Alfresco 3.2 / Tomcat 6 Bundle on FreeBSD 7.2

[simonsays42]

Hi

My first attempt getting alfreso running on FreeBSD failed a few months ago. Anyway since Alfresco 3.2 has been released and I decided to start with a bundled installation next time I just gave it another shot. Thus I installed Apache 2.0, MySQL 5.1, JDK6 and extracted "alfresco-community-tomcat-3.2.tar.gz". When I then launched tomcat/alfresco by running "alfreco.sh start" I could connect to my server (8080) but nothing happens…

alfresco.log:

So again I'm stuck. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hmm … the real meat is the message "ObjID already in use", I would guess.  My first try would be to make sure no other service is in the way. Do the apache and tomcat work  ok ? (e.g. Access to DOCS or Examples folder)

[simonsays42]

Hello first of all thank you for your quick response. You're absolutely right about the "ObjID" issue which I already came across a few month ago (it seems to be an issue that most users have to deal with at some point). Last time I fixed it by reconfiguring my firewall so that access to localhost was possible and I also disabled the sendmail server running on port 25. Anyway this time there is no mail service running and even if the pf (firewall) is disabled the "ObjID" problem still shows up. So after spending quite some time with "google" and browsing this forum I'm kinda lost and don't know what to do next. Thus any hint/help is again very much appreciated …

Thank you!
Best regards
Simon

By the way: I provided you with sockstat output and current catalina/alfresco logs …. hope that helps to track down the problem.

Alfresco needs to be able to connect to the server using its hostname rather than "localhost", so you might wan't to check that the server can resolve itself using the hostname.
