alfresco unable to start


Just installing a brand new alfresco and the share application is able to start but the alfresco repo doesn't. I get the following error in the BE:

PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.alfresco.web.app.ContextLoaderListener

I am unsure as to why this is happening.


Solution

  • Thank you all for your replies. In the end the only thing that worked was copying the keystore folder under the expanded war to the custom directory. Nothing else would work.
