I'm trying to install Alfresco 1.4 using MySQL but I have some problems. I'm using MySQL 4.1.21 on Windows 2003 Server US. I followed the instruction to use Alfresco with MySQL Database but when I launch it, I'm getting errors about Bootstrap failed…
When you change to MySQL you need to clean up (delete) the alf_data directory as well - the alf_data directory contains the lucene indexes for the system, if you have a clean DB schema then you need a clean alf_data directory also.
