cannot login to Alfresco 5.0c

[jeffgerth]

Hi I'm new to Alfresco and am evaluating it for deployment.  I have installed on a Win 8 vm with 5GB ram/40GB disk and installed as a service.  I chose a password during the advanced install but cannot seem to login at the prompt with admin/my unique pw 

What should I try next?

Many thanks in advance!

Check if there are errors into files catalina.out and alfresco.log

[jeffgerth]

In the alfresco.log several exceptions were thrown:
<lots of other non-warnings above>
15:32:39,726 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] [localhost-startStop-1] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'vtiUrlHelper' defined in class path resource [alfresco/module/org.alfresco.module.vti/context/vti-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to construct valid Sharepoint URL.

<more stuff then>
Caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in hostname at index 11: http://win8_vm:7070/alfresco

I didn't find a catalina.out file per se but in the file alfrescotomcat-stdout.2015-02-04.log I find:

So I see that there are a few problems but I can only guess the significance.  Ideas please?

Thanks,
Jeff

It seems the problem is on your server name.
Remove the "_" from the url and I guess it will work.
http://win8_vm:7070/alfresco becomes http://win8vm:7070/alfresco

Hello All,

I am completely new to Alfresco Community. I installed it on a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM using the "Easy" option. I set a password, like jeffgerth above, but now cannot log in. I get an error "Your authentication details have not been recognized or Alfresco may not be available at this time".

I did a search for "catalina.out" and "alfresco.log" and those files do not exist.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Never mind, restarted server (3rd time) and now I can get in using admin and the PW I created during setup.

[jeffgerth]

I posted my errors above but I'm curious how you did your restart.  Just within the manager window or full system reboot?
Thx
