Installation Problem in UBuntu running as a VMWare

[aniketvast]

I installed the Alfresco-Community-2.1R1-Linux-x86-Install keeping the 'Typical' option selected.
Since it is a packaged bundle, I am using everything including tomcat, java, openoffice from within it.
I start it via the alfresco.sh script. This is the ouput I am getting in my log file.
I have tried everything, previous forum topics, previous bugs etc but am unable to figure the problem or solution.

Hello,

Do you have your NIC configured? You must have a static IP. Try to assign a fixed IP to your ubuntu, restart ubuntu and restart alfresco.

By the way, I have Alfresco installed over Ubuntu 7.10 Server, but I think that the best way to install Alfresco is not the bundled package. Is better if you install JDK, Tomcat, MySQL and the Alfresco.

Hi,

If your VMWare image is self contained you need to enable at least the loopback adapter for Alfresco to work.
