Installing Alfresco 1.2 failed at bootstrap

[gertthiel]

Hi,

I tried to install Alfresco 1.2 (a brand new install, no update). It failed at the bootstrap. Can you help?

TIA

Hi Gert - good to hear from you again!

Can you tell us which bundle/platform you're using - I haven't seen this problem before, but it sounds like the bootstrap folder is corrupt or not there in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/bootstrap.

Cheers
Paul.

[paulhh]

Can you check what pdf is in the bootstrap folder and what name is in the messages/bootstrap-tutorial.properties file?

Cheers
Paul.

Hi Gert - good to hear from you again!

Thanks!

Can you tell us which bundle/platform you're using - I haven't seen this problem before, but it sounds like the bootstrap folder is corrupt or not there in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/bootstrap.

I used alfresco-tomcat-1.2.0.tar.gz which I installed under /opt.

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/bootstrap looks like:

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 3805577 2006-02-24 00:09 Alfresco-Tutorial.pdf
-rw-r–r– 1 root root    1379 2006-02-24 00:09 alfrescoUserStore.xml
-rw-r–r– 1 root root   32877 2006-02-24 00:09 categories.xml
-rw-r–r– 1 root root     931 2006-02-24 00:09 descriptor.xml
-rw-r–r– 1 root root    3658 2006-02-24 00:09 spaces.xml
-rw-r–r– 1 root root    2371 2006-02-24 00:09 system.xml
-rw-r–r– 1 root root     847 2006-02-24 00:09 tutorial.xml‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Regarding what Alfresco seems to look for I found this inside alfresco.log:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.view.ImporterException: Content URL classpath:alfresco/bootstrap/Alfresco Tutorial does not exist.‍

Does that help?

Thanks for your patience.

Gert

Can you check what pdf is in the bootstrap folder and what name is in the messages/bootstrap-tutorial.properties file?

messages/bootstrap-tutorial.properties looks ok:

# Labels used in bootstrap Tutorial definitions

tutorial.space.name=Alfresco Tutorial
tutorial.space.description=Step by step guide to the Alfresco application

tutorial.document.name=Alfresco-Tutorial.pdf
tutorial.document.title=Alfresco Tutorial
tutorial.document.description=Getting started guide‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages does not:

tutorial.document.description=Einsteiger Leitfaden
tutorial.document.name=Alfresco Tutorial
tutorial.document.title=Alfresco Tutorial
tutorial.space.description=Schritt f?r Schritt Anleitung - Alfresco Applikation
tutorial.space.name=Alfresco Tutorial‍‍‍‍‍

I will try bootstrapping again with an edited message file.

Sorry for duplicate. I resend the posting form because I got an error message from phpBB.

I think that's the problem - there must be a language pack file added to shared/classes/alfresco/messages that is overriding the one in WEB-INF.

Either remove the one in shared which contains the line:
tutorial.document.name=Alfresco Tutorial

or replace it with the line:
tutorial.document.name=Alfresco-Tutorial.pdf

It's using that name to look for the bootstrap content - it's possible to do that if you want to provide localized bootstrap data.

Generally, you should only put overrides or extensions into the shared directory, not copies of everything.

Regards
Paul.

I did that (while you answered my post).
And it helped. Alfresco runs now.

I should re-enlist myself to the de_DE translator team :wink:

Thanks a lot, Paul.

Cheers,
