Starting problem with Alfresco on Win Server 2K3

[studitechno]

Hi all,

   I your need help to make Alfresco working on Win server 2003. :cry:

I need to test Alfresco on a local network with multiple clients, actually we did test it only on a single computer (server + client), but we need it to work on our 2K3 server.
Installation worked without problems, but when I launch Alfresco server, the two MS-DOS windows are openned (one for MySQL & one for Tomcat), but after a half second the window for the Tomcat server is closed, and I can't do anything (there is no any error message).
I tried multiple java versions, I tried to uninstall and install Alfresco again, but nothing helped me.
I've no idea about where to look for an error message, wich .log can I use to debug it ?

EDIT: I stoped all services that may clonflict whith Tomcat (like IIS).

Thanks a lot,
studitechno

I had some problems getting tomcat up and running myself.  Most of the time it is around having the correct paths for JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME set up.  The paths that I am using are:

JAVA_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_u20\
JRE_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_u20\jre\

It would only work for me if I set the JRE home to the JRE that is installed with the JDK.  I found that was key in getting mine to work.  Other than that just look in the start-up batch files to make sure everything seems in order as well.

I'v already verify that variable think, but they all were allright
So I erased 2K3 from the server and installed it again. Works perfectly now

But I'm still curious about what could have happend…

Hi all,

I'm back with my questions

I did notice something queer, when I did install Windows server 2K3, I installed Alfresco Enterprise Edition 3.2 to try out Alfresco on a common server, but to devellop a few functions on Alfresco, I installed Alfresco Community Edition and there I am again whith an non-working Alfresco Community Edition 3.3…

What's the deal ? what is the difference between Alfresco Edition and Community that seems to be so important ? If someone has an idea, it will be welcome…

Regards
Studi

Hi,

Has someone an idea about this problem ? Isn't there a specialized Windows server "Alfresco Ingineer" ?
