Deleting Node

[neil_benn]

Hello,

        I recently upgraded from Alfresco 3.4.b to Alfresco 4.0.d and now have the following error:

  I've tried entering the URL to look for the node by the id but nothing comes up.  I've checked all my files and they all seem good.  Is there a way to simply delete this node form the system and have done with it?

Cheers,

Neil

One way to avoid the solr exceptions filling up the log file is to 'disable' it by providing Alfresco with an incorrect path to solr so that Alfresco has no chance of loading it.
Note that this is only useful if you never want to use solr for search indexing and revert to lucene indexing.

In (on linux anyway)

./tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml

hardcoded paths to the solr .war file and it's root dir exist.

Modify 'docBase' for .war file
Modify 'solr/home' for root dir

If you set invalid path values for both and restart, Alfresco won't find solr and, of course, can't load it.

Another post appears to have a solution (instead of the bandaid I've noted above) refer to this https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=41847#p122150 post.
As noted in the post, direct database modification is required.
