Bootstrap failed: the path must resolve to a valid location

[rafique]

Gives this error and fails to start the web application context. I am using Alfresco 2.1 on Windows XP and Mysql 4.1.x (ran the db script for it).

Any idea what could be the cause?

Hi

It's possible your version of MySQL is too old. Can you upgrade to v5?

Thanks,
Mike

[rafique]

Thanks Mike. The problem is solved with MySQL-5.0.15 and the web application is up and running.

It gave one error though (see logs), seems like it could not find the openoffice. I checked the option when the installer asked for download and install OpenOffice; Shouldn't it be downloaded by the installer? or do I need to download and install it separately ?

I'm not too familiar with the installer, but it's worth trying to run OpenOffice on it's own from C:\Alfresco\openoffice\program\soffice.exe to check it's happy.

Thanks,
Mike
