org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 09050000 GetModelsDiff return status is 404 while running the Alfresco

Question

I have imported a maven project from git hub and followed the instructions given in its README file to run Alfresco. While testing the application I have entered http://localhost:8080/share/ for which I am successfully getting the login page for Alfresco. But when I am giving the default username and password I am not able to login to the application. Getting an error "Your authentication details have not been recognized or Alfresco may not be available at this time." When I checked the console and the Alfresco log file, I found org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException followed by org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 09050000 GetModelsDiff return status is 404.

Installed the following:

1. Apache Tomcat 7.0 version

2. PostgreSQL 9.4

3. Also installed few dependencies needed for the project(Elastic Search6.4 and ActiveMQ5.0).

Working on Java8.

Github repository link of the imported project: GitHub - Open-MBEE/mms: Model Management System

Below is the exceptions observed in the console

Can anyone please help me out in solving the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The alfresco WAR and share WAR are completely separate. It is quite common for the share WAR to start up and show the login page while the back-end it talks to (the alfresco WAR) has failed to start.

That's what is happening in this case. It appears that the emsConfig bean, defined in https://github.com/Open-MBEE/mms/blob/develop/mms-ent/repo-amp/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/module/mms-amp/context/mms-init-service-context.xml, is getting a null pointer, probably because it cannot find that properties file.

Answer 2

On the installation instructions for this project it is written :
"Create and edit the mms.properties file in the $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes directory (You can copy mms-ent/mms.properties.example)".

Have you performed this step ?
