Hello all, I'm new here and try to fix my installation problems with Alfresco Community Edition 23.2.1 on Windows Server 2019
Configuration:
- Alfresco 23.2.1 from alfresco-content-services-community-distribution-23.2.1.zip
- .wars 'alfresco', 'share' and 'ROOT' are deployed in webapps
- Windows Server 2019
- Apache Tomcat/10.1.44
- Activemq is running
- PostgreSQL database 15 running
(alfresco already installed the tables in db alfresco)
- postgresql-42.7.5.jar driver in C:\Alfresco\apache-tomcat-10.1.44\lib
- shared loader set in catalina.properties:
shared.loader=C:/Alfresco/apache-tomcat-10.1.44/shared/classes,C:/Alfresco/apache-tomcat-10.1.44/shared/lib/*.jar

C:\Alfresco\apache-tomcat-10.1.44\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties
