Can you once again ensure that the directory path (path specified with dir.root property) is correct ?

Also you can refer these links (its related to your problem) :

Dear Sanket,
thanks for your reply.
The repository path is correctly set and points to my former repository:
# ls /opt/alfresco-4.2.f/alf_data_repo
contentstore contentstore.deleted keystore lucene-indexes oouser postgresql

I already tried to reset the lucene indexes as described in your provided links, with no success.
Please note that if i try to start my old alfresco 4.2.e pointing to the repo directory, it works correctly.
Thank you

It seems a system node(with path system://system/system:descriptor-current )'s property "versionProperties"s content does not exist in your content store.
You can modify repository.properties and set

system.bootstrap.config_check.strict =false ‍

,this will skip content missing check.
Remember to restart alfresco after modify repository.properties.

Hi,
if I'm not wrong you should follow the upgrade guidelines even if you're migrating towards a minor release.
This means you should refer to here http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/ch-upgrade.html
It seems you are trying to make your new 4.2.f installation to point to the old 4.2.e alf_data without restoring the 4.2.f database with the exported 4.2.e one.
Here http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/backup-intro.html it is stated: <cite>To restore the backup successfully, the directory and database must be backed up as a single unit. When you restore an Alfresco backup, you must restore both the dir.root directory (only the above mentioned directories) and the Alfresco database from the same backup set. Otherwise, the repository will be corrupted.</cite>
You could always rebuild the indexes setting the index.recovery.mode=FULL when restating Alfresco.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrea
