Web Script Status 404 when connecting to community admin console

[AgentofLucian]

Hello, 

I'm having an issue accessing my repository admin console.  After folllowing the documentation, it brought me to a page stating that the /admin script didn't exist. The URL i was using is:

http://myhostname:8080/alfresco/s/admin

The version of Alfresco i'm running is 4.2.0.  I know that there have been many more recent versions, but this is a new job, and I haven't had a chance to upgrade all the software yet.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

If you are using enterprise version the URL is:

http://<your-host-name>:<alfresco-port>/alfresco/service/enterprise/admin

For community version:

http://<your-host-name>:<alfresco-port>/alfresco/s/admin

Seems you are using enterprise version 4.2.x based on tag of this post, try using the enterprise url given above. Visit the documentation links for more info.

Ah, I apologize, I used the wrong tag, but it absolutely is community v 4.2.0, so the enterprise URL doesn't work unfortunately.

Try http://myhostname:8080/alfresco if it returns something.
If not, what operating system are you running?
Are you sure that the repository is running?
In Windows:

netstat -nao|find "8080"

In Linux (older one):

netstat -tln|grep 8080

In Linux (newer one works also in older one):

lsof -i -P -n|grep LISTEN|grep 8080

Thank you for your response!

I tried your suggestion and it brought me to "My Alfresco Dashboard" and allowed me to sign in. 

Alfresco is being hosted off of a linux server, in which Tomcat responded to the port listen request.

What are your thoughts?

Try if this relative url works (index of all webscripts): /alfresco/service/index
But in 4.2 there is no admin console there as far as I remember.
It is here:

Ahh, I see that now, thank you! That's unfortunate that there is no admin console, but thank you for your help!
