Hi,
To delete the site which has sys:undeletable aspect, use the below javascript code.
var site = siteService.getSite('Your site short name');
site.deleteSite();

If you use the siteservice, then you can delete the site which has aspect of "undeletable".

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks
Murali.

same problem here with the site list on "my dashboard" but no problem with deleting the site.

i did export a site from an alfresco 4.0.d to 4.2.b and had to create the site-groups manually

During the import, have you got any exceptions?
Does the group names are listed in the acp.xml file?

If possible, can you share the acp file with me?

Yes, group names are in the .xml file. During import there are no errors.

Sorry, I'm not able to share the ACP file. But as far as I can see with my tests it's also not working correctly with other acp-files

I also tried to work around the problem. I created a completely new site with the same structure, imported the old site and moved the folders and files through the Samba-share option. With the Blog-posts it works well. But the Wiki pages are ruined. You are able to see all pages, but the links in the wiki-pages itself are brocken and so I get tomcat errors if I click on a page.

My next try will be exporting the folders one by one and importing them again.

Prolly you ask yourself why am I doing such a cumbersome import. First I'm not an Alfresco-Pro and we now have a "LEGO"-Alfresco on Debian (we used MySQL, Tomcat and so on from repository and installed Alfresco with the war-files) and for the new installation I used the downloadable binary file where everything is included. So updates should be easier next time :?

Never mind this - links are broken.

I guess we will have to use the old version unless whole site-export/import works or I find another solution. This is rather frustrating.

I now tried with 4.2.c to import our old-site.

* It seems to work now, that the site is properly listed in the sites list.
* However links in the wiki/blogs to images or files are again broken, because the node-ids don't match.
* The groups for the site must be created manually (I wonder: What's the difference between normal groups and "systemgroups" - the example sitegroup can only be seen if you check the specific box)

Combing through the wiki I stumbled upon http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/ACP - where/how can I set those "Import UUID Bindings"? Ithink I simply would need CREATE_NEW_WITH_UUID and the broken links issue would be solved.
