Hi,

Your log shows:
SEVERE: Context [/alfresco] startup failed due to previous errors

However, it does not show any previous errors.
Are there any other errors shown in the catalina.out log?

Thanks,

Steve

Oh, I guess it might be the error that you have posted about 5 times to other places in the forums…

Please post your issue once!

Any solution to this

Re: SEVERE: Context [/alfresco] startup failed

kevinr — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:30:02 GMT

Have you changed the location you are running the tomcat start batch file from? I suggest you delete all alf_data directories and delete/recreate the database schema and try again.

Thanks,

Kevin

hi kevinr,

I delete Database schema alfresco & delete every thing in tomcat webapps,
proceed the steps as like as README &README_mysql.

deploy alfresco.war , Alfresco is running. But i get some warning message

The warning is the hint to your problem now fixed by removing the alf_data - if you configure it in an absolute location then you won't have that problem again. See the wiki page on repo configuration:

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, but I'm not sure what to do.

I have some newbie dudes:

In the URL http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration#New_Installations

It says:

Locate the distribution's extension configuration files and samples (here) and remove the .sample extensions:

    * <extensionRoot>/alfresco/extension/custom-repository-context.xml.sample
          o This ensures that the properties overrides from the files below are pulled into the server.
    * <extensionRoot>/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties.sample
          o Choose a root location for the storage of content binaries and index files.
          o Adjust properties here to change the database connection details.
          o Pay attention to the choice of JDBC driver used with each connection type.
    * <extensionRoot>/alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties.sample
          o Choose a Hibernate schema most appropriate to your database (Hibernate Dialects).

I did it for tomcat. This files are now on my <TOMCAT_HOME>/share/classes and I removed the .sample extension

My dude is if I need to edit something in the custom-repository-context.xml because it looks everything points to classpath relative URLs. For example:


    <!– overriding to point to custom properties –>
    <bean id="repository-properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/repository.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/version.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/domain/transaction.properties</value>

                <!– Override basic repository properties –>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties</value>
         
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I didn't touch this file but the custom.repository.properties and changed the necesary lines to indicate the root location for the storage of content binaries and index files:

dir.root=/srv/alfresco/data‍

(The place I want to store the data on my server)

and also uncommented the database connection info for MySQL:

db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco
‍‍‍

(I put the MySQL driver into <TOMCAT_HOME>/common/lib. The driver jar is mysql-connector-java-5.0.7-bin.jar)

I edited the custom-hibernate-dialect.properties file too. I uncomented the MySQL line:

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect‍

Then I executed the db_setup.sql script. It created the alfresco users and an empty DB (Is this correct? If so when does Alfresco build the complete schema?)

After doing all this I copied the alfresco.war to <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps

Then I started the server. after that the context couldn't be initialized. I looked for the alfresco.log and found the same error message posted in this topic:

11:35:48,427 WARN  [org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistryFactoryBean] Could not detect RMI registry - creating new one

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.
…‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also noticed that even when the webapp didn't started, during the deploying process the directory <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/alf_data with some subdirectories was created.

I don't have a clue how I can solve this. I'm total noob on alfresco. ops:

I'll apreciate any help.

The error suggests that there is still an old alf_data directory lying around from before you tried recreating the schema. Delete all alf_data directories and recreate the DB again using the script and it should start ok. The Alfresco server will automatically create the required tables in the DB schema on startup.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,there,

after I increase the size of the java heap, and recreate alfresco database, it runs no problem now. Thanks!

The other point is: i also tried to run the war without Mysql but with Hsql,
it still not work.

However, I will go with Mysql and continue my try-out, insead of sharepoint.

thanks again!

Simon
