Faild to add custom content type

[billwyuan]

I am new to Alfresco enterprise version. I got Failed to add 'customressrelease' to the list of content types as the type is not recognised, a warning message is in alfresco.log.

To reproduce in windows Alfresoc version 4.2, put the three files here and restart server, new content or search has not new content,
C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension

Hi,
could you please provide your alfresco.log and edit your post in order to put your files between blockcode tag and make it more readable?
Thanks.
