Hi guys,

I have developed and deployed a few web applications successfully using Apache 2 + modjk + Tomcat 5.5.9 on a Windows XP box. The Tomcat root directory is c:\Tomcat.

I decided to give Alfresco a try and hence I downloaded Alfresco Community Tomcat 2.9.0B zip file and unzipped it. Found the alfresco.war and deployed it in c:\Tomcat\webapps directory. When I restarted Tomcat, the WAR file (alfresco.war) got extracted into a folder named alfresco (c:\Tomcat\webapps\alfresco) as expected. However, it also simultaneously crashes Tomcat! I get a bunch of errors in the log files…

I probably need to tweak some of the .properties or .xml files in c:\Tomcat\webapps\alfresco directory. I would like to try it out with HSQLDB that I presume Alfresco comes with. So I haven't installed MySQL on my Windows XP box. Can anyone please guide me in this pursuit?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

It sounds like you have deployed the WAR into an existing tomcat instance - in which case the default DB it uses is MySQL and you don't have the MySQL jdbc driver (based on the error).
You can either get the JDBC driver from the MySQL website, or from the Alfresco Tomcat bundle you downloaded copy the ..tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco dir to your c:\tomcat\shared… dir to enable the 'extension' files to override the DB settings. The default 'override' for the trial is for HSQLDB.
Note, you should also delete your 'alf_data' dir and copy in it's place the one from the Alfresco Tomcat bundle (it contains a pre-setup HSQL database for Alfresco's use.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Thanks for that reply Steve. You have solved majority of my problems. I really appreciate your help!

As you've noted, I had deployed the WAR into an existing Tomcat instance. I have followed your instructions and copied over the alf_data directory and also the tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco directory. I am almost there. Almost because, I got "OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space", which I resolved using "-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m". Now, I am getting the following error messages…

Can anyone please tell me how to get these resolved?

Regards,
Joe

I have seen similar other posts. They all seem to mention that
a) Either there is some other program listening on port 50500
or
b) There is a duplication instance of Tomcat/Alfresco running.

In my case I don't see either.

Ports open before starting Alfresco…

Hi,
Sometimes the post can be left open if the Tomcat instance running Alfresco does not shut down properly.
If you get this issue, see if there are any tomcat processes still kicking around and kill them.

Steve

I don't think so Steve. I have checked the Task Manager. Restarting the Windows machine did not work either. Seems like one last thing that I need to get over to get Alfresco working for me. Anything else that you think might be going on?

Thanks!
joe.
