Tomcat and Postgresql server not starting

[blueflame....@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I installed alfresco community 4.2f on a test server running windows server 2003 and the server shutdown abruptly. Now both Tomcat and Postgresql server on the management tool are not starting.

Can someone help me on any idea to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Ejike

Helo Ejike,

I doubt whether Alfresco supports Windows Server 2003 and i don't see it in the supported stack list.

Alfresco supported platforms

Thanks Sujay for your response but both tomcat and Postgresql servers were running as at 27/06/2014. Alfresco was also running and I uploaded documents unto alfresco.

So it does support it in my opinion but is there anything i can check.

Hello Sujay,

 i think you misunderstood me. I did not install Alfresco Enterprise, I installed ALFRESCO COMMUNITY 4.2F on windows server 2003 and it worked all the while but now both Tomcat and Postgresql servers are not starting.

Hi Ejike:

First, the technology stacks Community is designed to work with largely mirror those for Enterprise. I believe the reason Alfresco doesn't supply a list of "supported" platforms for Community is because they don't offer support contracts for Community Edition, so the concept of "supported" doesn't really make sense in that context. 

Still, if you want to try to continue trying to run it on Win Server 2003, you might check for any error message(s) are appearing in catalina.out, alfresco.log, and share.log.

Hope that helps,

Ian

Hi Ian Crew,

Yea i know they do not offer support for community edition but i want to get used to alfresco, that was why i installed it on a test server running windows 2003 server. Can i post the logs from Catalina.out, Alfresco.log and share.log here, so that someone can help me out in providing a solution.

Thanks.

It seems the problem is on Postgres

Have you tried to look at it's log files?

As pointed by Douglas from your file [Alfresco tomcat and postgres error.txt] there seems to be DB issue.

But looking into [alfrescotomcat-stdout.2014-06-27.log] it says Alfresco was able to connect to your postgres instance and then it failed while starting up the CIFS subsystem.

 2014-06-27 05:47:53,724  INFO  [domain.schema.SchemaBootstrap] [localhost-startStop-1] Connecting to database: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/alfresco, UserName=alfresco, PostgreSQL Native Driver

 2014-06-27 05:47:53,724  INFO  [domain.schema.SchemaBootstrap] [localhost-startStop-1] Schema managed by database dialect org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect.

 org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 05270001 CIFS Domain name must be specified if host announcement is enabled

I would suggest you to disable the CIFS subsystem by adding -

cifs.enabled=false  

in tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties  Please do restart the server after adding this line.

Also check this WIKI page for CIFS configuration - https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_Windows

Thanks Sujay and everyone. 

The tomcat and Postgresql servers have started running. 

I am reading up on simple and advanced workflows on alfresco explorer and I would want to learn how to configure emails for simple and advanced workflows in alfresco explorer.

So that if i assign a workflow to someone, the person also gets an email concerning the workflow. I noticed it is available in alfresco share but not in alfresco explorer.

Please teach me.

Hi Ejike,

After configuring the outbound email (https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Outbound_E-mail_Configuration#SMTP_configuration) make sure you also enable the test message.

If you then receive a message when restarting alfresco you should also receive e-mail for the workflows.

best regards

Florian
