Alfresco Share cannot be launched

Hello,
I have already installed Alfresco, but it always fails at the same point.

The installation guide
   http://docs.alfresco.com/community/tasks/simpleinstall-community-lin.html
says that
   19. ……By default, these options are selected and will launch when you click Finish.
   20. Click OK.
   The Alfresco server starts and then Alfresco Share launches in your default browser.
   Important: It may take several minutes to start the Alfresco server and to launch Share.
   Your browser opens and tries to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080/share.

But, in my case, this “Alfresco Share” does not appear, and I cannot login by “admin” user.
The browser always shows

   HTTP status 404 - /share

I checked both postgresql and tomcat processes are running.
I also started again with “service alfresco start” command, but the status did not change.

What should I check? Please advise me.

I’m sorry I’m not good at English.

I’ve never succeeded to show “/share”,
even if just after I’ve installed Alfresco Community.
I've tried 4 times to install Alfresco Community with install wizard,
but it always failed at the last step of launching "Share".

So I cannot manage any users and contents.

What should I do after Alfresco Community Setup Wizard?
Why Alfresco Community Share cannot be launched successfully?
Alfresco service and Tomcat are running normally.

I tried to install Alfresco Community again just now.
But this time also it failed at the last step.

After installing has finished and showed readme file, the server started normally, I think.
The console log is as follows.

Perhaps this log is not wrong, but when I visited "http://127.0.0.1:8080/share",
Firefox and apache only show

HTTP status 404 - /share

Why doesn't the Alfresco Share start normally?
