Alfresco not working after database restore

tortiz96 — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:38:45 GMT

I had a working Alfresco setup at one point. I had to restore mysql database. The repository is the same and did not change. I only restored db But I get this error when trying to start Alfresco. Am I missing some steps.01:47:20,265 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhos

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

When you backup and restore Alfresco you must process both the filesystem (the 'alf_data' directory, by default) and the database (the 'alfresco' schema, by default) together as a unit. Backing up either one by itself is pointless - it results in a backup set that cannot be successfully restored. Restoring either one without the other is guaranteed to corrupt your repository.

Read http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore for more details on correctly configuring a backup / restore procedure.

Cheers,
Peter

thanks. I'm using mysqldump to backup databae and rsync for alf_data. So they both need to be backed up at the same time?

Not exactly at the same time, no, although the order in which they're backed up is very important. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore describes the process to that degree of detail - I'd encourage you to spend some time reading and absorbing that information.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi all,

We have an Alfresco 2.1 setup for which we want a clone on another machine.

I have followed the instructions on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore

So the master machine is 64 bit X86, FC7 Alfresco 2.1, JDK 1.5.0_12 and MySQL 5.0.37.

The slave clone is 64 bit X86, FC7 Alfresco 2.1, JDK JDK 1.6.0_06 and MySQL 5.0.45.

The backup script runs on the master machine at midnight everyday. Here is the procedure :
- Stop the remote clone Alfresco
- MySQL dump of the database and RSync to the remote slave machine
- RSync of the alf_data folder to the remote slave machine
- Removal of "lucene-indexes"
- Renaming of "backup-lucene-indexes" folder in alf_data to "lucene-indexes"
- Start the remote clone Alfresco

After starting the remote cloned Alfresco instance we get the exception that you see in "Dump #1". Then, if we try to remove the "alf_bootstrap_lock" table in the Alfresco MySQL database and restart Alfresco, what we get is the exception you can see with "Dump #2".

Can anybody tell us why Alfresco won't boot properly?

Thanks!

Dump #1

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

pmonks — Mon, 26 May 2008 03:49:07 GMT

It could be a permissions issue in MySQL - either the alfresco user doesn't have permission to alter tables in the alfresco schema or MySQL doesn't have the correct filesystem permissions for the "./alfresco" directory. Further googling for that MySQL error code (errno 121) might turn up some other possibilities.

A couple of other comments:

Are you doing a cold backup (main Alfresco also shut down) or hot backup (main Alfresco remains running during the backup)? As described at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore, you need to be extra careful about hot backup, particularly on MySQL (which doesn't, afaik, include a non-blocking transactionally safe backup tool).

If you're doing a hot backup, the backup process must not read the lucene-indexes folder in the main Alfresco instance while it's running - this is virtually guaranteed to corrupt your Lucene indexes in the main Alfresco instance.

I would be a bit cautious about the difference in JDK versions (1.5 vs 1.6) between the main Alfresco and the remote Alfresco. I'm not certain if it will cause problems or not, but it might. The symptom here is likely to appear in the form of unexpected serialisation exceptions.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

After further investigation. We found out that the master instance had the MySQL parameter "lower_case_table_names" set to "1" and the slave was set to default "0", which caused problem with the table name capitalization.

The "backup" instance now work.

Thanks!

Vincent

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

varsenault — Thu, 29 May 2008 12:50:59 GMT

Hi,

What we did is that we made sure that both servers had the following line in the MySQL configuration file (/etc/my.cnf) :


lower_case_table_names=1
‍‍‍

That's all.

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

Have you taken a look at the Backup / Restore process described on the wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore)? It's pretty detailed and most importantly describes the invariants that must be preserved in order for a backup set to be valid.

Cheers,
Peter

@Peter:
Really? Don't you think we've been through http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore a thousand times? If we are asking for help, it's really not polite of you to blow us off!

Things happen. Backup fails. Restore fails. Sometimes people need advice. And another thing… the wiki is not all that clear… especially when you follow the directions several times and it still doesn't work.

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

pmonks — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:33:16 GMT

Lucille, I'm not sure which reply you're referring to - my last response on this thread was almost 2 years ago and was directed to Gunjan.

Regardless, failure of the repository to start after a restore is usually (but not always) caused by an invalid backup set, and the most common cause of that is not following the process to create backups correctly. Specifically, the database must be backed up in its entirety first, before the filesystem backup is started, and the database backup must be transactionally consistent (either by performing a cold backup, or by using a backup tool that captures a snapshot of the database in between transactions - the backup must not span transactions).

Note also that the Records Management (DOD 5015.02) functionality changes the backup equation somewhat - it effectively requires that Alfresco only be backed up via the cold backup procedure described at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore. I notice that this caveat is not mentioned on that wiki page yet - I'll add it shortly.

Cheers,
Peter

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

I performed these steps please help
1)i copied the whole folder of alf_data from the previous one to new one
2) then i copied the whole folder of postgre
3)then the shared folder in the tomcat and paralelly the web app folder
after these i did change the index.recovery.mode to full in alfresco-global.properties file
now all data is coming but if i try to retrieve it like to see or to download it is throwing error 404
the previous version one and the new are in the same directory…
please help
the error is shown like this

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

rjohnson — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 13:40:21 GMT

You do not go into great detail on your configuration, but I have sucesfully copied Alfresco around between servers before doing the following:-

1. Shutdown alfresco completely.
2. Backup alf_data using tar
3. Copy the tar to the new server
4. Make sure Alfresco is completely shutdown.
5. Delete the existing alf_data
6. Restore my tar file
7. Start Alfresco

This does rely on the fact that you have a default install where all the data is in alf_data if your install differs then the above procedure would need modifying.

From your error message it looks as if there are pointers in postgres that do not exist in the content store which infers that the postgres database backup was taken at a later time than the content store backup. I guess it is also just possible this could be a permissions problem on the content store, (although I would have expected a 403 error for that). Does user id running Alfresco have the necessary permissions on alf_data?

Re: Alfresco not working after database restore

inishant12 — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:30:35 GMT

Thanks Bob Johnson, I did the same, all is right like
1)If I log in alfresco using the previous one password it is authenticated to log in Alfresco.
2)If i try to see previous folder they are there and file too containing in it they are shown as same.
but if i try to download the same file it is not downloading and throwing the exception.
