_ENV in /etc/ssh/ssh_config variable in the local machine and Accept_ENV in /etc/ssh/sshd_config variable in the server.

2. Edited /etc/locale.gen to uncomment en_US.UTF-8.

3. Ran locale-gen

4. Edited /etc/locale.conf and added LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

5. Successfully installed alfresco.

However, when I am trying to reach it via its URL which is <server ip address>:8081/share (I used 8081 as its port during the installation because 8080 is being used by another application), it shows me a 404 page. How do I fix this?

Tomcat's log file is located under $ALF_HOME/tomcat/logs.

$ALF_HOME is the directory where you installed Alfresco.

Here is the errors :

"SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-apr-8081"]
java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [98] Address already in use"

It seems that you more than one services trying to bind on 8081 port. Shutdown the service that use the port and restart Alfresco.

You can use the command "netstat" to achieve this.

What I did was to follow the instructions here to change the Tomcat port. After that it worked. Thanks for helping me out.
