Running Alfresco Community Edition 3.2r2 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server Edition as a VM in VMware ESXi 3.5u4. I had some stability issues lately with Ubuntu/the VM crashing relatively frequently. I assume the HTTP Status 500 error I'm now getting after launching Alfresco and going to Share (…:8080/share) in the browser is related to the OS crashes. Maybe my Alfresco installation got corrupted? Anywho, below is some error details, how do I resolve this error? TIA

Do you have a port other than 8080? If so, you are possible getting this problem.

At any case, solution this problem would be -

Go to <ALF_HOME>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml and uncomment the following and also fix the endpoint URLs -

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
      <remote>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-noauth</id>
            <name>Alfresco - unauthenticated access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that do not require authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>none</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco</id>
            <name>Alfresco - user access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that require user authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-feed</id>
            <name>Alfresco Feed</name>
            <description>Alfresco Feed - supports basic HTTP authentication</description>
            <connector-id>http</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8081/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <basic-auth>true</basic-auth>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>
         
      </remote>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

By the way, if you don't have the file in web-extension directory, get it from WEB-INF/classes/alfresco directory.
