Same Question here…
Trying for day's to get this working correct. Seems to me Alfresco isn't working correct (bug or whatever…) i find a lot of posts on the web regarding this problem. I'm wondering anyhow why the Alfresco team didn't make an easy config setup, editing the properties file and so on is not a great way of working, why not a plain startup script at first run!!!
