I am installing Alfresco community version 6.0.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with alfresco-search-services.

While installing alfresco-search-services in ubuntu 18.04 LTS when i am running the command:-

./solr start -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"

I am getting the error described below:-

Maybe a permissions error ? Is dms user able to write in this path ? Maybe some files have root owner.

When i am logged in as su and when running the command as su login it is giving the error:

root@dmsjupro:/home/dms/acs/alfresco-search-services# ./solr/bin/solr start -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"
WARNING: Starting Solr as the root user is a security risk and not considered best practice. Exiting.
Please consult the Reference Guide. To override this check, start with argument '-force'

Please help.

OK, try to stop the process and change all perms to dms "sudo chown -R dms: /home/dms/acs/"

Then restart solr with dms user, not root.

Regards.

Sir, I am getting this on running above command

chown: missing operand after ‘/home/dms/acs/’
Try 'chown --help' for more information.
root@dmsjupro:/# sudo chown -R dms: /home/dms/acs/
chown: invalid spec: ‘dms:’
root@dmsjupro:/#

I solved the issue instead running the command :

./solr/bin/solr start -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"

Run this command: ./solr/bin/solr start -force "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"

It solves my issue.

I have installed Alfresco 6.0.7 using the link :http://alfrescoeasy.blogspot.com/2019/02/install-alfresco-content-service-60-on.html.

At step 20 i have installed postgresql instead Mysql .

And i have manually installed tomcat and postgresql.

And started tomcat and postgresql using the commands:

root@dmsjupro:/opt/tomcat/bin# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.

root@dmsjupro:/etc/init.d# ./postgresql start
[ ok ] Starting postgresql (via systemctl): postgresql.service.

But while opening localhost:8080/share/page/ in browser i am getting error as in the image as attached here.

Hi @akash251998,

Are there any entries in either the tomcat or alfresco log files? If so please add them here.

Also can you post your alfresco.global properties file?

Can you connect to postgres from the command line - are you sure it's running correctly?

Did you install ImageMagik as per step 21 in the blog? And then Solr step 22?

Cheers,

ps - any reason why you're installing 6.0 rather than the latest, 6.2?

No i had installed Imagebrick manually then done the step 22. And there is no tomcat and log files.

How to connect to postgresql using command line i am doing the installation on ubuntu 18.04.

Hi @akash251998,

On your Ubunto box you should be able to connect to the database from the cmd prompt like so:

psql DBNAME USERNAME

This should show whether postgres is running correctly.

HTH,
