Alfresco won't start after having moved it to a new machine

[kasperba]

Hi

We have moved alfresco from one machine to another.

Procedure was…

1. shutdown Alfresco
2. Copy Alfresco to new machine (same paths)
3. Export from Oracle
4. Import to Oracle
5. Start alfresco

The last one failed so we tried with rebuilding the indexes equal to full.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

[pmonks]

Did you copy the alf_data directory (the directory pointed to by the "dir.root" setting) over to the new machine?

Basically what you're doing here is a backup of the old machine with a restore to the new machine, so you might like to take a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore.

Cheers,
Peter
