Problem Starting Virtual Tomcat (WCM 2.9)

[avator]

Hi.
I have deployed Alfresco 2.9 and WCM module 2.9 on Windows XP.
I have extracted both arc to the same folder then i have made all according to instructions:

- moved wcm-bootstrap-context.xml to appropriate folder
- corrected custom-repository.properties, custom-hibernate-dialect.properties and openoffice-startup-context.xml
- updated MySQL connector

After that i've tried to run alf_start.bat it has started without errors.
And when i've started virtual_start.bat it started but there was error and this error was repiting.

Text of error:

"INFO: Connection failure to remote Alfresco JMX server may be transient.  Retrying…
27.11.2007 13:14:39 org.alfresco.mbeans.VirtServerRegistrationThread registerVirtServer

What I've made wrong?

Oh…
I forgot.
Can somebody from Alfresco Team comment, does word "Labs" in the name of release mean that it is for testing purpose only?
And if so, when the stable version will be released?

same problem found here.  The virtualisation for version 2.9dev (downloaded and installed today November 27th) does not work 'out of the box'.
A simple installation of the Community version and the WCM Community addition reveals this immediately at start-up.

I know, but community edition has other problems… I hope that this bugs are fixed in 2.9… but I can not test it… because virtualization server is not working correctly…

My reply aimed at showing that you're not the only one encountering this problem.  I tried the installation on Linux as well, and with MySQL.
I added 'avm.remote.host=localhost' in $VIRTUAL_TOMCAT_HOME/conf/alfresco-shared.properties.

This gets the connection going, for the time being.

Thnx, it's working, hurray!

Hi,

I'm encountering the same problem in the alfresco community edition 2.9.0B and alfresco web content management 2.9.0B versions of alfresco.
I tried the solution given with the adding of avm.remote.host=localhost' in the $VIRTUAL_TOMCAT_HOME/conf/alfresco-shared.properties file, but i still cannot connect to the virtual server.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

By the way I installed alfresco in windows XP, mysql db and using tomcat as my server.
