error while deploying sample website from one m/c to another

[sanghamitra]

I tried deploying a sample web project created in one alfresco server into another alfresco server.

Both the servers are running on different machines.



I was successfully able to deploy the web project from the first machine in the second machine however when I tried to edit and then save the page in the second machine using a web form I got the following error:-



Please correct the errors below then click Finish.



Node does not exist: workspace: //SpacesStore/139ab7d4-7ba1-11dc-aae7-4965cdb2491a



It would be of great help if you could help me resolve this issue.



I also had a few queries which I have listed below. It would be great of you if you could answer the same.



Is it possible to create JSP pages using web forms ? If so how?
Is there any other way  by which I can import all the content from one sample web project running on one machine to another machine ?

Hmmm …

When we deploy to a remote Alfresco server, we don't actually create a web project.  We just create a single AVM repo to store the live sites (and all snapshots of everything we've deployed).  That live site repo is accessible via CIFS. Because it's not linked to a web project, it's not exposed in the GUI (GUI only exposes web project nodes, and all repos (staging, user) associated with those nodes).

You can fake out the system by creating a web project on your runtime that is named the same name as your source web project with the word 'live' appended to it.  Then you can browse it in the GUI.  Of course, you need to still ensure that your web forms are also available on that second system (export and import as an ACP), and you'll need to manually associate those forms again with your second server's web project.

But generally editing content on two separate servers (at least for now, until we support lock propogation across servers) isn't recommended.  What are you trying to accomplish?
