Admin Guide Unable to login as admin after moving filestore

[alexr]

I followed chapter 2 of the administration guide on a Alfresco 1.3.1 installation on how to move a filestore to a different location on a Windows/Tomcat installation (e.g. C:\alf_data instead of the alf_data that is located within the alfresco folderpath of the default installation). Prior to making the changes to the correct file (changing + removing the .sample extension) I stopped the Alfresco services. After I saved the changes I restarted the Alfresco services.
So far so good.

However as soon as I am presented with the Alfresco login page and try to login with my original 'admin' account it won't work.

Again I followed exactly the instructions of the Administration guide. I didn't make a custom folder outside the extend path so I did the simplest change proposed in chapter 2. Otherwise I would have had to change more configuration files.

Can anybody explain what's wrong and how to remedy this.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Alex

I'm having the same problem. Unable to login as admin.

Hello,

I had the same problem (installed, started web client, when trying to login as "admin/admin" got a "Unable to login").

Looks like my db was incorrectly setup for stupid path reasons.

Did a 'db_remove', corrected path (make sure mysql.exe is accessible  :wink: ), did a 'db_setup' again and it works.

I also use a different location filestore, but db_remove seems to always try to remove '\alf_data' so I removed my custom location by hand.

hth,

Olivier
