Alfresco 6.2 community won't start


I am using Community 6.2 on Tomcat9 openjdk version "11.0.9.1" 2020-11-04 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.9.1+1-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.04)

I have deployed it old-school as a war in /webapps

When I start tomcat, there are NO errors in the logs. I can see that /share starts up successfully, but /alfresco stops at this line:

INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [main] Starting 'Messaging' subsystem, ID: [Messaging, default]

I get no response from Tomcat. It just sits there. share does not work either.

the tomcat ./shutdown command does not work either, saying there is no listener on the shutdown port. There are no other tomcats running. I have to kill the instance manually. It's like tomcat crashes.

I tried deleting alf_data and the DB scheema and start over, but no luck.

Would anyone know what is going on? Or a place to start looking?


Solution

  • Have you installed ActiveMQ ? It is needed when installing community 6.2 manually.
