[hearthacker123]

Hi,

Am using windows 2003 server and my system is in a corporate domain/network.

I installed the JDK 6 & MySql 5.0
After that installed Alfresco.

I am able to start the Alfresco Web Client.Everythin works fine…….but then sudeenly in 5 minutes everything stops working and the machine gets hanged.
When i checked the log file i got this error :

Exception in thread "Thread-26" java.lang.Error: IP Helper Library GetIfTable function failed
        at java.net.NetworkInterface.getAll(Native Method)
        at java.net.NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(NetworkInterface.java:281)

        at org.alfresco.filesys.smb.server.win32.Win32NetBIOSLanaMonitor.run(Win32NetBIOSLanaMonitor.java:245)

Kindly suggest me a way to overcome this issue.

1) Try to download and install JDK 5,
2) adjust the Windows Environment Variables to point to it,
3) test it by opening a Command Prompt Window and typying "java -version"

It should show:

java version "1.5.0_15"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_15-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

4) And finally, try to restart Alfresco.

Do you still see the error?

Hi,

Sorry resurrecting this thread.

Is this a known bug? Because I experienced the same behavior using JDK 1.6.0_11 and the default Derby DB.

I can't install JDK 5 as I don't have admin rights on my work computer.

Make sure you disable firewall before starting the server and see if it works. I experienced a lot of strange problem because of the firewall.

Make sure you download the full version setup and install it. (   virtual server does not work unless you install    Alfresco-Labs-3c-OOo-Setup.exe)

Make sure you disable firewall before starting the server and see if it works.

What do you mean by that? I'm on a corporate network and that is not possible.

Finally I could try it using JDK 5 and it's giving me the same error.

What else could I try now?

More info: I don't have admin access on my work computer and according to this thread (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5261112) this might be a problem since I can't even run netstat.

C:\Documents and Settings\xxx>netstat
Access is denied.‍‍

Are there any other options that don't depend on the user having admin rights?
