Errors installing Community Edition 25.1 via Zip distribution on Windows

Hi All,

I hope you are well. I am trying to install Alfresco CE 25.1 on Windows 10 but am getting stuck when starting Tomcat.

The error is as follows:

Catalina.log:

I have tried following this guide:

Log files are attached.

Can anyone share any insights in basic terms?

Many thanks

Do you have also an alfresco.log file in the tomcat folder?

Hi Leo,

Thank you for your quick response.

Yes I will attach the Alfresco log now, however, it doesn't show anything from today unforunately.

Please let me know if I should attach anything else.

Many thanks

This is the error that stops Alfresco

2025-05-05 12:45:30,352 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader]
[main] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with
name 'jconsole.extension.dictionaryBootstrap' defined in file
[C:\Tomcat_10.0\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\de.fme.alfresco.Ja
vascriptConsole-repo\module-context.xml]:

I don't know if the Order of the Bee Support tool is compatible with ACS 25.1, their latest release seems compatible with ACS 23.x (https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/ootbee-support-tools/releases/tag/1.2.2.0). Try to remove the AMPs/JARS about it and give it another try.

Hope this helps.
