Unable to start Alfresco

[skthakre]

I installed Alfresco-Labs-3c-Full-Setup.exe on my WinXP machine and then started the Alfresco server from the start menu. Later I clicked on Alfresco Web Client which fired http://localhost:8080/alfresco link in my default browser. But this link is giving me Page Load error.

Please help me out of this problem.

Thanks,
SKT

SKT,

Are you using JBoss or Tomcat? Did the application startup without any errors? Stacktrace would help in this case.

I also have a problem starting the server. I get a message that I do not understand, see below. Can someone help?

Don't exactly know, but:

Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: JAXB 2.0 API is being loaded from the bootstrap classloader, but this RI (from jar:file:/C:/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/jaxb-impl-2.1.7.jar!/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ModelBuilder.class) needs 2.1 API. Use the endorsed directory mechanism to place jaxb-api.jar in the bootstrap classloader. (See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/)

this seems to be the problem. I would try to replace jaxb-api.jar with the newer Version 2.1. Don't know where to find, or if it works.. but i would give it a try.

[jporawski]

Which JDK are you using?  Try installing the lates, jdk1.6.0_11.

The solution is allready discussed in this thread:
