Hi Guys,

I'm getting an issue when attempting to install alfresco. I've gone through the text based installation procedure, here's my setup:

Tomcat 6 installed and running using the alfresco installation pack.
PostgreSQL 9.1 previously installed and appears to be running correctly (I can connect using my postgres user).

I'm under the impression alfresco is unable to populate the database but i'm not sure if it's connecting.

EDIT: Firewall is completely disabled.

This is running on a fully patched RHEL6.0 server. I can get to the /share page but it won't allow me to login, giving authentication errors. Catalina.out shows the following:

Resolved!

After much, MUCH configuration changes, I eventually done the following:

Disabled the Firewall (also resolved another issue).
AND
Modified ph_hba.conf by removing the IDENT authentication mechanism as the IDENT server wasn't available. This was changed to trust authentication and it worked perfectly. Alfresco was able to connect to the database and start writing tables, thus in turn allowing me to access /alfresco and also login to /share.
