Alfresco community V 2.1.0 files missing

[sonanaren]

Hi,

We have installed alfresco community v 2.1.0 in linux machine.

I am not sure whether there is a database for this version.

Whats my problem now is, files uploaded last week is missing. How can i get those file. Please help its very important and i am breaking my head(i am PHP developer) i dont know about JSP and all.

How you are storing the file (Where can i get the uploaded file form the file server) is it a physical storage or it will be encryped format.

I want to see the file in file server itself.

Please need assistance

advance thanks - Narendran.S

Files are all stored in the alf_data / contentstore structure by date. Files are not encrypted, but are renamed to {nodeRef}.bin

Thanks,

First thing to try would be to rebuild the indexes: set

index.recovery.mode=FULL‍

in your custom-repository.properties and restart the server. Remember to set it back to AUTO after the server has restarted!

Thanks,

Thanks mike

But i could not find 'index.recovery.mode' option in that file, can u give the path of the file.

In this method i will not loose my existing files right.

This is a server copy, Will the existing contente get damaged.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Just add the property - it won't be there by default.

If it goes wrong, you can revert to your backups… you do take contentstore and database backups regularly, right?

Thanks,
Mike

You need to make the change to the one that's "active" - likely the one in your extensions folder. If you don't know which one it is, I suggest you contact whoever installed and configured Alfresco for you.

Easiest way to backup is to do it "cold" - i.e. shutdown Alfresco, then backup the alf_data folder and the MySQL database.

Thanks,
Mike
