Error logging into Alfresco 2.0

[nyronian]

I have installed Alfresco 2.0 and it appears as it starts with no problems.  I get the "guest" page just fine.  Once I click the login I get the following errors in the browser….

javax.faces.FacesException: Bean: org.alfresco.web.bean.LoginBean, property: languages
caused by: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Bean: org.alfresco.web.bean.LoginBean, property: languages
caused by: javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Bean: org.alfresco.web.bean.LoginBean, property: languages
‍‍‍‍‍

I'm not sure if this is an installation issue or a configuration issue but I can't figure out what is wrong.

This is Alfresco 2.0 community edition with MySQL on a Windows machine.

Thank you in advance.

The login page expects the some languages and these are loaded by default in the extension folder. If you deploy the war on a standalone server without default extension folder, this problem arises.

You should create a web-client-config-custom.xml in the extension folder that looks like this:

<alfresco-config>
<!– Example of adding languages to the list in the login page –>
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
<languages>
<language locale="ca_ES">Catalan</language>
<language locale="da_DK">Danish</language>
<language locale="de_DE">German</language>
<language locale="es_ES">Spanish</language>
<language locale="el_GR">Greek</language>
<language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
<language locale="it_IT">Italian</language>
<language locale="ja_JP">Japanese</language>
<language locale="du_NL">Dutch</language>
<language locale="pt_BR">Portuguese (Brazilian)</language>
<language locale="ru_RU">Russian</language>
<language locale="fi_FI">Finnish</language>
<language locale="tr_TR">Turkish</language>
<language locale="zh_CN">Simplified Chinese</language>
</languages>
</config>
</alfresco-config>

You can also add this directly to the war or include the config section directly in the web-client-config.xml

If you really want to use the languages, you should also include the correct resource bundles (messages folder).

Thank you so much for your quick response.

I went into the extension folder and renamed the web-client-config-custom.xml.sample to web-client-config-custom.xml.  I noticed the only uncommented part had the xml you specified above. 

I get no errors or warnings on starup but I still get the same error.  Below is the full stack trace:

I finally gave up and reinstalled it bundled with Tomcat and it worked fine.  But someday I am going to need to install it manually into tomcat for production.

Thanks for all your help though.

[rgeimer]

I had the same error. I was able to fix the problem by simply exploding the war file:

mkdir alfresco
mv alfresco.war alfresco
cd alfresco
jar xvf alfresco.war

After restarting Tomcat, the problem went away.
