I had a problem that MAY be related. At least, the error thread is similar. See here…

My problem had to do with the "server" being unknown on the network even to itself. Try pinging on the server itself, to itself, by what you believe is its DNS name. See what IP address it goes to. If it is not the IP address for your connection, you know.

Again, this may not be the same problem I had. All the best…

I read that thread previously, and I didn't understand your problem very well …for hostname/host resolution problem you mean that the Alfresco server was on a remote machine, am I right? 'Cause I'm working locally (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ to be more clear). Anyway, which options did you activate in log4j settings?

Thanks anyway for your interest

Concerning the log4j options, I had set the springframework ones to debug. (Sorry, I don't have access to the file right here to check exactly.) I looked at your error thread and that might work for you as well.

Concerning the hostname thing…. It is tough for me to advise you under Windows though I will try below. However, I believe you need to deal with this because I'm pretty sure that rmi is NOT using localhost. Try this (and/or look at the firewall comment below)…

Click Start->Control Panel->Network Connection->your local connection

Click on the support tab

Read the IP address

Click Start->Control Panel->System

Click on the Computer Name tab and Full computer name

Open a Command Prompt

Type "ping YourFullComputerNameFromAbove"

See if the IP address is the one from above. If not, that is your problem. You would need to edit C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts to include your IP address and host name. Note, this is hard to keep up with if your IP address is being assigned by DHCP versus static. I switched mine back to static.

Wait, before doing any of this, check your firewall. If you have the Windows firewall or some other firewall turned on, you will need to have the appropriate ports open. In this case, I believe the defaults are 1098 and 1099. You can search for "firewall" and/or "ports" in the forum and/or Wiki to confirm that. IF appropriate for you case, you could always turn off you firewall. Don't do that, of course, if that is not appropriate.

I hope the above helps.

I checked with ping, the hostname resolution is correct, I also tried to launch Alfrescco with the firewall down, it's still not working.
