Alfresco 1.3 on Debian: how to start it at boot time?

Hello,

I have set-up Alfresco 1.3 on a Linux (Debian Sarge) machine, everything works fine except one thing: I can start Alfresco from the command-line ("alfresco.sh start"), but I can't configure it to automatically start when the machine boots (using scripts in /etc/init.d): when accessing alfresco's home page from a browser, I get a log-in screen, but the standard account "admin/admin" is not accepted. In contrast, when Alfresco is started from the command-line, I directly go to the "guest" screen, from which I can then log in as "admin/admin".

Any idea of what prevents Alfresco to be started at boot time?

Thanks for any help

Pascal

PS: I have also set JAVA_HOME explicitely in "alfresco.sh".

I'm still having trouble getting alfresco to start automatically on bootup.  I've edited /etc/rc.local and put the following line in it:

/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh start

- but this doesn't work. 

I have to start it by logging in as a user once the OS has booted, and doing sudo /opt/alfresco/alfresco/sh start

This may be a pretty basic question, sorry, but I still don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I'm running it on Ubuntu 6.06.

Thanks
