I downloaded Alfresco's WAR, ran db_sqtup.sql against our MySQL server (same host as Tomcat), and deployed the WAR via Tomcat Manager, but I'm unable to login. I tried admin/admin, but I get a Unable to login - unknown username/password error. The only authentication-related message in alfresco.log is
WARN [app.servlet.AuthenticationHelper] Unable to login as Guest: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
It happens - and raises the point that perhaps we should provide some .xml.sample files for this config. I hope you have a good experience with the product.
A sample XML file for this config would be nice. However, I'd like to suggest keeping only configuration files under /etc (or /usr/local/etc), and data files under /srv. From the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:
The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration file" is a local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary. … /srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system.
