You need to run virtual_start.bat in your install folder.

Its a different server for preview.

This may also occur if you're not connected to a network (as I discovered on the train earlier).

I didn't get things working until I made a hosts entry that mapped the virtual domain back to localhost. How are the virtual names meant to work?

I have tried to follow all required instructions in order to make the virtual server work :
(1) Connect to a network
(2) Run virtual_start.bat
(3) Try stopping and restarting the Virtualization Server

But I still can't visulize the following pages :
http://www-alfresco-www--admin.avm.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/
Or
http://www-alfresco-www--admin.avm.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/ROOT/index.jsp

Those pages cannot be displayed or unavailable???

What is wrong with the set-up?
I think the complete update set-up procedure is required then.

Is there anyone can help?

Thanks,

Razali

Have you tried entering the URLs into your hosts file and pointing them back at 127.0.0.1? (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for XP, /etc/hosts for *nix). I'm not sure how the server does its thing (entering some DNS info at a low level?), but until I entered some resolving for the dynamic urls manually, I didn't get anything.

Mr. Marcus.. Thank you for your suggestion.
I have tried entering IP 127.0.0.1 as localhost's in host file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and I also have done all tutorial in the manual.

But, I still can't visulize those pages.
How to check the virtual server is running without error?.

Is there any help from Alfresco Team?

Thanks.

Hi

The Virtualization server is configured (by default) to use a DNS hosted by Alfresco that does wildcard resolution to 127.0.0.1. Perhaps your machine is unable to access this server (alfrescodemo.net)?

Please see: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_the_Virtualization_Server

Currently, I only have docs for using ip.alfrescodemo.net, but I intend to post instructions for how to configure BIND 9, for those who'd like to work off line.

Cheers,

PS: You don't need (or want) to fiddle with your "hosts" file. See the wiki page above to understand why.

Maybe you're not browsing from the machine the server runs on? Since 127.0.0.1 points back to the host your browser runs on, this will only work on the server itself.

Re: Vitualization Server not available

jcox — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 14:39:20 GMT

Note that with a small configuration change, you can use
the virtualization server from any machine.

For details, see:

I'm having trouble getting WCM to complete its initilasation. alf_start completes but trying to run virtual_start results in a Windows error
——-
Widows cannot find ' -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager'. Make sure you typed the name correctly …
——-
The cmd window has stopped at:
Using JAVA_OPTS: -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file="${catalina.base}\conf\logging.properties"

Any ideas?
