7.1 Zip Install - Cannot find Alfresco Repository

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Attempting a build to get familiar with the product. After build completion 8080 returns: Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?) and can't login on 8080/share.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Would like to be able to test your product.

There are some inconsistencies in the documentation between the following articles.

• Main: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/zip/
• ACS: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/zip/tomcat/
• Database: https://docs.alfresco.com/sync-service/latest/install/database/#databases/postgres
• Search Services: https://docs.alfresco.com/search-services/latest/install/

The error usually refers to share.loader misconfigured or system may not be able to read the alfresco-global.properties. Please cross check the configs and permissions that's the only clue here.
