reïnstalling alfresco fixes the problem, but when I restore a backup of the repository the error shows again

Anybody got an idea on how to fix this?

Kind regards
Mieke

[dward]

When you started up Alfresco v3.2 for the first time on top of your pre-v3.2 repository it should have upgraded your schema and created your zones folder. What did the log files say the first time alfresco started up?

Is this the log you need?

My repository isn't pre-v3.2 though

thanks for your very fast reply

[dward]

I don't understand then. If your backed up repository was always v3.2 and doesn't have a zones container, then it is corrupt. The following data should have been imported on initial bootstrap.

Repository/config/alfresco/bootstrap/alfrescoAuthorityStore.xml

[mmynsberghe]

this repository has always been 3.2, and I have no idea what might have corrupted it.
I made a bunch of users after install, and then after a week or so, I tried to add a new one and got the error.
It's only after the error occured I that I restored the backup. The error seems to occur in most backups, only the very early ones are clean.

Is there a way to fix it?
I'd hate to have to add all these files again :s

[mmynsberghe]

It seems that I was able to fix it by exporting the spaces I needed, and import them into a fresh install of Alfresco
Can make new users again 
I do hope the repository does not get corrupted this time *fingers crossed*

thanks for your help dward!
