[HELP]Problems at bootstrap

[camillo]

Hi all,

I'm a very newbie about Alfresco.
I installed 3.0 Labs version on Ubuntu 8.04 and I replace the original dbms (derby) with Mysql.
When I start Alfresco using the alf_start.sh command, an error occurs (as is possible read from the alfresco.log file):

12:05:09,438 INFO  [org.alfresco.web.site.FrameworkHelper] Successfully Initialized Web Framework
12:05:21,701 INFO  [org.alfresco.config.xml.XMLConfigService$PropertyConfigurer] Loading properties file from class path resource [alfresco/file-servers.properties]

How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help

It seems you have already an other instance of application server up in your environment.
You must find the old AS instance and you must kill that process, then you can retry to start Alfresco.

Hope this helps.
