Answer 1

Strange, I installed without Sharepoint Google docs Integration Libre Office

Answer 2

Alfresco Share (/share) requires the Alfresco web application (/alfresco) to be up and running in order for you to log in successfully.

If you go to /alfresco and get an error message, it means that either your web server is not configured to allow you to connect, or, more likely, your Alfresco web application failed to start for some reason.

You should check your log (e.g., $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out) for error messages to understand what went wrong.

Do I need to install mysql and java before installing alfresco?

Alfresco requires Java 1.7 as well as a relational database like MySQL to run. If you installed Alfresco using the binary installer and took the default options, the installer will install PostgreSQL for you (as well as other dependencies such as ImageMagick and LibreOffice).

If you installed Alfresco some other way you'll have to install the dependencies yourself.
