3.4.c hangs during startup

[nobby]

Hi everyone,

I just installed 3.4.c on Debian.

The startup stalls at the following log entry:

==> tomcat/logs/catalina.out <==
17:23:55,148 User:System INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] Startup of 'thirdparty' subsystem, ID: [thirdparty, default] complete
17:23:55,149 User:System INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] Starting 'OOoDirect' subsystem, ID: [OOoDirect, default]
17:23:55,224 User:System INFO  [alfresco.config.FixedPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] Loading properties file from class path resource [alfresco/version.properties]
17:23:55,224 User:System INFO  [alfresco.config.JndiPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] Loading properties file from class path resource [alfresco/alfresco-shared.properties]
17:23:55,225 User:System INFO  [alfresco.config.FixedPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] Loading properties file from class path resource [alfresco/domain/cache-strategies.properties]
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Tomcat doesn't answer any requests.

TIA for any hints!

The server may hang because of so many reasons…

     start alfresco server & start jconsole and check the memory, threads & cpu utilization ….


check the property in the cache-strategies.properties file


cache.strategy=read-write

I attached the debugger. It looks like the Tomcat main thread hangs here:

The class it's trying to load is this:

org.alfresco.repo.cmis.ws.CmisPropertyIntegerDefinitionType$JaxbAccessorF_minValue‍

Any hints? TIA!

Is there any errors in your alfresco.log rather than catalina.out?

And what version of Java are you using?

[nobby]

Is there any errors in your alfresco.log rather than catalina.out?

I have switched from the installer to the WAR installation in Tomcat 7.0.4. The app doesn't seem to generate an alfresco.log file (where can I configure that?), but here is the last chunk of messages in the syslog. Setting the log level to DEBUG didn't seem to show anything more interesting.

And what version of Java are you using?

Tomcat 7.0.4 (same issues with the Alfresco installer)
Debian Lenny
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks for your feedback!

BTW, Alfresco has generated the DB tables (worked with MySQL and PostgreSQL) and some directories in alf_data:

contentstore
contentstore.deleted
lucene-indexes

[muralie39]

can follow the supported stackes…. it will help much more to resolve this type issuses  && raise this issue in jira

[dataguy12]

I experienced exactly this problem:
Alfresco 3.4d
Windows 64-bit

Scanning through past logs, I determine that the reason has to do with starting Open office because that's what came after the point where it hangs.

True enough, the culprit in my case is a hanging soffice.exe-32 process.
Once I killed the process, and restarted Alfresco, it went all the way to completion and Alfresco is responsive again.

[sunnysharma]

Faced the same problem on:
Red Hat 4.1.2 (64 bit)
Alfresco 3.4d

Killed all the processes related to soffice and it worked.

[darkstar1]

Hi all. I'm having this same issue and I don't have libre/open offiice enabled.
It just hangs. Top is showing me that the java process (alfresco) is consuming 100% cpu
