[tico]

Hello you all,

I am trying to migrate from Alfresco 1.4 to Alfresco 2.1, database migration seems ok, but Alfresco startup failed with the following exception:

System in FC6, DB is postgres 8.1.9, Tomcat is 5.5.23

I didnt find any information about InvalidNameEndingPatch.log, but a fresh install of 2.1 doesnt raise this execption.

Any help is very welcome,

Thanks and regards,

Eric.

Just to get more precise, I understood Alfresco is not able to write InvalidNameEndingPatch.log, as it has not write access to the default folder where it wants to create it. But I didnt find where to define this property.

thanks and regards,

Eric.

I found a workaround….

From root

#> touch /var/run/tomcat5.pid
#> chown tomcat:tomcat /var/run/tomcat5.pid
#> /usr/share/tomcat5/bin/relink
#> su - tomcat
#> cd /var/log/tomcat5
#> /usr/bin/dtomcat5 start && tail -f /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out

Once the migration is done

#> /usr/bin/dtomcat5 stop && tail -f /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out

Under root, start tomcat service.

Regards,

Eric.
