Deployment Failed issues...

[rchapman]

I searched for the error "Could not Initialize Remote Connection to localhost" but the problem and solution were no help.

That's what I'm getting when I try to deploy, and the error is only a list of

org.alfresco.service.cmr.avm.AVMException: Could not Initialize Remote Connection to localhost at org.alfresco.repo.deploy.DeploymentServiceImpl.getRemote(DeploymentServiceImpl.java:558) at org.alfresco.repo.deploy.DeploymentServiceImpl.deployDifference(DeploymentServiceImpl.java:113) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.springframework.aop.support.AopUtils.invokeJoinpointUsingReflection(AopUtils.java:281)

and more. Much much more.

I'm wondering, since I'm working with a network admin who has set limited ports for this server, do I need to open more ports for ftp? I have the web project server set to localhost, but for some reason, when I browse to localhost:8080 I don't even get the basic tomcat page.

Can anyone give a novice some advice?

Now I'm back to the

ERROR [alfresco.smb.protocol] Failed to get local domain/workgroup name, using default of WORKGROUP
ERROR [alfresco.smb.protocol] (This may be due to firewall settings or incorrect <broadcast> setting)


series that I can't find answers for anywhere. I'm also having trouble with the virtualisation server with "Virtualisation Server not started - reverting to default port: 8180" when I access the alfresco project. I've manually set everything in the /alfresco/virtual-tomcat/conf/alfresco-server.properties file to be the correct login and host ip information, but nothing changes these errors.

I'm running out of solutions. Any help?

How did you fix the initial problem?

Deployment uses RMI.  You'll need one dedicated port for the initial handshake, and, because RMI randomly allocates ports, you'll also need to have all higher-level
ports than the default for actual data tranmission.
