Preview Website results in 404

[ibigfoot]

Hi All,

Have installed the Stable Alfresco 3 on a Windows XP machine (sp3)

I created a new web project and bulk imported the alfresco example war file that is part of the distribution.

When browsing the project i see content etc etc.

When going to preview the website i get 404 errors.  This is what I have discovered.

The preview link that is returning 404 errors is
http://alfrescoexample.www--sandbox.10-1-129-7.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/

From the server where alfresco is installed, the ip.alfrescodemo.net is available (as well as locally) - responds to ping.
If I remove the alfrescoexample.www–sandbox. sub domain entry from the URL i see the tomcat welcome page of the virtual server (expected i guess)

In the virtual server there seems to be no extra deployed web applications (should the example alfresco web application be deployed??)

Can anyone help here ?

Cheers,
Troy

Further…
The work directory in the virtual tomcat instance contains $-1$alfrescoExample directories

I am guessing there is something that resolves the subdomain of the preview URL and reverse proxies to these work directories?
How can I test if this is working?

Cheers,
Troy

Hi All,

It seems i am experiencing this problem..

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/WCM-732

I haven't attempted to re-open this JIRA, although it seems it has not been resolved properly to me.  I would be interested to hear
I created a web project, all lower case letters in the dns name, and it worked fine.

Server Environment details..
Alfresco Labs 3.1 final
Java 1.5 (sun jdk 1.5.0_16)
Windows XP SP3

Cheers,
Troy

Hi Troy,

Which DB are you using ? Which Alfresco build number (as per startup log) ? The underlying issue (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETWOTWO-1022) was DB-specific and fixed for Enterprise 2.2.3. The fix was also merged into HEAD for Labs 3.2 Preview (ie. after Labs 3d).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jan
