MAC OS X troubleshooting

[mir4ge]

I installed    "alfresco community tomcat 2.9.0B"

on my PowerBookG4 (MAC OS X 10.4.11 running)

but when I start alfresco  and go on  http://localhost:8080/alfresco/

I can't see the directory /alfresco though it has been created,

report the following HTTP Status 404:

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/

type Status report
message /alfresco/
description The requested resource (/alfresco/) is not available.

From Terminal, beside the known error message:

ERROR [AbstractImageMagickContentTransformer] JMagickContentTransformer not available:
ERROR [AbstractImageMagickContentTransformer] ImageMagickContentTransformer not available:
Failed to execute command: convert …
reporting that various external document transformation engines are not available for use by the server,
I see the following errors on server startup:

Any hints about solving this problem? Help me,please…
I have no idea.. and
I need to run alfresco on my local host!

[mikeh]

This seems to be due to hostname resolution issues.

Please see these forum topics:

I report an "ObjID already in use" as in the thread you linked me to…
but I'm sure there's no other process on port 8080…


Besides, I'm running   Alfresco 2.9.0 B
and my environnement is:
          Mac OS X 10.4.11(PowerPC)/MySQL/Java SDK 1.5/Tomcat)

No firewalls running, no spaces in the directory name…

I don't know what I should try…
and I didn't understand why changing the hostname should carry to a solution…

I'm gonna try by setting the JAVA_OPT as indicated here:

Hi Paul,

Try setting the JAVA_OPTS like this in the 'alfresco.sh' script:

JAVA_OPTS='-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -server'
export JAVA_OPTS
‍‍‍‍

I know that on Solaris for example a single line Export such as you have posted does not work, maybe this is the same for your Linux version.

(Hoping that  for MAC OS X is the same as for the Linux version…)

THANKS…
And please… stay tuned…
I'm a noob

Because that's what fixed it for other people in those threads I linked you to. Note they're not changing the computer's hostname itself, but changing a configuration file which refers to it.

Hi Mike!
I did as explained here:

Hi,

in your code:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -server"
#JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader\$1,doBody -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo\$Merger,mergeIndexes -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo\$Merger,mergeDeletions"
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myhostname.mydomainname.net"
export JAVA_OPTS 
‍‍‍‍‍‍

the line 'JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myhostname.mydomainname.net' overwrites any prior JAVA_OPTS settings, so your heap size modifications will not be used.

You need to modify the line to read:

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myhostname.mydomainname.net"
‍‍‍

A good way to see what your JAVA_OPTS are really set to is to modify the 'catalina.sh' file in tomcat/bin as below:

Find the section that is similar to:

echo Using CATALINA_BASE:   %CATALINA_BASE%
echo Using CATALINA_HOME:   %CATALINA_HOME%
echo Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: %CATALINA_TMPDIR%
‍‍‍‍‍

And add:

echo Using JAVA_OPTS: %JAVA_OPTS%
‍‍‍

(I don't know why it's not shown by default by Tomcat…)

Hope this helps,

Steve

… But it didn't work…
When I write http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ in my browser,
I still have a 404 NOT FOUND reply…

Any further insights?
Thanks.

PS: I also tried another port instead of the default 8080…

I tried with port 8082… the same as before:it doesn't works…

What more can I try?

mir4ge,

That is not the fix specified in the linked forum posts at the top of this thread.
