[RESOLVED] Alfresco 3 final Labs --> read-only mode?

I downloaded and installed "Alfresco 3 final Labs" (Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install). Now I am getting "read-only" errors whenever I try to create a space or any other "write op"…eglease correct the errors below then click Create Space. Failed to create new space due to error: Access Denie

I had my config files under version control and reused them after updating from 3c to 3final.

In the wcm-bootstrap-context.xml I had:
<property name="fixesToSchema"><value>9999</value></property>
but it should have been:
<property name="fixesToSchema"><value>${version.schema}</value></property>

Now out of read-only mode… 🙂

Hi,
Well found! You were falling prey to some new license-checking code that ensures patch version numbers aren't tweaked bypass the checks. You don't need an explicit license, but the checks still kicked in.

We had the same problem and we solved it using the same technique described here. Thanks!

I am running into the same problem, except I do not have a wcm-bootstrap-context.xml file, nor do I have a fixesToSchema property set to 9999. All I've done is download alfresco-labs-war-3Stable.tar.gz, extracted and copied alfresco.war to my tomcat webapps directory as instructed in the install guide, ran the mysql setup script provided with the tar.gz, and started up tomcat. I am getting the following error during startup:
Validation of patch 'patch.wcmFolders' failed. Patch is applicable to a newer schema than the schema of this build (1,002).
fixesToSchema: 9,999
targetSchema: 10,000.
If this patch should always be run once on every installation, please ensure that the 'fixesToSchema' value is set to '${version.schema}'.

When I login to alfresco, I am getting the following error:
org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: Write operations are not allowed in read-only mode (FlushMode.NEVER/MANUAL): Turn your Session into FlushMode.COMMIT/AUTO or remove 'readOnly' marker from transaction definition.

Why is alfresco in read-only mode, and how do I change alfresco to not 'read-only'? Sorry for sounding frustrated, but how can something so simple (deploying the alfresco.war file) be causing so much problems? I've seen a lot of post already with people running into the 'Write operations are not allowed in read-only mode' with no response. Please help! Thanks.
