custom dashlet killed alfresco server - share connection?

[brassmachine]

The Problem: This is not a new install of Alfresco, Everything was working fine but now when I try to log in to share I get the "failed to Login The remote server may be unavailable or…" error message.

What changed: Using mmt I updated my alfresco.war file with an amp file.

What I've noticed: I have no config files under webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco, in fact it is empty except for two directories…


I've already checked the thread on the failed to login error, but nothing seems to address my problem of actually having lost files needed by the Alfresco server.


Any help would be appreciated.

[brassmachine]

Just an idea…

could I fix this by unzipping my old alfresco.war file in <tomcat_HOME>/webapps/alfresco
?

It looks like all I have there now is the directories and files for the custom dashlet and nothing for the actual alfresco server…

[mrogers]

There's no need to unzip.    Just delete the webapps/alfreso folder and tomcat will redeploy from the war.

However its not correct that you lost files in the web-inf folder.

[brassmachine]

Thanks mrogers, giving that a try now…

[brassmachine]

mroger's suggestion worked for getting the file system repaired, but now I'm getting a 503 "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error when trying to go to <website>/share or <website>/alfresco.

It seems like http-proxy is listening on port 8080, log below…

[brassmachine]

Alright here's the log files, I'm not sure, but I think this means that something else is listening on the port Alfresco is trying to use?

I used ps and nothing else seems to be running
here's the localhost log –>

Still looking for any advice or input on this,

Right now I'm getting a 503 service temporarily unavailable page at my share and alfresco pages.

Not sure if it's tomcat or alfresco that's having the issue, both seem to give satisfactory responses from alf_start.sh and startup.sh.

stdout for each is
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:  /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:              /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16

and
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:  /opt/Alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:              /usr

respectively
