Bad gotcha

[andy_ukgrid]

Hey,

  this is reallllyyyyy bad, I've been attempting to get Alfresco working thro the mod_jk apache module and have wasted a couple of hours because when you start Alfresco with "/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh start" from the tomcat configuration directory Alfresco fails to start up properly. Come on, thats terrible! Pls and developers fix this!!

thanks Andy.

PS using 2.9B

PPS Apache httpd mod_jk works great and was reasonably easy minus the above issue, + is working via SSL.

Do you have this message in your startup logs by any chance?

WARN [repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] The Alfresco 'dir.root' property is set to a relative path './alf_data'. 'dir.root' should be overridden to point to a specific folder.‍

Thanks,
Mike

Can you provide some more details, such as the Alfresco and Tomcat logs, the output from the alfresco.sh start command, etc. etc.?

Cheers,
Peter
