how to install alfresco on osx 10.5 ppc?

[ascar]

I'm trying to install Alfresco on my laptop, a powerbook G4 ppc running osx 10.5.8

I downloaded the latest Alfresco community 3.3g binary for osx.
In principle it would require the JDK1.6, but the latest available version for my machine is JDK1.5
I have mysql 5.0.77.

However the installation process succeeded (at least apparently) with no errors.
I'm able to see the guest page at http://localhost:8080/alfresco, and explore everything, but when I try to login as admin I get a incorrect username/password combination message.
Obviously i get the same error also in /share

Is it possible that this behavior depends on the different JDK version I'm using?
Are there previous versions, preferably binary, that could work? (i wasn't able to find older binaries to download)

I'm not an IT expert. But I would like to use alfresco to manage the iso9001 documents of my department.

thank you in advance,
a.

Alfresco V3.3 now assumes at least JDK1.6, so I suspect that's your problem. You can get earlier versions from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco/files/

Thanks,

…ehm, i wasn't able to find that link.
Thanks a lot.

A short update:
I tried the Alfresco Community 3.2r2 with JDK5 but I got the same result.

I also tried the Alfresco Community 3.3g with the Soylatte JDK 7 binaries compiled for ppc (It's not tested at all, but install and deployment ended without errors) and I get the same result.

I just cannot access as administrator.

In next days I will try older versions, but I start to suspect a different origin.
Other suggestions?

thx in advance,

Are there any errors in your alfresco.log.

[ascar]

yes there is only one error, that is always there, i.e. independently on the combination Alfresco/JDK (sorry, I made confusion during my first attempts and I made the wrong observation that this error wasn't always present):

12:29:40,316  ERROR [org.alfresco.fileserver] Failed to get local domain/workgroup name, using default of WORKGROUP
12:29:40,407  ERROR [org.alfresco.fileserver] (This may be due to firewall settings or incorrect <broadcast> setting)

For 3.2r2/jdk5 there are no errors on stopping alfresco,
while there are errors on stopping Alfresco for 3.3g/soylatte_jdk7 and 3.3g/jdk5.
But I have not tried older Alfresco versions yet.

Let me know if you need the entire log

I launch the installer, and execute alf_start and alf_stop with sudo
I install Alfresco in /opt/Alfresco instead of the default dir /usr/local/Alfresco

I also tried to disable CIFS and FTP in file-servers.xml (I found this suggestion related to osx installs) but it didn't work
the firewall  is disabled: Preference Pane/Security/Firewall/allow all inbound connections

Let me know if I missed any detail

thanks,
a.

Update:

Instead of installing and running alfresco with sudo, I enabled and switched to the user "root".
Then  and installed and ran Alfresco 3.2r2 with jdk5 and the error desappeared.

But the problem still persists.

Any idea?
