error installing on SME Server (SELinux)

Hello,

I have installed the stack in windows as a test and it works great. Excellent work by you :)

Now, I have tried to install it on our production server: SME Server 7.3 (http://www.smeserver.org/) which is based on CentOS4.

1. downloaded the bin file to /root, chmod a+x bitnami….bin
2. execute ./bitnami….bin
3. Chose the port, etc, and the installation started
after reaching 100%, I get the following error:
—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-
Please wait while Setup installs BitNami Alfresco Stack on your computer.

SELinux is indeed disabled on the server, and I don’t want to enable it (to not break anything)

After starting the services again, I can reach the stack page (server:8080) but it is not customized (it shows Access @BITROCK_APPLICATION_TITLE@) etc. I can access server:8080/alfresco, login, etc, but would like to correct errors as I want to use it for production duty.

So it seems the installer did not finish the job. Do you have any advice?

Hi,

It seems a SELinux error. We will try to reproduce the error and fix this issue if it is necessary. Have you tried to install as a non-root user?

I’m not really sure it is a SELinux related issue. From the output of the script the error is given by Tomcat (connection refused). Do you have a firewall installed in the machine?

Hello, thank you for your responses.

I have not tried to install as a non-root. However, I have succeeded in using the stack by doing the following:
- edit the welcome page and scripts to point to the correct location
- comment out the selinux part in the startup script

There is a firewall active. However, I think it would be best if the installed continued after the SELinux error.

thanks :)
