I tried installing Alfresco Document storage Server in My Linux system. But There is some problem which I can't fix. I Downloaded alfresco-community-3.4.a-installer-linux-x32.bin and started installing it from terminal command line code

The set up is run and at last an error pop up has come like

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly Error running /opt/alfresco-3.4.a/java/bin/java -jar /opt/alfresco-3.4.a/bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install /opt/alfresco-3.4.a/amps /opt/alfresco-3.4.a/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war -directory -nobackup : Error: no server ' JVM at /opt/alfresco-3.4.a/java/jre/lib/i386/server /libjvm.so'.

the Installation is not yet completed ! And it says there is some error with JDK!

What is this problem and how do I rectify this?? ANy Solution??

  • Which Linux distribution are you running? Why are you installing such an old version of Alfresco? I have read about this problem before, try the 3.4.d edition (or 4.2.c which is the latest). – billerby Jan 22 '13 at 11:51

Looks like the very old 3.4.a release was shipping with a broken installer.

Unless you have a very good reason installing that version, I would suggest to head over to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_and_Install_Alfresco and get a recent 4.2.c installer.

You may even want the 64bit version if your kernel supports that architecture. Type arch and check whether it says "x86_64".

  • thanks for your suggestion ! But My system is ubuntu 12.4 ! while checking with `arch` it says **i686**. Then Shall I use 4.2.c installer?? – Sri Jan 22 '13 at 12:11

    No, the system is 32bit. The 64bit installer won't work. Go to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/ and check whether your CPU is 64bit. If it is 64bit, I would reinstall the entire OS and then pick the Alfresco 64bit installer. Otherwise installation of a recent alfresco version will get a bit messy on 32bit. – Andreas Steffan Jan 22 '13 at 12:53

The best solution is to switch Ubuntu to 10.04 LTS x64 and install Alfresco 4.2d. If you can't do that, you should download and install Alfresco 3.4.d x86 version. The file name is

alfresco-community-3.4.d-installer-linux-x32.bin

That should work
