Why am I getting "Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?)"

[christoshayward]

On two fresh installations, all I can get from my Alfresco installation has been an error page:

"Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?)"

What are the diagnostics I can give to help troubleshoot?

TIA,

Hi Christos,

Check can you add your alfresco-global.properties here?

Your dir.root and db properties needs to be present and should point to correct location and db.

Thanks,

Anuj

As this is fresh installation, have you tried cleaning alf_data directory and db?

Seems your installation is referring to old repository.
