error during Alfresco 3.2 (community) startup in Ubunto 2.6

[tsharoni]

I moved from Redhat VM to Ubuntu VM to pass my installation troubleshooting but still got errors:
When trying to access the share page I got the following error:

[size=50]javax.servlet.ServletException: org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 09210000 Unable to retrieve object: site-index of type: page
   org.alfresco.web.site.servlet.DispatcherServlet.service(DispatcherServlet.java:146)
   javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)[/size]

I don't know if it is related but during startup I got the following errors which are not clear to me how to troubleshoot:

My JAVA_HOME is defined as "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre". I also tried without the jre - same problem 😞

Any help is highly appreciated - I am trying my best without any luck so far…

Thanks,
Zach

java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 50501; nested exception is:

Find out what app has port 50501 open.    It may be a previous run of alfresco that has not shut down or some other app.

If some other app then you can move the port used by alfresco.

Please ignore - I decided to reboot the machine and it works!
