Error: Context initialization failed on 3.2 / Ubuntu 9.10

[julien]

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

Anyway thanks for the help, but for now seeing that another post also brought up the same problem without any solution, I'm giving up on Alfresco (for now at least); I have much more other things to do first

Hi,

I had a similar problem (OpenOffice couldn't start). I've been using JDK 1.6.0_07 - updated it to 1.6.0_18 and it is working flawlessly
