We're using mysql 5+

If I could just get it to accept the login in version 1.5 it would be terrific.

Are you starting the server from the same location? It sounds like Alfresco maybe can't find the lucene index files - they are in ./alf_data/lucene-indexes by default. You could try rebuilding the indexes, they are plenty of forum posts on the simple steps to do this.

Thanks,

Kevin
