Error on creation of new content

[cyber-wizard]

We were planning on upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1 this week but it didn't go smoothly for some reason. I fired up 2.0 again to get us back up and running so that Alfresco could still be used until I get time to try the V2.1 upgrade again.

Now that everything is back in place I'm getting an error when a user attempts to create new content.

SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
Alfresco Community 2.0.0
Tomcat 5.5.23
mysql 5.0.37
jdk1.5.0_11

Here is one of the errors that I receive when attempting to add content via the web interface. I can't seem to find any other occurances of this error anywhere in the forum (apart from a seemingly unsolved occurence at forums.alfresco.de) Has anyone got any ideas on what I'm missing here?

Hi,

Are you using the same Tomcat instance?
If so, have you cleaned out all the Tomcat working files and caches?
- tomcat/work
- tomcat/temp
- tomcat/webapps/alfresco

Hope this helps,

Steve

Yes. I had kept a backup of my original installation from before I attempted the 2.1 update. I put the backup copy back and started using it again with the Tomcat installation that was originally installed in the Alfresco directory. My Web application launches and lets me log in to my user space as well as browse existing documents, it seems that I'm just unable to add new content.

I cleared out each of those caches but still got the same error message in the web interface when I tried to add new content.
