Context initialization failed

[stuartmcmahon]

Hi,
I'm getting errors while trying to install 1.3.
I was trying to upgrade but that was a disaster so now I am trying to install from new.
However I get the error
"Context initialization failed"
caused by
"More than one root node in index: 2"
followed by
"Error occured while converting date."

Why would this be happening?

The full exception is listed below.

thanks
Stuart.

If you are starting a new install, make sure you delete the existing alf_data directory and delete/recreate the alfresco schema or it will not work.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,
Where is the alf_data directory?
I deleted the database & removed the Alfresco directory under Tomcat webapps before the new install.

thanks,
Stuart.

Hi,
I found it in the tomcat bin.
I finally got Alfresco running, now I gotta figure out a way of porting our data.

thanks a  million,
Stuart.
