Unable to Start Alfresco

[punitdam]

Recently I came across Alfresco. I have downloaded Alfresco-Community-3.2-Full-Setup.exe for windows machine.

After doing typical installation, I am unable to start Alfresco.

Following are the initial contents from alfresco.log file.

12:48:37,252 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

Is there any configuration I have missed.

Kindly guide me. Thanks in advance.

Hi KM,
regarding logfile position - I mean the "location, where the working directory was pointing prior to starting the bat file. Example : If you sit in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and call "c:\Alfresco\alf_start.bat" - it might just happen that you end up with the logfile staying in …\etc.
