3.3 load failure

[thiskey]

I installed Alfresco CE 3.3 (not sure which letter) on my Windows 7 machine. There was no previous install of Alfresco. It seemed to install perfectly well, but won't load. This is what's happening…

1. "Start Alfresco Server" (wait until it's finished)
2. Head to http://localhost:8080/alfresco/
3. Error message:

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.

I also get an error message (a much longer one) when trying to load http://localhost:8080/share/page/site-index.

I have searched the forum for this error message, but can't find a fix.

I'm not a developer, I'm a web designer (I'm working with a developer). I want to Alfresco working to get to grips with the Web Editor suite.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, in relatively non-expert terms?

Thanks everyone, much appreciated! Tom.

PS. As I should have said above, I've located the alfresco.log file and these are the contents:

Hi padmalaya, sorry to hear you're having the same problem. I still haven't fixed it. If I find a solution I'll post it here. Hopefully in the mean time someone more knowledgeable can suggest something.

Hi Thiskey,

I found a solution..hope it works for u..copy all the 3 jaxb jars from tomcat/{ROOT}/Web-INF/lib to tomcat/endorsed.
Cheers!!
