Assistance with configuring Alfresco 5.0d via AWS

[darkrealm12]

Hi guys,

I would like to request some assistance with configuring Alfresco on AWS. I have launched an Alfresco Community Bitnami AMI, and attempted to set up the security groups and all that. However, once the instance launched and I attempted to browse the application by using the public IP I assigned, I get an error:


Your application is not available

Your application may not be available for many reasons:
•If you just launched the server, please wait a few minutes for the application to deploy. It is common behavior for Java applications.
•Your application may not be working properly. Please check the application log file.
This page will automatically refresh every 15 seconds until the application is available.

Would someone be able to provide some insight as to what could be missing from this?

Hi,

Have you tried to SSH to the alfresco server and check if alfresco is up and running fine?
Any errors in the alfresco log files?

Hi,

I was actually able to find an existing installation of Alfresco via Tomcat7 on AWS (using Ubuntu 14.04). However, I am unable to find the login information for the "Alfresco Community" login page after navigating to the /share URL in a browser:

http://localhost/share (the localhost will represent the private IP assigned to the instance)

I tried using the following combinations, but it didn't work, after following online suggestions to clear the password hash field in the alfresco-global.properties file.
Admin/Admin
admin/admin
admin/password

I restarted bitnami and tomcat after making the changes to the file, but it still didn't work. I get an error: "Your authentication details have not been recognized or Alfresco may not be available at this time."

Any ideas on how to get the login information?

The following might help

I checked the alfresco-global.properties file, and I see the initial admin password section. I tried the username and password combination provided in the file on the Alfresco login page (http://IP address of alfresco server/share), but I'm still not able to get in. For the second section of the link you provided, I'm not sure where to find this file, or how to configure it (see below):

Reset the Admin password without knowing any user password:
Configure the authentication component to accept all logins using org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.SimpleAcceptOrRejectAllAuthenticationComponentImpl.
Login as a user with Admin rights.
Reset the Admin user's password.
Revert the configuration.

Thoughts?

Would someone be able to help? I really do need this up and running asap.

Thanks!

admin/admin should work unless you changed it to something else.  
Alfresco is probably not running.   You need to find the alfresco.log file to find out why not.

I tried admin/admin, but it still didn't work. I was told to check the alfresco-global.properties file and change the password there, but it still didn't work. The Alfresco service is currently running.

Hi there,

Any update with the issue?

Bitnami have set their own user ids and passwords.

Refer to https://bitnami.com/stack/alfresco/README.txt 

Try userid = user and password = bitnami.  This works with Alfresco Bitnami 201707.
