[SOLVED] Labs 3 Ubuntu Error 404 - giving up

[capable]

*english version: see below^^*

Hallo Leute,

06:09 Athen, Griechenland. Seit Freitag Nachmittag versuche ich Alfresco gemäß der Anleitungen im Wiki unter Ubuntu 8.04 zu installieren -ohne Erfolg.
Ich muss leider ehrlich zugeben, dass ich ein Neuling bin, was die Shell-Bedienung von Linux angeht. Der Grund, warum ich mich überhaupt damit auseinandersetze ist eben Alfresco. Eigentlich finde ich, dass ich mich gar nicht so dumm anstelle, aber an den fundierten Kenntnissen mangelt es eben.
Seit 36 Stunden - nahezu ohne Schlaf - kämpfe ich jetzt mit einem Fehler, von dem ich nicht weiß, was er ist. Mein Kopf ist kaputt. Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich den Confirmation Code bei der Forum-Registrierung falsch eingegeben habe, aber es waren viele, verdammt viele Male.

Normalerweise such ich mir meine Lösungen selbst, aber ich hab alles versucht, was ich im Wiki, im Forum und unter Google gefunden habe.
Ich hab das System mehrmals neu aufgesetzt, mehrmals Alfresco neu installiert und denke nicht, dass ich etwas aus der Anleitung vergessen habe. Bin einfach am Ende.
Was mich riesig aufbauen würde, wären 6 Stunden Schlaf und dann: Ich schalte mein Notebook ein, browse das Forum und da steht DIE Lösung.

Will mir jemand den Gefallen tun?

Entschuldigt bitte meine Unfähigkeit, am Ende ist es wahrscheinlich ein Fehler, den selbst ein Anfänger hätte sehen müssen.

Viele liebe Grüße und zZzZzZ

…jetzt such ich seit 5 Minuten die Log-Files o_0…

…hab sie! nach 10 Minuten ^^….


Damn it! I just realized I'm writing in German. Ok, maybe there are some German folks around here. If not, to make it short: Been tryin to install Alfresco labs 3 tomcat bundle on Ubunto 8.04. Nothing works, maybe due to the fact that I'm not very familiar with the command line editoring. Maybe because I almost didn't sleep, maybe because I'm dumb. My brain is mashed and it seems even difficult to aim the letters on my keyboard. Does someone feel sorry? 😃
Tried everything I'm capable of but it just won't work. Please help me.

Browsing Alfresco in my browser it gives me 404 error which, as i figured i quite common, but the proposed solutions do not help (me).

EDIT: This post took me 31 minutes o_0

[loftux]

You are missing the mysql jdbc driver.
Download mysql-connector and drop it into tomcat/lib
You may have to clean out alf_data before your try again.

[capable]

thanks for your response. i already tried this. still the same

[EDIT] You were absolutely right. The mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar was in a extraction sub folder. Now it works finde. Thank you so much, Loftux!
