Alfresco Failing

[marco_obaid]

I followed the instcutions in page: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Community_2.9B_on_Centos_5.1
to get Alfresco installed on CentOS 5.2.

I need to use MySQL instead of the default DB that comes with Alfresco, so I followed the instructions here:

* Installed MySQL
* mysql -u root -p < db_setup.sql
* Edited custom-repository.properties and custom-hibernate-dialect.properties
* alfresco.sh start

I can get to http://localhost:8080/ , but http://localhost:8080/alfresco generates an error:

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/

——————————————————————————–

type Status report

message /alfresco/

description The requested resource (/alfresco/) is not available.


——————————————————————————–

Apache Tomcat/5.5.23


What am I missing? And is the default DB that comes with Alfresco suitable for production?

Thank you for any hint you can provide!

I was able to resolve this issue with the help of one of my programmers. Here is what made it work:

* ./alfresco.sh stop
* killall -9 java
* rm -rf ./alf_data/*
* Drop the "alfresco" database
* Create a new alfresco database
* ./alfresco.sh start

If you run into a similar issue, please try the above. If it does not work, I'll be glad to share with you my config files.

Good luck.
