Hi!!

I'm new to the Alfresco community and am bit lost. I am trying to install Alfresco in Ubuntu 9.04, but am not able.  I need this installed on tomcat6 for others applications, by this I install to alfresco-community-war-3.2.tar.gz. I take several days.


Here are the steps I've done, recently installed with Ubuntu:

1º- Install Java:
   # sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-fonts
   # sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

2º Enter your variable:
   # echo 'JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"' | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
   # source /etc/environment

3º install to tomcat6:
   # sudo apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin
   # sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start

4º Install mysql:
   # sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

5º Install alfresco war:
   #sudo mkdir /opt/alfresco
   # sudo mv alfresco-community-war-3.2.tar.gz /opt/alfresco/
   # sudo tar xvzf ./alfresco-community-war-3.2.tar.gz
   # sudo mv alfresco-community-war-3.2.tar.gz /opt
   # sudo cp alfresco.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/
   # sudo cp share.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/

6º Configure tomcat6:
   # sudo mkdir share
   # cd share
   # sudo mkdir classes
   # sudo mkdir /var/lib/tomcat6/share/lib
   # sudo gedit /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/catalina.properties
      Escribir en el fichero lo siguiente en el atributo "share.loader="
   shared.loader=shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
   
7º Prepare database:
   # sudo apt-get install chkconfig
   # sudo chkconfig mysql on
   # mysql -u root -p < /opt/alfresco/extras/databases/mysql/db_setup.sql
   # mysql -u root -p
   mysql> show databases;
      Check that the database exists Alfresco
   mysql> exit;
   
8º Configure repository:
   # sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/alfresco/alf_data/
   # sudo chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 /var/lib/alfresco

9º Download to the conector of mysql:
   http://ftp.plusline.de/mysql/Downloads/Connector-J/
   #sudo mv /home/antonio/Escritorio/mysql-connector-java-5.1.8.tar.gz /opt/alfresco
   # sudo tar -xzf mysql-connector-java-5.1.8.tar.gz
   # sudo mv mysql-connector-java-5.1.8.tar.gz /opt
   # cd mysql-connector-java-5.1.8/
   # sudo cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.8-bin.jar /usr/share/java/
   # sudo cp /usr/share/java/commons-dbcp.jar /var/lib/tomcat6/share/lib/
   # sudo cp /usr/share/java/commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar /var/lib/tomcat6/share/lib/

10º check tomcat:
   # sudo service tomcat6 start
   # sudo service tomcat6 stop

11º Download extension:
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco/files/Alfresco/3.2%20Community%20Edition/alfresco-community-sample-extensions-3.2.tar.gz/download
   # sudo cp /home/antonio/Escritorio/alfresco-community-sample-extensions-3.2.tar.gz /var/lib/tomcat6/share/classes/
   # cd /var/lib/tomcat6/share/classes/
   # sudo tar -xzf alfresco-community-sample-extensions-3.2.tar.gz
   # cd /var/lib/tomcat6/share/classes/alfresco/extension
   # sudo gedit custom-reposity.properties

Finally, I try to access:
   http://localhost:8080/alfresco/
But, this is the result:
   Estado HTTP 404

I look at the forums and the wiki, but I can not find the solution. I need help. thanks

You need to find the contents of your alfresco.log file.  
And post details of any errors before people can help you.

A couple of things I noticed in your posting.
- you should have the following folder (your version is missing an "ed")
${catalina.base}/shared/lib/
- 3.2 is configured via alfresco-global.properties which should be in ${catalina.base}/shared/classes, not repository.properties.
