tomcat does not start and no exception is thrown

[maximilian123]

Hi,

when I try to start the alfresco server I see following.
Starting Tomcat…
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Programme\Alfresco\tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Programme\Alfresco\tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Programme\Alfresco\tomcat\temp
Using JRE_HOME: C:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_15

After that the process stops and there are no log files. When I try to start just the tomcat server, it succeeds once. When I shut down the server and start it again, there is the same problem. I do not know what I made wrong. Could someone help me please.

I am sorry but there is no C:\Programme\Alfresco\Alfresco.log or C:\Programme\Alfresco\tomcat\logs\catalina.out file.

I already had OpenOffice.org 2.4 and jre1.5.0_15 installed. So I decided to download the Alfresco-Labs-3a.r1032-Mini-Setup.exe. During the installation I chose to create a MySQL database. The database is there. I can log in with the command mysql -u alfresco -p alfresco. But there are no tables.

That are the environment variables.
ALFRESCO_HOME=C:\Programme\Alfresco
CATALINA_HOME=C:\Programme\Alfresco\tomcat
JAVA_HOME=C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.5.0_15
OPENOFFICE_HOME=C:\Programme\OpenOffice.org 2.4

Path
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Programme\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;%ALFRESCO_HOME%;%CATALINA_HOME%\bin

There is no alfresco folder in webapps.

I cannot find the file. Thank you anyway.

I already tried to install the full setup. At home I installed this file http://www.alfresco.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://eu.dl.alfresco.com/build-1164/Alfresco-Labs-3...
and it worked fine. But it does not work on this computer.

In the morning the Alfresco server was running. Later I ran the Intalio server. After I stopped the Intalio server the Alfresco server was not running any more. When I run them at the same time I think I have to change the port number in the server.xml and in the server-minimal.xml from 8080 to 8180. I think the problem has something to do with the Intalio server.

But I can always start the Intalio server. I think Intalio uses the apache geronimo 2.0.1 with tomcat 6.
