Tomcat starts - Cannot start Alfresco - Blank screen

[coolwombat]

Just installed the V1.2 Tomcat bundle. Installed according to instructions (MySQL available thorugh XAMPP 1.5.1). Using Windows XP

Started Tomcat server, get a message Server Startup in 116538ms

Everything looks OK! Tables created with ISAM.

Trying to start Alfresco with Firefox 1.5 with http://localhost:8080/alfresco I get a blank screen.

With IE same thing.

Any help would be great!

Hi,

The telltale problem is this: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:8080

This means that you have another application already using the port that Tomcat want's to use. You can either stop that application, or reconfigure Tomcat to use a different port (see the TOmcat documentation for how to do that).

Also, creating the database tables using ISAM is a bad idea, you should use InnoDB to provide transactional support.

Hope this helps,

Steve

[derek]

Let me rephrase that: You must use InnoDB or one of the other transactional types.
