Restart Alfresco / Tomcat

Question

When I am trying to restart Alfresco, it stops with this message:

  p@p:~/alfresco-5.0.d$ ./alfresco.sh restart
    Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat
    Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat
    Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/temp
    Using JRE_HOME:        /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/java
    Using CLASSPATH:       /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
    Using CATALINA_PID:    /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat/temp/catalina.pid

Then, I try it again, and I got this:

     p@p:~/alfresco-5.0.d$ ./alfresco.sh restart
        Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/p/alfresco-5.0.d/tomcat

I don't know if ports are wrongly set or another thing, and I cannot solve that.

Anyone knows why I have to make two times restart?

Answer 1

The ports are right -- shutdown is on 8005 in server.xml, which is what was expected -- but from what you've shown it appears as though your first attempt to restart Alfresco stopped it, but didn't start it. Your second attempt (by calling restart again) first tries to stop the Tomcat server, but since it isn't running it tells you that there's no response to the shutdown command.

Did you want to try doing a ./alfresco.sh start instead? If nothing else, if it fails to start it should give you another set of messages explaining why.
