Before we call in ops... what's a developer to do? 

NOTE: If you are not familiar with linux, don't try this, get the thalia ops team involved. These are very rough notes, more a reminder to developers who have already done these things. If you have not, please involve ops rather than trying to do it yourself.

1. Is alfresco running? Go to http://thalia-dev.mit.edu:8130/alfresco

If not, stop and start alfresco:

cd /home/alfresco-2.1.1-enterprise

./alfresco.sh stop (wait for 2 minutes for Alfresco to completely stop)

./alfresco.sh start (look at ./alfresco.log to make sure it indeed starts)

retest step 1

2. Is the IME running? go to http://test.thalia-dev.mit.edu/libraries

If not, can we access the manager: http://thalia-dev.mit.edu/manager/html

If not, are tomcat and apache running? http://thalia-dev.mit.edu

 Try to stop and start the web server:
/etc/init.d/web stop

/etc/init.d/web start

look at the log file at /home/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/logs/catalina.out to make sure that tomcat starts with no problems

If the log file complains about address in use:
ps -aux | grep tomcat (how many tomcat process are running)

ps -aux | grep alfresco (which one is the alfresco tomcat process)

Don't touch the alfresco tomcat process. Kill the other tomcat processes listed:
kill \-9 \[id for thalia tomcat servers\]
ps \-aux \| grep tomcat again to make sure there is only the alfresco process running
then /etc/init.d/web start to start the thalia web server

3. If things still don't work, reboot the entire server:

shutdown -r now

When the server comes back up:

start alfresco first

cd /home/alfresco-2.1.1-enterprise

./alfresco.sh start

check the alfresco.log and go to http://thalia-dev.mit.edu:8130/alfresco/ to verify if Alfresco is running now

now start the IME web server:

/etc/init.d/web start

check catalina.out to see if there are problems.
