Installing Alfresco 2.1 nightly build results in error

[garpinc]

Although /var/opt/alfresco is the root directory which u completely rebuild with new version, I get the following error.

16:57:11,719 INFO  [repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] The Alfresco root data directory ('dir.root') is: /var/opt/alfresco
16:57:12,546 ERROR [repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] CONTENT INTEGRITY ERROR: System content not found in content store.
16:57:12,547 ERROR [repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.‍‍‍

To workaround I set system.bootstrap.config_check.strict=false

But there but be a better fix.

The error message is pretty clear - the 'dir.root' property is not set properly.  Turning off bootstrap checks simply suppresses the error message - the system is unlikely to function correctly until the location of the content store (as specified in 'dir.root') is set properly.

/var/opt/alfresco is the dir.root. How do I get System content in there and why wasn't it there to begin with?

I ran into the same error with 2.0 when I had a typo in my custom-repository.properties. I was trying to point to dir.contentstore to a directory that didn't exist. Once I fixed the typo and copied the contentstore directory from the original dir.root Alfresco was happy.
