Install does not appear complete

Hello all,
I installed Alfresco 3.0.0 from the BitNami package. From an install point it was very nice. It was quick and very intuitive.

That said, after the install, a Safari window pops-up looking at port 8080 on my localhost. Nothing responds, so I looked at the folder under applications and found the ctlscript.sh. When I used ‘status’ on the script, mysql was running but tomcat was not. I started tomcat, and verified it was running, but still no joy on port 8080. I noticed under the ‘app/alfresco’ directory there are only a handful of files… under ‘lib’ all I see is:
rw-r-r— 1 ladmin admin 188893 Dec 16 2008 serializer.jar
rw-r-r— 1 ladmin admin 3078593 Dec 16 2008 xalan.jar

Any ideas? I am running 10.5.7 Server and I did install is the admin user.

Thanks! -Cheers, Peter.

Hi,

Could you post the last entries of apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out file? Have you modified the default port?

From catalina.out file…
- SNIP -
Unable to find a $JAVA_HOME at “/usr”, continuing with system-provided Java…
Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib
- /SNIP -

The only port I modified was the FTP port when prompted. I have an FTP server on this system already, so it told me it could not bind… So I set the FTP port to 2121. Otherwise, there were no other prompts about ports…

Thanks! -Cheers, Peter.

Hi,

We will try to reproduce on our side. Could you set the JAVA_HOME manually? Try the following, set the JAVA_HOME path to “/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home” in the apache-tomcat/bin/setenv.sh file and restart the server.

Cheers.

Hi beltran,
It appears that tomcat may be dying… I start the service and status shows it is running… But if I check again in five minutes, it is not running anymore according to the control script. I inserted the path as you mentioned, and did verify that the path exists on my drive (and contains Java files). But sadly no joy yet. There was some more output from the control script than before this time…

Using CATALINA_BASE: /Applications/alfresco-3.0-0/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /Applications/alfresco-3.0-0/apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Applications/alfresco-3.0-0/apache-tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
/Applications/alfresco-3.0-0/apache-tomcat/scripts/ctl.sh : tomcat started

But still the same in catalina.out:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib

:-)
Much Appreciated!! -Cheers, Peter.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback, we are currently working on this.

Cheers.

Hi,

We have finally found the issue. The problem is related to libpng libraries on OS X. Please remove the following libraries from your installation directory:

$ cd
$ rm common/lib/libpng.*

This command will remove all “libpng.3*” libraries and not the “libpng12*”. Restarting the Stack using “ctlscript.sh start” should resolve the issue.

We will release a new version that includes this fix next week. Thanks for reporting it!

Hi,

No trouble. I made the changes you suggested and it starts right up now.

Much Appreciated!!
