7.1 Zip Install - Cannot find Alfresco Repository

foetoid — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 09:24:02 GMT

Attempting a build to get familiar with the product. After build completion 8080 returns: Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?) and can't login on 8080/share.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Would like to be able to test your product.

There are some inconsistencies in the documentation between the following articles.

Here's my full build process on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

The error usually refers to share.loader misconfigured or system may not be able to read the alfresco-global.properties. Please cross check the configs and permissions that's the only clue here.

Also you can review this guide that may be helpful : https://javaworld-abhinav.blogspot.com/2021/06/setup-acs70-ass201-and-transformation-service.html

Hi foetoid,

maybe helpfull:

sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jre tomcat9 postfresql activemq libreoffice imagemagick unzip libpostgresql-jdbc-jav

postfresql should be postgresql - right?

Have now rebuilt everything exactly as you indicated - but at following command there is failure at my system

cp /usr/share/java/postgresql*.jar /var/lib/tomcat9/lib/

cp: unable to call stat for '/usr/share/java/postgresql*.jar': file or directory not found

Had been the same failure at your system? On my system there is no *.jar at all.
