Alfresco Statup Issue

[orbawler17]

Red Hat 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 64 bit
Custom Alfresco 3.4.a
Apache Tomcat/6.0.18

My instance of tomcat currently hosts Jira and Nexus. I use AJP_connector for Apache as well.

"Error creating bean with name 'avmSyncServiceTransportRMI' defined in class path resource [alfresco/remote-services-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.rmi.server.ExportException: internal error: ObjID already in use"

but I am not sure. I do not see any port conflicts before starting up this new tomcat instance, and tomcat server starts up fine after alfresco fails to boot anad give the error: listenerstart.

Alfresco.Log shows:

Anyone seen this or have any ideas?

"ObjID already in use" usually points to a firewall / IP issue. e.g. http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=16898

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply, I saw that post. I solved our problem last night, it actually had to do with the hostname.
Our server is in the cloud and therefor had a really oddly named hostname by default from the provider. I had to define it in our hosts file and link it to the nic card that I was binding to for tomcat in order to resolve the problem.

I had this same issue with 4.0.b but i found that if i put the RMI services on the bottom of the file it fixed my issue. I am not sure why it matters where the information is in the alfresco-global.properties file but for some reason it made a difference.
