Cannot login to admin

jrock2004

Not sure if this is the right place or not. I just finished installing Alfresco on my linux server and I am using my own mysql db instead of the embedded one. I can get to the login screen and I type my admin username and password and it will not login. Here is the error I get:

The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized.‍

I check the db and I see the db is populated but I just cannot login. Any ideas?

Are you running on the default port 8080? If not, switch to it and see if you get in. If you do, then welcome to our world! There are many posts relating to the 8080 bugbear…
btw (again only if you have stumbled across the 8080 problem) try and log in to /alfresco instead of /share. It doesn't insist on 8080.

I am running on port 80. Now before I started I already have installed apache, mysql, and tomcat. When I installed I shut the normal tomcat server off. Could this be causing the issue cause tomcat was already installed?

Alfresco share seems to be hardwired for port 8080. I don't think you've done anything wrong.
Here is how i solved this out for myself:

Locate the file share-config-custom.xml.
In my installation (3.3g Community Edition on Windows XP) this file is located in:

<ALFRESCO_ROOT>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension

Note, there are other posts regarding this same issue that refer to different locations.

Changed the port to 80 in this section:

This assumes you want to run Share on the same server in the same tomcat instance. For further flexibility refer the install guide.

There are plenty of other posts about this on the forum. The above worked for me. Good luck!
