[web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed!

[thurisaz]

Hi everybody,

I just tried to deploy Alfresco on my Gentoo-Linux-Server using jdk 1.5 and tomcat 5.0. I setup the database, copied the mysql-driver into the tomcat-lib-folder and tried to deploay the war-file.

It's not working… what am I doing wrong?

This is the error-log:

 constructor threw exception; nested exception is org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException: Failed to create store root: ./alf_data/contentstore

Can you check that your user has write permissions on the tomcat/bin directory? As the error suggests the system is failing the create the Alfresco content directory which lives in the tomcat/bin folder.

Thanks,

Kevin

[thurisaz]

the right-permissions seems to be okay for user "tomcat" who also owns the server-process… my Server-Architecture is a combination of apache and tomcat5 using mod_jk. Could this be the problem? I have only deployed the the war-file in my normal tomcat-servlet-container….

[kevinr]

It could be - can you try changing editing the file:

tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties

and changing this value:

dir.root=./alf_data

to a directory (can be a full qualified or relative path) that you know the "tomcat" user has write/create access to.

Thanks,

Kevin

[thurisaz]

Great - thank you very much! This was exactly the problem!
