Inconsistencies between Alfresco and Share

[elvo]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new user/developer on Alfresco Community. I was interested in this Open Source ECM and decided to play with it and create customized forms. It all worked perfectly for some time now, until one day one of my custom controls wasn't refreshed properly. I thought at first (maybe by mistake) that there was some sort of cache preventing my modifications to be effective. That's why I thought clearing the Tomcat temp folder would be a good idea. It turns out it wasn't: when I log into Share, all my files are missing. I just have an empty hierarchy. Thing is: all my files are still here and accessible via Alfresco Explorer, but Share doesn't see anything. When I want to recreate any file, it tells me "Duplicate child name not allowed".

Did anyone experience this? What have I done wrong? I would prefer restoring my files in Share than cleaning all and reinstalling Alfresco (if possible).

Thank you in advance

What you can try
Shut down your tomcat
delete files and folders in tomcat/temp/ and tomcat/work
delete tomcat/webapps/alfresco and tomcat/webapps/share (folders, not the war files)

Restart

You must give us more details to really help out, what os, what alfresco version and so on.
What you are describing may very well be a symptom of this (if you are on linux)

Your files should not be lost.

Try an index rebuilt - it sounds like you may have trashed it.

You can try index.recovery.mode=AUTO in alfresco-global.properties, but you might need FULL in order to completely rebuild.

Thanks,

I have done a full index rebuild, and all my files came back in Share.
Thank you very much!
