While I have an enterprise license, I'm using community edition in order to be on the same page as Jeff Potts in all of his guides. I was having trouble with a web script, so I went to enable WebScript logging. Changed the value from "off" to "warn". Stop and restart tomcat. alfresco does not re

There's nothing that will delete your data other than an drop of the database.

Something very strange has happened, but there's not enough detail in your posting to diagnose.

Anyway the lesson to learn for any IT system that you care about is to make sure your data is backed up.

The lesson I learned is, don't ask questions on forums without expecting snarky answers. Of course I backed everything up. I said so in my original post.

I imagine I incorrectly shut some things down yesterday. I have no idea what would cause the installation to go so badly south after that, but I would like to see if anyone can reproduce this bug:

Clean install.
Start everything up.
Create a site.
Shut everything down.
Enable web scripts by changing log4j.logger.org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.ScriptDebugger in /Applications/alfresco-4.2.c/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties from off to debug
as suggested here:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.0_Web_Scripts_Framework#Logging

Start alfresco using sudo alfresco.sh start.
Alfresco explorer does not start and the catalina.out has the following entry.

Hi

The only obvious explanation for missing data is it is not where you think it is (so check the config)
or it has been dropped/lost outside of Alfresco.

As to your debug issue - the initialisation has failed as there is no where to display the debugger.
Caused by: java.awt.HeadlessException
Your display is not set correctly.

Andy
