Error after installation

[justinhamilton]

Hello,

I recently install Alfresco Labs 3 on my Ubuntu 9.10 server, and am currently having some difficulties getting it to run. When I try going to http://localhost:8080/alfresco I just recieve a 404.

Here is the first error in the log that I am recieving:

When I googled the error I came upon a site saying that I need to move Tomcat's commons-el.jar to another directory, as that could cause a conflict, but even after restarting this does not seem to solve anything.

Any suggestions on going about this?  Thank you in advance!

Your error is

Port already in use: 50501; nested exception is:

So you probably already have a program using port number 50501.  

You should be able to use a command like 'netstat' to find what program is using this and you can either move the other program or
move alfresco by setting the
avm.rmi.service.port property/

try setting it to 0 or 50500 if you are not bothered.
