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

I am unsure as to why this is happening.

In recent version, the keystore is now stored in the war, in the classpath, not in alf_data. The default value in now: dir.keystore=classpath:alfresco/keystore

So just comment the line dir.keystore in your alfresco-global.properties and it should be ok.

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.

I want you to delete both alf_data and your alfresco database and recreate again.

Both of them are synchronized with each other as alf_data stores bin files whose location are saved in database.

And check these setting are correctly defined in alfresco-global.properties.

To keep keystore

If you want to keep keystore after deleting them, you can keep it anywhere apart from alf_data. I mean if you remove keystore location

dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore

from alfresco-global.properties.

Keystore will be created under default keystores location dir.keystore=classpath:alfresco/keystore which is defined in repository.properties under <apache-tomcat>\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco.

Try deleting /srv/alfresco/alf_data directory and recreate it again. Then create /srv/alfresco/alf_data - and make sure tomcat/java can use it (sudo chown tomcat7:tomcat7 /srv/alfresco/alf_data if you followed that tutorial to the letter).

Alternatively, you can put dir.root directive in <TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file and place alf_data elsewhere.
