Alfresco on fedora core 6 and mysql

[accuervo]

Hi.
i try to install Alfresco Labs in a fedora core 6 server running mysql.
The Alfresco version i use are: Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install
the java path are: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_02
the driver i use are: mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar
the mysql version are: mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.22, for redhat-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0
The Alfresco install works properly.
The creation of user alfresco and database alfresco works fine, i test it via shell and via mysqladmin
I configure fine the 2 files: custom-repository.properties and custom-hibernate-dialect.properties to point to mysql.
I configure the path and all the things you need to change in alfresco.sh
However alfresco never start when run ./alfresco.sh start.
i follow the alfresco.log  ( tail -f alfresco.log ) and i find that someting's wrong.
i check the mysql server connections in MySQL Administrator and I never see an Alfresco connection while I run alfresco.sh start.
I really don't know what's wrong.
Tomcat start properly, but when i go to: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ this page shows the classic error: the resource are not available.

What's wrong? Any Help please!!

The next are the output of alfresco.log

thanks a lot for some help!

You've probably got a local firewall blocking access to the MySQL port.

Thanks Mike for your replay.
However I check that, and the firewall are configured in other machine from my network, and this machine only run a samba server, and other application that use mysql to store the users of some internal chat service.
How can I check if another program are blocking the MySQL port?
And what's the meaning of the error line in my alfresco.log?
13:13:41,062 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'luceneIndexBackupComponent' defined in class path resource [alfresco/core-services-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed;

Thanks a lot for your help!

[mikeh]

The top-level exception isn't really the interesting one - look further down the stack trace:

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
…
Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

That indicates some kind of local or network connectivity issue - usually as a result of a firewall or something listening on a non-standard port maybe.

Thanks,
Mike
