Ubuntu 8.04

Has anyone installed Alfresco Enterprise 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 yet?  I've been trying but here are my errors when I try to run the alfresco script as stated http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_7.10:

I don't know what to do.

I'm at the same point as ScottThornley.

I battled through the JAVA_HOME problem and finally noticed last section on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_8.04 which says to add a line exporting JAVA_HOME in /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh

Then, to avoid "Bad argument 'udp' " and "Bad argument 'tcp' ", I need to execute

$ sudo su -
# /etc/init.d/alfresco start
‍‍‍‍

I get a small error from openoffice that's something like "Can't open display: Set DISPLAY environment variables…" but I assume that's okay as we're running headless OpenOffice.

Then, when I navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/ I get "HTTP Status 404… resource is not available".

Has anyone had any success with this?

Not sure why I didn't think of this earlier, but I looked at the Alfresco log and found:

Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.alfresco.web.app.ContextListener…
…custom-repository-context.xml] is invalid;

The problem was that while following the wiki on installing Alfresco on Ubuntu 7, I copied and pasted into custom-repository-context.xml and there was a space at the beginning of that file.  Removing all spaces at the beginning of the file did the trick.

However, now Java us running out of heap space and can't run Alfresco.  Not sure how much memory is needed… I'll have to investigate that.
