theweaselkingYou are a Fedora 4 server running Apache with Tomcat 5.5 and Sun Java 1.5.0, MySQL 4, and Alfresco 1.3.0
You crash suddenly and without warning, locking up *solid*. After a reboot and a good fscking, you're up again. Everything works normally, EXCEPT Alfresco.
Alfresco, for those of you playing at home, is java web application that runs under Tomcat and holds data in a MySQL database. That's the most important thing to remember, here.
Now: MySQL is working, because I can see it working and because Bugzilla is working.
Apache is working because I can get to Tomcat.
Tomcat is working because I can reach the "OMG YOU INSTALLED TOMCAT LOL" page, and because Tomcat itself is delivering the error messages I'm receiving.
Java *says* it's working, but I don't have any easy way to test that claim.
Whenever I try to reach any of Alfresco's pages, I get a 404 "the specified resource is not available" message from Tomcat. It doesn't matter if the page is jsp, HTML, or a text file I added. The permissions on the entire folder set are 755 with owner tomcat:tomcat.
The files in question are, to the best of my ability to tell, really where they should be.
Pop quiz: Where do you go next?
(re Shooting the hostage: Alfresco was the hostage, and has already been shot. The hostage is bleeding on the ground as we speak. While shooting the hostage *AGAIN* is very very tempting, I'd rather not go right to that solution quite yet.)
