Installing Alfresco on FC4

[trying2alfresco]

Hey,

I am trying to install Alfresco on FC4. I have already installed all the necessary prerequisites. (JDK, MySQL, PHP) Then I went through the installation process which went fine. Then I started Alfresco with the following command ./alf_start.sh the output that I receive is
/usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/bin/alfrescoctl.sh : mysql  started
A mysqld process already exists
[root@localhost alfresco-1.2.1]# Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/java
Using JAVA_OPTS:       -Xms128m -Xmx512m -server -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/local/alfresco-1.2.1/tomcat/conf/logging.properties
Starting OpenOffice service…
It does not go any further from there.  I also checked http://localhost:8080/alfresco to see if it was working. But I got the following error message.
HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/

type Status report

message /alfresco/

description The requested resource (/alfresco/) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.12

I am guessing that the problem is with the the configuration of openoffice but I am not sure what exactly to do so ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for all your help.

Ok.

I should have read your first post properly…

It seems that you have installed everything needed to run Alfresco, then downloaded and are trying to use the 'alfresco-1.2.1-linux-community.bin' distribution. This distribution contains everything needed to run Alfresco, including its own MySQL and Tomcat…
Because you have these previously installed, and running by the looks of your posts, you are getting conflicts.

I would suggest you stop all your previously installed Tomcat and MySQL instances before you start the Alfresco bundle.
