Alfresco Labs 3 / Share login

tomcat

Hi,

I have installed Alfresco Labs 3 and followed all the instructions found here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3 but when I try to login to the share using "admin" as the username and passworld like it says here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3#Starting_the_web_client then I just get this error:

Failed to Login
The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognised.

Anyone know the right username/password combo or what the problem could be?

Can you log in to the old alfresco client at http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ ?

Can you log in to the old alfresco client at http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ ?

I'm getting the exact same problem.
There's no application under the alfresco context anymore.

zaizi

Can you start the Alfresco server as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3#Running_Alfresco_Labs_3.

1. Start Alfresco server

All Programs > Alfresco > Start Alfresco Server.

2. Start the web client

All Programs > Alfresco Enterprise > Alfresco Share.

hpalma

Yes i can.

I get the login page and as as type admin/admin i get the "The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognised." error.

apdorta

I have the same problem. Any idea?

tomcat

Can you log in to the old alfresco client at http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ ?

No all I get when I try to open that page is a 404.

The only way I can get the server to start is by using c:/alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.bat and I get some errors when it tries to deploy alfresco.war

Here's the log:

I have the same problem from time to time. It seems to occur after restarting the server and I got rid of the problem after logging in to the old alfresco-client and creating a new user. After this I could log on to Share using any user.

I did not experiencing this problem the first time downloaded Share, but after upgrading and restarting the server. Frustrating not to know what causes the authentication failure though. Nothing was printed out in the log.

I am afraid that I have no experience with Alfresco. This is my first time with this product.

I have just installed Alfresco Labs 3 in a new system (no previous versions). How could I login in the old alfresco-client? There is no 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/' page.

Thanks in advance.

alexander

Had the same problem, but it was solved after I downloaded alfresco.war file (packaged for Linux) and replaced the one shipped with installer.

zaizi

To clarify, you need to have the old Alfresco client working at http://localhost:8080/alfresco/. If this isn't working after following installation please explain how you did the installation as there might be an issue with the files / instructions.

The previous Alfresco client starts the repository and related services up. This is used by Alfresco Share client to provide all the content services using web scripts. You can run the Alfresco Share client in a separate Tomcat instance on a separate server. Even multiple servers. However, they will need to connect back to the Alfresco reposiory services.

hpalma

Got it working, finally.

It seems that the problem is with the windows binary download.
I downloaded the zip version(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/alfresco/alfresco-labs-tomcat-3a.1032.zip?modtime=1217543689&big_mirror=0) and it worked just fine.

I am going to try to download this file.

hpalma

As it turns out, it's not problem with the windows binary.

It seems that this problem occurs when first start Alfresco and you don't wait for all the startup process to finish. This takes a couple of minutes.

andnyg

Yes, it seems that it is just a matter of waiting before it works. You have to wait some additional time after the "Server startup in xxx ms" has appeared.

When the port was returned to 8080, it reconciled though the same problem
existed when the port had been changed from 8080.

ewentworth

Alfresco Share login continued to fail for us even with the above suggestions. Our problem was we had changed the default port from 8080 to something else. There are several config files that must be changed to accommodate this:
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/administration-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/dictionary-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/content-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/authoring-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/access-control-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/action-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/authentication-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/repository-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/wsdl/classification-service.wsdl
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/pagerenderer-config.xml
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config-test.xml
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config.xml
    * $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscripts/org/alfresco/indexall.get.mediawiki.ftl
After changing these files, login worked.

Hope this helps

daniel_andersso

No other users but admin are able to log into our Share, but all users can log into http://localhost:8080/alfresco/

I get

Failed to Login
The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognised.

The server has been running for days so it is not the (re)starting issue and we use the default 8080 port.

Any ideas?

olyerickson

I get the identical problem ("Failed to Login") as the original post.

Prior to my "Share" installation I had an older Alfresco running, and now neither works. Tomcat starts, but can't get further.

kytsym

Man how frustrating was this install.

I tired Vista, Xp, Labs 3, 2.9 version etc.

So i finally tried installing all the components individually

1st - JDK
2nd - Open Office
3rd - Alfresco

And now it works no problems. I can login and i'm up and working so far so good.

Maybe this helps you or not, might be worth a try

Hi guys,

I am really in terrible with Alfresco!! I gave my two days to install Alfresco only, but I could not. I did everything whatever written in forums, installation instruction, wiki, anywhere! Nothings work well.. At the end I tried to install Release 3.0 but I got same error messages again. I stop the Alfresco server and start it again there is no page only "HTTP Status 404". Another time, started Alfresco server I got this error:

I'like to use Alfresco for document management, but it does not help even been installed!!

