Problem in Alfresco Starting

[sur344597]

Hello
I am fresh to Alfresco. I am facing some problems while trying to start the server. Tom cat gives an error "11:27:47,537 ERROR [repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] Ensure that the 'dir.root'
property is pointing to the correct data location."
I could not find any dir.root.

MySQL has started and I have checked for the process.

Actually I installed Alfresco 3.3 community edition with the guidelines pdf. Then I unzipped the alfresco-community-sdk3.3.zip. The folder structure has changed. I guess this is the reason for the error but I don't how to proceed.

Kindly help me on this regard. Thanks in advance

HI anuj

Thanks for your help. I made the change and it worked.

Actually what does this "dir.root=./alf_data" refer to????

Now I have a sample program "FirstFoundation.java" which I try to run and I am facing a problem

I referred to this link http://www.lucasmanual.com/mywiki/Alfresco and removed commons-el.jar from lib. Still I am facing the same exception.

Alfresco can't start up because of a port conflict:

Caused by: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 50501; nested exception is:
   java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
‍‍‍‍

Make sure the port isn't being used by another application.

hi
your rmi port is running .
you may have not shut down completely so change the rmi port to another value.
