Alfresco tries to connect to Mysql while configured to use Postgresql

bostaxola

I'm trying to install alfresco 5.a into an existing tomcat7. I have follow this guide http://fcorti.com/2013/01/09/installation-alfresco-4-2-c-on-ubuntu/ along with the one provided by alfresco wiki. The point is that I have installed postgresql 9.3.1, but Alfresco tries to connect to mysql:

13:27:56,066 WARN  [org.alfresco.util.RuntimeSystemPropertiesSetter] [localhost-startStop-1] Could not find alfresco-jmxrmi.password on classpath</br>
13:27:56,520 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.admin] [localhost-startStop-1] Using database URL 'jdbc:mysql:///alfresco' with user 'alfresco'.
13:27:56,524 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] [localhost-startStop-1] Context initialization failed
‍‍‍‍‍

Share is deployed and I can access the login page, but not log in since there is no database, and another strange thing… I can no longer access to tomca7's web-manager (tomcat-users.xml file is edited with an user with manager and admins roles)

Here are some info that might be useful to determinate what is happening:

$cat /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties | grep -v '^#'

dir.root=/opt/alfresco/alf_data

db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco

ooo.exe=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin

jodconverter.portNumbers=8100
jodconverter.enabled=true

img.root=/usr/share/doc/imagemagick

swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf

Hello,

somehow Alfresco picks up a property override from somewhere - have you made sure that you provide no system properties via the -D flags to the Tomcat Java process and don't have a JNDI data source setup for the container / web app?

Regards
Axel

And have you added the "shared" folder to catalina's shared classloader?

e.g.
shared.loader= /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/classes

in catalina.properties

bostaxola

Thank you for both replies.

First of all, this is the alfresco process, I don't see anything weird.

alfresco 27186     1  0 13:27 ?        00:01:18 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcat7/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Xms512m -Xmx768m -Xss768k -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=256m -server -Dalfresco.home=/opt/alfresco -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/var/lib/tomcat7/endorsed -classpath /var/lib/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/var/lib/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/tomcat7 -Dcatalina.home=/var/lib/tomcat7 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/lib/tomcat7/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
‍‍‍

The share.loader is:

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
‍‍‍

And I dont know anything about the JNDI, I have checked tomcat7's conf files, and the only thing I have found about it is on the server.xml file:

<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"
              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
              pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
</GlobalNamingResources>

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">
        <!– This Realm uses the UserDatabase configured in the global JNDI
             resources under the key "UserDatabase".  Any edits
             that are performed against this UserDatabase are immediately
             available for use by the Realm.  –>
        <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
               resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
      </Realm>

Any resolution for this?

blevinson

Extract alfresco-repository-5.0.0.3.jar, change entries in repository.properties:
- db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver to db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
- db.url=jdbc:mysql:///${db.name} to db.url=jdbc

ostgresql:///${db.name}
Recompress to a jar. If on a new mac, you may need to delete the __MACOSX folder that it creates when it compresses by doing this: zip -d [path]/alfresco-repository-5.0.0.3.jar __MACOSX/\*

mrogers

No! Don't change repository.properties, or otherwise hack the alfresco jars. Over-ride alfresco's settings as per the docs and admin guidelines.

olfa

Please, any solution for this?

I did not extract alfresco-repository-5.0.0.3.jar.
But i did modified cat /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties and add shared.loader= /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/classes
in catalina.properties.Alfresco connect automatically to Mysql, a Mysql command prompt appears showing this msg:
