Error ClassNotFoundException - Fail to bootstrap Alfresco 7.1

[maqsood]

Hi Community,

I've set up newly ACS 7.x (seven.one) in an RHEL environment and bootstrapped the application first time. The bootstrap is getting failed for /alfresco, but successful for /share application. Sharing the logs from catalina.out file below as alfresco.log has 0 content.

Error is same as below for the two classes : WebDAVSessionListener & CORSContextListener

SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class [org.alfresco.repo.webdav.WebDAVSessionListener]
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.alfresco.repo.webdav.WebDAVSessionListener
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.loadClass(WebappClassLoaderBase.java:1407)

On further trouble shooting, I found both org.alfresco.repo.webdav.WebDAVSessionListener & org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.CORSContextListener are missing in alfresco.war\WEB-INF\lib\alfresco-repository-11.140.jar\org\alfresco\repo\webdav & alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\org\alfresco\web\app\servlet\

Has anbody encountered this issue in ACS7.1 community installation too?

Any fix/ suggestion/ pointer would be highly appreciated.

ENV: Alfresco 7.x (seven.one) Enterprise, Tomcat 9.0.48 & Postgres 13.3 on AWS EC2 (RHEL)

Please check the installation steps carefully and see if you have been missing anything. Also check if alfresco.war is exploading correctly. Make sure right permissions are provided when starting the tomcat.

The classes are part of remore-api not repository:

Hi Abhinav,

thanks for your reply.

I followed your post for step by step installation, war file seems to be exploded fine & permissions too (as below).

But wanted to check deploying amps (as in the post) to enterprise war is an issue? do I need to remove any amps?

I resolved it by removing amp 'ootbee-support-tools-repo' from 'alfresco.war'. the bootstrap for /alfresco context started, however, having issue in database connection (running on different machine with Postgres 13.3) which I am looking into currently.

Any pointer why Am I getting this error? do I need to do any change at db level to allow access to database since it is freshly installed?

I am able to ping the db machine though.

Error:

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection to 10.131.3.131:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.
at org.postgresql.core.v3.ConnectionFactoryImpl.openConnectionImpl(ConnectionFactoryImpl.java:303)

I am  not sure why that amp would have caused issue, it works fine in my case and i have done several installations as well. But glad you are unnblocked for now.

The other error is saying that repo is not able to connect to the pgsql running on that iport, Please check if connections/firewalls/ports are open and allowed to do so. 

[maqsood]

Since database is a clean install running on a different machine, I need to do the blelow change in order to resolve the db issue.

listen_addresses in postgresql.conf was commented out so I uncommented & changed that property to '*'.

if error still persists then changes in pg_hba.conf is required too as per the post.

Now, as the env started & running on filesystem, I am looking to configure S3 connector. Per Alfresco documentation, it says, alfresco shouldn't be started if S3 connector needs to be configured.

But in my case I've already started & tested the 7.1 installation on filesystem so will it be a problem? Pls can you suggest any reference/ guide for this configuration?

Regards,

Maqsood

[abhinavmishra14]

Here is pgsql setup guide if it helps: https://javaworld-abhinav.blogspot.com/2021/02/setup-acs62-ga-and-ass14-distribution-stepbystep-cent...

And the two config files for reference: https://github.com/abhinavmishra14/alfresco7-solr-localtransform-dist-setup/tree/main/linux-platform...

I think there are two ways to it, If you have an existing installation without S3 and you already have content store on file system you need to set appropriate values for this property: 

filecontentstore.subsystem.name=S3 --> 

This defines a pure S3 content store, which uses S3 as the only storage mechanism for Alfresco Content Services.This content store is recommended for a clean Alfresco Content Services and S3 Connector installation, or an upgrade of an installation that’s never used the file system.

filecontentstore.subsystem.name=S3OnPrem -->

This defines an aggregating content store with S3 as the primary content store and the file system as the secondary store. This configuration is similar to what’s used in previous S3 Connector versions (i.e. 2.x - 3.0) and is set as the default content store.

You case matches to 'S3OnPrem', so you can use the second option. This is most common when upgrading from non s3 content store or and older version of s3 content store.

If it was a fresh installation and just tests you have done, then you can wipe out the db and content store and start fresh. 

You can find more details here: https://docs.alfresco.com/aws-s3/latest/config/

S3 Connector is an enterprise only feature, so if you see any issues then contact support and follow their guidance. 

[maqsood]

Thanks for sharing, with the help of above links, I could able to configure S3 successfully.

Now the issue is with search/ solr, I am unable to search in Alfresco Share though my ASS is running fine, error I got in solr.log is as below & no indexes generated.

Although, I have followed this post to generate keystore using ssl-tool/run.sh and placed the files at location mentioned in the error, still having the same error. Have also tried full re-index option but no success.

What configuration am I missing to do? Pls suggest.
