Share not accessible after clean install of Alfresco Community - v4.2.0 (4576)

[peterschen]

After installting Alfresco Community - v4.2.0 (4576) I'm unable to access /share. I'm running Alfresco under Tomcat 7 with OpenJDK 7 (OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.3) (7u3-2.1.3-1)). When trying to access /share the following error pops up in share.log:

09:18:40,139 INFO  [org.alfresco.web.site.EditionInterceptor] Unable to retrieve License information from Alfresco: 404

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks & BR

Found the problem. share.war need to be expanded. Otherwise necessary configuration is not copied to the Tomcat working directory…

[mrksjs]

seems like your tomcat has trouble deploying the webapp. could you post your alfresco-global.properties file (in /alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/) and the full logfile (in /alfresco/tomcat/logs/) catalina.out

[peterschen]

Yes. It indeed had. I had linked the folder containing my webapps into the tomcat directory. But it didn't have the correct permissions to unwrap the .war files. Fixed now. Second thing was that I couldn't log in to /share but that was because /alfresco couldn't be access by localhost:8080.
