The database is empty

peppelinux

Hello I have a problem. I installed Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install and I have a mysql installed in my linux red-hat. I run the installation script and the result is good but the dababase remains empty. When I prove to run alfresco I receive an exception in the log file, this exception is obviously caused by the lack of the tables.
I create the db with the script db_setup.sql

create database alfresco default character set utf8;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;

Who should fills the database? The installer doesn't do it, I don't know which script fills the db.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks

Alfresco will initialise the database itself as part of its bootstrap.

There is probably an error in your alfresco configuration such that alfresco fails to connect to your mySql database. Take a look at your alfresco log for more information.

Your error is likely to be that you have not configured your repository.properties correctly.

You need to set the following properties.
db.password
db.username
db.driver
db.url

Alfresco fills the database on first bootstrap.

Please post the contents of the log file with the full exception. It's likely to be either a missing mysql connector jar, or perhaps a local firewall blocking connections to the db or maybe some missing config.

Thanks,
Mike

This is the error in alfresco.log

I understand that the first run of alfresco fills the database but
in the guide Installing and Configuring Alfresco Labs 3 Stable - pag 15 is written
"10. In the Database Selection window, select the database to use from one of the following options:"
But in the process of installation there isn't nothing of similar

Thanks for the help

What's in the file [/var/Alfresco-Labs/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/._custom-repository-context.xml]? (Note the leading . so it might be hidden by default)

This file was created when I modified the file of configuration with my editor. So I deleted all file ._custom- and the new error is this:

What's the problem?
Thanks a lot for the help

I've not seen that problem before.

Could you shutdown Tomcat, drop and re-create the database and also clear out anything under the alf_data folder and try a restart now those rogue config files have gone?

Thanks,
Mike
