[joseph_curtis_t]

I'm using the alfresco war 2.0 install because we are currently hosted on VPS



I keep getting these errors when I try to install alfresco.

I followed the install notes

copied all the files into the correct directories and I still cant get it to work

i don't know what to do next i have tried the forums and i'm coming up empty. want to install before we purchase enterprise license and support

Hi,

The error you are getting indicates that your Database and content store are out of sync.

Drop and recreate your DB, and remove all files from your 'alf_data' dir and re-run Tomcat.
