Can't establish a connection to the server

[npadron]

I expereinced a power failure and my Fedora server crashed. Once I brought it back up the Alfresco service shows as running but when I browse to the site I get the following: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080

I verified that Apache is running by testing html content in my www/html folder…(I'm using a redirect to port 8080.)

I checked the Mysql log and it appears to be fine, however I can't establish a connection to it via the shell with mysqladmin or mysql. Is this because it's embedded under another process?

Here is the mysqldlog:

I don't know where to check for the Tomcat error logs. so I'm leaning towards Tomcat being the issue. However I'm not sure where to check for error logs. Below you will see where I thought the current logs should be but I can't find a time stamp that reflects today.

has anyone experienced this before?

[ztephanuz]

hi, could you fix this?? I have the same problem

[npadron]

Sorry I never posted a response. My issue was related to Tomcat in that anytime the service goes down improperly such as a power outage, application crash, etc, there is a Tomcat lck file that needs to be deleted before the Tomcat service can start again.

Good luck,
Nick
