Alfresco backup and restore

[xeemez]

I have installed alfresco version 2.1 and I already had backup file folder alf_data and database sql script alfresco.sql.

<ol>So what I did was…
<li>Took backup from a different machine having a windows xp and tomcat 5.5 installed</li>
<li>Took backup of the database in the form of script named alfresco.sql</li>
<li>Then I copied that alf_data in another machine having winXP with tomcat 5.5
<li>Changed the directory address from C:/..catalina../alf_data to D:/alf_data where I copied the folder</li>
</li>
<li>Than I restored the database by running the script</li>
<li>Now after doing all this stuff I am stuck on with following error in catalina.out that the context cannot be started</li>
</ol>

<blockcode>Please help me with this</blockcode>

This is caused by the wrong imported database, you should have a wrong encoding of the database values.

When you import the database in the restored Alfresco you should add in the command the instruction for selecting UTF-8 as the main encoding, for example in MySQL is the following:

mysql -u yourDatabaseUser -p -h localhost –default-character-set=utf8 yourDatabaseName < alfresco.sql‍‍‍

Hope this helps.
