Problem starting service directly after installation

[alexlush]

Hi,

Apologies if the solution to this problem is blatently obvious, but I'm new to all this unfortuately!!

I have just registered, downloaded and installed Alfresco ECMS Enterprise Network on a 30 day trial.

I installed using the default settings (all components: Alfresco Servr, Java 5.0 and OpenOffice, using HSQLDB as the database) on a clean virtual PC installation of WinXP Pro (no service packs installed as yet).

When I start the software using the Desktop Shorcut (alf_start.bat), the process runs for a while and appears to be doing things, then after a while the line "INFO: Server startup in 1651215 ms" appears in the Tomcat console window and the process appears to just hang up.

I can post logs for people to have a look at if required, but you'll need to tell me where they are located!!

As I said, I'm sure there i something obvious I'm mising here. Your help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

Alex

Hi,

Can you access http://localhost:8080/alfresco after you see the "INFO: Server startup in xxxxxms" line?

Hi,

Yes. I now have Alfresco running, no idea what I did, but seems OK now.

Thanks for your reply.
