Hi,
I am trying to install Alfresco and have spent about a week trying to get it to work.  I feel like I have gone in circles reading instructions and following suggestions in the forums.  I have done all I can think of, even though the solution may be easy and rather obvious.  My problem lies with Tomcat not liking Alfresco.  Here is the catalina log where it is clear that my admin.xml isn't configured correctly.  Maybe this is a Tomcat problem and not an Alfresco problem?  Any suggestions you could offer would be extremely useful.  I really want to try out Alfresco!

Hi,

Can you post the steps you took to install Alfresco on Tomcat along with a brief description of your environement? That way we might have a better idea on where the problem(s) could be.

Cheers,
