Hi,
I've been having some trouble getting Alfresco to run on my Ubuntu 9.10
I aslo have to say that I'm a beginner on linux so this might explain that. Anyway, after following a very well explained guide here (http://blog.mycroes.nl/2010/02/installing-alfresco-on-ubuntu-jaunty.html), I still can't run alfresco.
I've installed everything separately, jdk, tomcat6, alfresco, and configured as it is described in the tutorial.
Now, the first time I ran alfresco (localhost:8080/alfresco), I could see that tables where created in the sql; no problem here. But the page was blank afterwards.
So, I used the tomcat manager to start the alfresco app, which wasn't running it seems: it just keeps loading the page but alfresco won't run, and here is why => my alfresco .log indicates folloying error:
So, I know I have open office and imagemagick errors here, I'm looking to solve them too but first I have to get rid of this infamous ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
So, I would appreciate any input on the matter since I'm quite lost at the moment
Regards

Ok will do 
Well I tried giving the path to open office (couldn't find the headless package, it told me to download another open office package instead, which as it turned out was already installed), no changes in sight…
I'm just wondering: when we talk about "starting alfresco", it means "start apache2 + tomcat6", and that's all, is it? There is no further binary to run ?
Because each time I change my alfresco properties, I only restart tomcat; hope I'm not missing something here !
Also, the log gets a bit different when I try to start the app in tomcat manager:
Edit: the fun thing is… I put a windows virtual machine and got alfresco to run in like 30 minutes…while I' struggling on the linux version for 1 day already
