impl.fsr.ValidateCommand Unable to validate

Hi guys.

I've installed Alfresco 3.2.0 r2 build 2440. After the initialization, at the end of the log, I see the following errors:

18:06:32,687  INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] Startup of 'wcm_deployment_receiver' subsystem, ID: [wcm_deployment_receiver, default] complete

Now, I wonder, what could have caused this and how to solve it? Any ideas?

So no ideas about this one?

I've checked the code and can't see anything obviously wrong.

I'm presuming that you have deployed to the wcm "filesystem" target and then "something" has happened to your metadata.  If you work out what that "something" is then please raise an issue in JIRA.

You can remove the error by removing the contents of the filesystem's metadata folder.     Then when you next deploy it will start all over again.

I haven't initialized folders for wcm at all.. I just copied xml where the Alfresco wiki says, and started the tomcat. Maybe I should have configure it prior to deploying it or something? Maybe it's my error…
