Startup fails due to Context initialization failed

I ran the bitnami-alfresco-2.1.0-7-windows-installer.exe once and everything worked well, but then I tried to run the “Uninstall BitNami Alfresco Stack service” script and after that I Haven’t been able to get Alfresco running again. I get the BitNami Welcom screen, but when I click the “Access BitNami Alfresco Stack” link I only get a “HTTP STATUS 404” message. I’m not a 100% sure that is was the unistall service thing that caused the problem, because I have installed a few programs since then, including other BitNami stacks. I also tried to uninstall the Alfresco stack, delete the folders that are left behind by the uninstaller and then reinstall everything. I still get the same problem. Here is the error log from Tomcat:

What does “org.alfresco.repo.search.SearcherException: More than one root node in index: 2” mean?

Please help anyone

Hi,

Check that the Alfresco services are installed with “services.msc” command. You should be able start/stop alfrescoMySQL, alfrescoTomcat, etc services. If you have problems to start/stop the services you can delete the services with “sc delete” command. Then try to install the services with the shortcut “Install BitNami Alfresco Stack services” and start the BitNami Alfresco Stack.

I tried what you suggested, but I still get the same error. The deleting and creation of MS services is not the issue I guess. it seems like there is another application interferring or something. Since I tried to uninstall and then install again gives the same error I’m at a loss. If I messed up something in the installed stack I should be able to uninstall and then delete the leftovers and re-install the stack, right? So what else can I try?

I run Windows Vista Business SP1 on a laptop.

I’m searching about the error and take a look this post:

http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=8291

have you tried this? The alf_data location could be different, this folder is located in apps/alfresco/data.

I tried to reindex and then I get another error:

I tried to change the dir.root property in the repository.properties file, but that doesn’t have any effect. It seem like it is using a different dir.root, so where is the other one?

Hi, have you check that your root data directory is correct? I can see in your log this:

15:25:46,736 INFO [org.alfresco.repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] The Alfresco root data directory (‘dir.root’) is: C:Program FilesBitNami Alfresco Stack\apps\alfresco\data\alf_data

I think that it should be similar to “C:\Program Files\BitNami Alfresco Stack\apps\data\alf_data”.

If you read the 5 last (hidden away :-) ) lines in my previous post you see that I tried this, but I find only one dir.root property in my installation. Any ideas?
