Where have you restored from?

You will also need to restore or re-implement your configuration.

Hi, thanks for replying.
I restored from an installation on my Ubuntu machine, also a 4.0.c installation. It's a kind of a migrate. I still have the original installation so I did not actually 'lost' it. I restored the alfresco on a virtual machine running windows 7 so I can store the installation for later use and I can share this for demo purposes with my colleagues.

By re-implementing the configuration, do you mean copy the workflows in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension + other files in shared folder?
I thought that was something I had to do but this is nowhere mentioned in wiki I think. Also elsewhere in forums it is just stated to restrore database and copy dir.root. That 's what I did.
Regards,
Kris
