Can someone please help me and why is HSQL getting started?

Iam runnin Alfresco 1.4 on a Windows Server 2003 and i installed it from the war.zip.tomcat was already on!

I casnt login when i start that as a service but when i start the startup from the console it works and i guess there is a problem with the database.

Thank you

Hi,

Did you hardcode the path to the content store (dir.root) ?

Hmm could you please explain to me what you mean because i dont really understand that sentence.

Thank you!

The only thing i did i just put the war file in the webapps folder and then put the mysql connector wher eit shopuld go and that it!:-)

Hi,

If you do not configure Alfresco with a full path name to where you want the content store and indexes to be stored on your file system, what happens is that Alfresco will use a relative path.

If the latter is true, then starting Alfresco from command line and later as a service would create the content store in two locations on disk. The first content store you create will be the coherent one. The second one won't and will cause an error similar to the one you are seeing.

To alleviate this problem you should override the default property (dir.root) with a full path to a location on disk to store the content store and indexes.

This article has instructions on how to do that:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration

Hope this helps,

–Aladdin

This only happens when i start it as a windows service but when i start it from the console it works fine?

JAVA_HOME is set!!!

Does the Windows Service look somewher else?

[richmitc]

Did you set all the options as per this post?

http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=4071&highlight=tomcat5w

CLASSPATH is among them.

Just a suggestion as to where to check…

[burner]

Yes i did but the problem is another one but i solved it!When you use Tomcat as a service it has its own JAVA_HOME and i guess my was pointing at JRE and not on JDK but anyways there are two ways of fixing this problem what i read.
One way is to chnage it in the windows registry where to point at(i didnt  do that) and the other one is to copy tools.jar into TOMCATHOME/COMMon/LIB and it works fine!
