Any idea on how I start the virtualization server on Linux?Alfresco 2.0I get 15:35:35,252 WARN [org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistryFactoryBean] Could not detect RMI registry - creating new one‍… and … 15:35:48,434 INFO [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] [AVM,DISK,,[AVM,VirtualView]] [AVM,Virtua

Fire it up manually using virtual_start.sh in $ALF_HOME. Then

tail -f ./virtual-tomcat/logs/catalina.out

and grep for any ERRORS

Another way on unix is to mimic how the /etc/init.d script used by
tomcat.   This is what I do myself on Debian Linux.
Note that I've got

/usr/bin/tomcat-virtual-alfresco as a symlink pointing to:
/opt/tomcat-virtual-alfresco/bin/catalina.sh

This is just a suggestion. It works nicely on my debian box
but you may want to fiddle with things a bit if you're on a
different distro.     Anyway, here's my /etc/init.d/tomcat-virtual-alfresco
With this i can say

      tomcat-virtual-alfresco start

Or:

      tomcat-virtual-alfresco stop

The issue of the virtualization server giving up
if it's started before the alfresco webapp has been
resolved in Alfresco 2.1 ENTERPRISE.
