Tomcat startup

[sbudrez]

Since yesterday, when i "start the alfresco server", tomcat doesn't start anymore. Only mysql starts correctly as before. And thus i can't use alfresco!
I haven't changed anything on my system. Even on my other computer i get the same problem. I even tried to unistall & reinstall the whole thing, but i get the same problem.

It's a common problem? How do i solve this?
Thanks

How do i solve this?

You could start by posting the log file..? Otherwise we're all guessing!

Thanks,
Mike

I'm sorry but i'm a newbie with this kind of things
I've found an "alfresco.log" file in the alfresco directory, I'm not sure if this is the file you need:

Nothing wrong there - looks like a clean bootstrap until it was shut down..?

Uhmm wait…
Now i see i've posted the wrong file. There are many .log files in the alfresco directory, each with the date in the file name (except those i already opened once with notepad). What i've posted before is an old one…
But i can't find a recent log file in this directory: the newest is far too old 09.12.2009, which means before the problem came up
Maybe since tomcat does not start the log file is not created??

[mikeh]

Try catalina.out

Thanks,
Mike

I've found the problem!
I was trying to install SIDE-labs, following the guide at http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation:User:Installation
At "Step 2: Configure JDK 1.5/1.6" i've set the JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME, but this seems to create problems with alfresco (tomcat doesn't start)

Is there a way to get both things working?
Thanks

[mikeh]

I've no idea what the SIDE-labs stuff does - I'll send a PM pointing to this topic.

Thanks,
Mike