Pls help.

I changed the port to something else and it didn't work, until resetting it to the default.

So ewentworth has right.

quesadam

My "Share login" problems were a bit different than yours but it might be relevant to mention it here. They were related to the fact that I did not expose the "alfresco" application via the default Tomcat virtual host "localhost". As a result the "Share" application was not able to find the Alfresco urls correctly because by default all the configuration files under the "Share" application point to Alfresco resources assuming that it lives under the default Tomcat virtual host "localhost" . Most people who use the Alfresco/Tomcat bundle don't have to deal with this but I chose to deploy the "alfresco.war" file under an existing Tomcat server. I like having more control of the Tomcat server. This is an installation of "alfresco-labs-war-3c" under Ubuntu Server 8.10 with Tomcat 6. The database server is MySQL 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4 hosted in a separate Ubuntu Server 8.10.

Anyway, here's the story: If you are not exposing your Alfresco application via the Tomcat default virtual host "localhost" but instead you are using a more formal virtual host like "www.mydomain.com"; then, in order to get the "Share" application to work (http://www.mydomain.com:8080/share) ALL the configuration files under "$TOMCAT-INSTALL-PATH/webapps/$ALFRESCO-PATH/share" MUST be changed to replace any references to "localhost" to the more formal "www.mydomain.com" virtual host. That's because, if Alfresco was declared to live as a resource under the virtual directory "www.mydomain.com" Tomcat will not serve or resolve the url "http://localhost:8080/alfresco" to anything it knows and your "Share" application will give you "login" errors. Your "Share" application must point to "http://www.mydomain.com:8080" (or whatever other port you are using for Tomcat) so that it can successfully link and integrate with the "Alfresco" resources.

Sorry if this is confusing but my first language is Spanish.

Best regards,

Alejandro.

2 solutions to the login problem cause i also had many times

if alfresco worked till your first restart you didnt enable the db.schema.update=true in /tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties

i couldn't fix this until i did a new install of the system

2n solution if it never worked you should get the java6db module (derby database) its not included in java6se (also in apt on linux its an own package) and then change to mysql like in this tutorial: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Lab_3b_on_Ubuntu_8.04#Change_HSQL_Database_to_MySQL_Database

(Windows way is kinda similar) the binary didnt use my input of using mysql at setup i changed same files as in linux description.

if you restart alfresco on linux use the alfresco.sh stop and then kill the java process manually (ps -waux and then kill PID)

hope it helped a bit

I like to add on more reason the login to share could fail. I just installed 3.0final and got the same error "The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized." when accessing http://localhost:8080/share.

It turned out, my local windows firewall blocked tomcat from accessing itself (share accessing the alfresco webapp at localhost). So make sure the tomcat process can open http connections to localhost.

Hope it helps someone.

Florian

I have waited till the "INFO: Server startup in 363663 ms" in the server console.

But of no use. I still get this login problem - when I try to login into SHARE.
I am able to login into Alfresco, but not into SHARE.

It keeps on saying - "Failed to Login: The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized."
I used Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Full-Setup.exe to install in my windows laptop.

This is very frustrating. I have also removed the database and installed a new Alfresco copy. But, still having these issues!

Any help?! Thank you!!

I have a very similar problem but still no solution for it.

Set in webscript-framework-config.xml port which Tomcat uses.

Hi people,
just a summary, because this question pops up from time to time o0O( note to myself - that should go into the wiki …)

1) The login screen of "/share" is hardcoded. Seeing that only indicates tomcat is running and share.war has been exploded
2) follow the alfresco.log and wait for alfresco.war startup & share.war startup, share is always deployed/started after alfresco and takes a while. (Tipp: once the WARs are exploded and if you dont change anything in the wars
3) Alfresco and Share run under "localhost:8080". The port 7070 is for the MS sharepoint protocol. Openoffice is on 50500, I think. Your firewall must allow all those ports.
4) If you want to change these ports, make sure to get all config files. MikeHH wrote something about that somewhere
5) One tip is changing all URLs from "localhost:xxx" to "www.domain.com:xxx", when exposing the system on a public system. (I did not test that one yet).
6) After startup in alfresco.log, "startup taking xxxxx ms", if you are still unsure, check tomcat/logs/catalina.out,
7) Next check, try to access "http://localhost:8080/alfresco" - Logging in there means alfresco is ok
😎 if 7 is ok, try "http://localhost:8080/share" - that should work as well, if you started to early, it hangs sometimes. Restarting the server did help me. Since v3.2, I did not have that anymore, though.
9) Last but not least … Start windows explorer or MS Office and open a webdav folder "http://localhost:7070/"

DId I forget something ?
