Can anyone help?

I have setup a new Ubuntu server and installed Mysql 5 and Alfresco 3 stable. Before starting Alfresco, I edited the custom-repository.properties to change the database directory to mysql, remove the Derby config and add the mysql. I also edited the custom-hiberate-dialect.properties file to remove Derby and add Mysql. Then I edited the Alfresco.sh to configure the JAVA_HOME.

When I start up, tomcat runs (I tested it with an index.html file), but Alfresco fails with a 404 error. From everything I have read, it appears that the mysql-connector-java-5.0.3-bin.jar was missing. I downloaded this and placed it in the /tomcat/lib folder, but I am not sure how it gets called? In anycase, it still does not work.

One last point, Before doing this clean install, I did the standard Derby install and it worked, so it is definitely something to do with the mysql connection. I can connect manually to the Alfresco database, so I know that the MYsql itself is okay.

You need to post any errors from the Alfresco.log files.

And did you create an empty database and account for alfresco to use?

Yes, I created an empty Alfresco dtb and have pasted the logs below:

custom-hibernate.properties

To test tomcat, I created a folder /opt/Alfrescotomcat/webapps/test and then created a simple index.html file.

I then ran sh /opt/Alfresco/alf_start and got the following display

sh /opt/Alfresco/alf_start.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

I then opened my browser and opened http://localhost:8080 and saw the contents of my index file which shows the tomcat server is working.

Heres the crunch. When I open http://localhost:8080/alfresco, it takes a few minutes of load time and then returns a 404 page error.

the resulting log files in tomcat/logs are as follows:

This bit doesnt look right

dir.root=/usr/lib/mysql
dir.indexes=/opt/Alfresco/alf_data/lucene-indexes

i bet /usr/lib/mysql is read only to the alfresco user. And that is where it trys to write all the repository data
i would expect it to be

dir.root=/opt/Alfresco/alf_data
dir.indexes=/opt/Alfresco/alf_data/lucene-indexes

I am having the exact same problem and my dir.root does equal /opt/alfresco/alf_data. [size=85](The lowercase "a" on the alfresco folder is not a mistake)[/size]

However can you explain: db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco ?
where exactly is //localhost/alfresco ?

ofrxnz · ‎04-10-2009

However can you explain: db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco ?
where exactly is //localhost/alfresco ?

Its the location of your DB. MySQL is a networkable DB so it is essentially db.url=<dbEngine><dbType>://<network location>[

ort]/<dbName>

so, if you had a stand alone MySQL server at mysql.company.com or 10.0.1.247 , and you named the DB "AlfMain"

the path could be

//mysql.company.com/AlfMain

or

//10.0.1.247/AlfMain

I believe the default port is 3306

so with port notation it is

//10.0.1.247:3306/AlfMain

the use of "localhost" tells alfresco to reach mysql over the loopback.

Also, MySQL permissions are host spicific.

so a statement such as "grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfuser'@'192.168.1.24' identified by 'passowrd' is only good for alfuser connecting from the 192.168.1.24 host. some other options are 192.168.1.% for a wild card ( i think) which will allow the entire class C subnet and 'localhost' for the local host.

iomari.

you probably want this in your configuration as wel

dir.indexes=/opt/Alfresco/alf_data/lucene-indexes

Can you do an ls -l in your Alfresco directory and check the owner and permissions on the alf_data folder and then the lucine-indexes folder inside of it.

here is what my files look like. This is from my test instance on Windows, but the DB stuff should be the same all that should be needed is a path adjustment.

Thanks for your reply. I added the index line and I still get a 404 page. My database is still empty with no tables generated. I create the database with the db_setup.sql script: mysql -u root -p < ./db_setup.sql from the folder where the script is. It was successfully created with no tables of course. But starting the service did not create anything. I also removed the alf_data folder before I started
Below are my main config files and a clean catalina.out file showing the errors:

anyone.

Your database configuration looks O.K.

The error is related to reading
/mnt/installs/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-authority-services-context.xml

Could you open this file in a text editor and check that it looks O.K. and contains well formed XML.
The error reported is that its truncated but it could be something like a garbled character set or line endings.

Thanks for your reply. That file does not exist anywhere in my alfresco directory.

This is my current catalina.out log:
