Hello all,

Recently deployed the 3b war file on my server, which was previously running 2.9b.

Everything works fine, except for one of my space, where even the admin user cannot delete anything. I get the

Unable to delete Space due to system error: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.

The owner of the space gets the same error.

Worse case scenario, I can wipe out the existing database (mysql if that matters).

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers
fred

Could it be the same as this issue? http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14261

I will try to put the old xml file, but I see the folders and all, and get no strack trace anywhere. I just cannot delete the folders/files, nor use the API to upload in that space, etc…

I'll report back when I put the older xml file in place. Cheers.

Well, apparently, no.

I actually had forgotten to copy my custom extensions back in the extension folder. So the delete issue is gone, and the update issue should be as well.

My bad. Sorry about that. However, I guess the error message could have been a bit more explicit.
