Administrator password on fresh install not working

Good afternoon,

Currently I have an alfresco install in our environment running on Windows server 2008. I want to move it over to Linux. I have tried this a couple times in the past and always run into the same roadblock. When I attempt to log into the alfresco share for the first time the administrator password doesn't work. I have even gone so far as to start completely from scratch with a new Cent OS 6.2 install, and installed Alfresco making absolutely sure I am typing in the administrator password correctly. It makes no difference the administrator account will fail to log in every time. I have to assume that running on Cent OS is a pretty standard thing to do, so what could be causing this issue on a completely clean install?

Figured out my issue. This will probably be totally obvious to those of you used to Linux, but I am still a beginner.

After reviewing the log files I realized that when Alfresco/Tomcat was starting it was not able to resolve it's own hostname (in my case alfresco.localdomain). In order to resolve the issue I added a new line in the host file pointing 127.0.0.1 to alfresco.localdomain. I then started the services and everything worked as expected.

I realize this is an amateur mistake, but hopefully if any other noobies run into the same issue this will help them out.

Good you are trying out LINUX
Few things when in centos to check
    See whether you have disabled Firewall
    See SELinux is disabled
Best of luck
