Bootstrap failed

[blentz]

Greetings,
I've been trying all afternoon to get Alfresco up and running, but to no avail. I've followed the instructions for installing the WAR release, but each time I deploy the WAR to tomcat, it blows up everywhere. I know zero about Java and only a few things about Tomcat, but from what I can tell it is getting far enough to be able to create new tables in the MySQL database.

I'm totally lost, and have no clue how to interpret these messages. I'd be grateful for any assistance anyone can provide:

Hi!

You have to install imagemagick, and link the executable convert to imconvert.

E.g.
ln -s /usr/bin/convert /usr/bin/imconvert


Regards,
Sebastian

Gotcha… I figured that one out because I read that Alfresco wants the executable for ImageMagick's convery renamed so that it doesn't conflict with the Windows convert.exe command. A very strange way to solve this problem, but that part is working nonetheless.

*However* that did not solve my problem (you can reportedly run Alfresco without ImageMagick working). My real problem was caused by the alf-data path, and once I corrected that, I could get Alfresco running without it throwing exceptions everywhere.

But, I am left with more questions:
- Where is the alf-data path stuff documented? I didn't see it anywhere in the README_war.txt.
- Why is the default ./alf-data if that isn't going to work using relative paths?
- Could a better default be chosen?
- Where do most people set this path?
- Is the data in here important? I thought all the Alfresco data was in the database (MySQL, PG, MSSQL, Oracle)

Hi

In the last release, this was changed so that if you were running on a non-Windows box, then it used 'convert'.  The config for this is in content-services-context.xml in the <bean id="transformer.ImageMagick" > section.

I would not expect the bootstrap to fail because a converter could not be found - that must have been due to something else.  We'll investigate.

Cheers
Paul.

Looking at the error log, the key message is that there are 2 root nodes in the index.  Typically, this comes about because the database is dropped, but the alf_data indexes are not cleared out.

I was getting this error when I tried to run Alfresco on an old install of Tomcat. I had to uninstall Tomcat. Change my environment varibles for Catalina home to point to the root install folder of Alfresco, Then reinstall Tomcat.  That took care of the bootstrap problem.
…Now I am trying to get it to work with Oracle. The wiki instructions were weak on this..
