Alfresco Labs 3 Install Issues on Ubuntu 9.04

[dewbob]

Please help.  I have been trying to get Alfresco running for 5 days now.  I am not sure what else to do…

I installed Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install on Ubuntu 9.04 server set-up with repository pacakages for LAMP Server and Tomcat Server (used options at install). My Ubuntu Server is installed on a virtual Machine using VMWare.  I followed the instructions located at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Lab_3_Stable_on_Ubuntu_8.10

I kept getting an error that Apache could not find either alfresco or share.  I determined issue was coming from the base install of Tomcat6.  Since it was already running on port 8080, the scripts (alfresco.sh and virtual_alf.sh) could not start the service.

I used /etc/init.d/tomcat6 shutdown to stop base service.  I was then able to use alfresco.sh and virtual_alf.sh to start the Alfresco installed version of tomcat.

I started this service at 11:05pm. I opened my browser (Mozilla Firefox) and navigated to http://hostname:8080/alfresco and http://hostname:8080/share (in second tab after a few minutes.)  At 6:45am the following morning, neither page had painted, and the browser indicated it was still attempting to load/access the sight.
I had to go to the paying job, so I left the browser running.  I arrived home after work (8:00pm), both pages had painted.  The url for “alfresco” (http://hostname:8080/alfresco) had changed to http://hostname:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/dashboards/container.jsp displaying following error:

Any solutions?  Where do I turn next?  Is there additional information I need to provide?

I am also stuck on the same configuration not working - Alfresco Labs 3 Stable with Ubuntu 9.04 Server.

Has anyone managed to get a working Alfresco Labs 3 Stable with Ubuntu 9.04 Server?
If you did, could you please post the basic directions?

i.e. what apps/services did you install /not install prior to the Alfresco installation?
What did you need to change configure to get it working?

I'm astounded that there is not a good linux howto that seems to work correctly -
I've checked the forums, wiki's, etc.

I'm close to bagging Alfresco as a waste of time and move on…

Sorry guys.
I wrote the instructions in the wiki for Ubuntu.

I have not tried to install 3.2GA on Ubuntu yet.
The version of instructions for Ubuntu was for version 3.0 or 3.1.
I am reading that there are changes in the config files.
Its looking like Alfreco is centralizing the config files into one location.
I am reading that changing the database config is now a different place and that there is a method for changing or customizing the config file.

I might get an update in about a month.

Okay, I have since managed to get Alfresco labs 3.2 Community Edition installed on two different Ubuntu 9.04 systems -
one system running graphical (Ubuntu-Desktop) and one just running headless server (Ubuntu-Server).
Initially I tried the "Alfresco Labs Stable 3" version - not so good…
make sure you get the latest version (3.2) from the Alfresco download area
this version seems to have a better/fixed installer script.

There are several tricks which may be obvious to experienced Alfresco admins,
but seem to trip up newbies like myself.

1) DON"T preinstall Tomcat server - let the Alfresco installation script do this.
    Otherwise you will get port conflicts and other issues…

2) I did select to pre-install "LAMP" (Apache2, MySQL, Php), and Samba in the Ubuntu Install.

3) Make sure to edit the /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
    before you startup Alfresco to change/correct the paths to openoffice, pdf2swf, etc.
    just do a "which soffice", or "which pdf2swf" to find the actual path on your machine.

4) Make sure you wait long enough after starting with "/opt/Alfresco/alfresco.sh start"
    it may be a few minutes before everything is running.
    make sure that you check /opt/Alfresco/alfresco.log file for errors.

I am quite pleased with how well Alfresco runs even on my old AMD Athlon 2600 test box.
Once I get the detailed instructions written up, I will post them.
Right now, I am working on getting Alfresco authentication bound to my Win2k3 PDC -
that area of the Howto REALLY needs some work, as I not found a working recipe for that yet.
If anyone has - please post a link to it here…

thanks,
mox

Alfresco 3.2 is now added to the "partner" reopositories of Ubuntu 9.04, so with a simple "aptitude install alfresco-community" you can now install alfresco.

I did this, and it almost worked . You have to be carefulll NOT to have OpenJDK installed, that will mess up some javascript parsing things in Share. After making sun's java default, it just workes, making use of all the standard packages in ubuntu, and file locations.

I say give it a try
