Hello,I am experiencing problems while trying to recover an Alfresco install.The hard disk hosting the Alfresco server died and I had only time to make a backup copy of DB and root.dir directory.I am now trying to recover the content.I installed Alfresco community 2.1 (as it was). With fresh install

Have you tried clearing out the lucene-indexes directory in your Alfresco data directory?

It sounds like you reinstalled exactly the same version of Alfresco as you were running before, so you shouldn't have to set
db.schema.update=true
in $alf_dir/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties . HOWEVER, on the off chance that your old database schema was not 2.1, you might want to try that anyway.

Thank you nadaoneal for your answer.

You were right. I solved the problem by clearing the lucene-indexes directory and regenerating it.
