Can anyone tell me what the cause of the following error is when installing the alfresco war file.

The problem is lucene's duplicate root node (search exception stacktrace for that). If you don't have any data stored yet, just delete the directories under alf_data, drop the alfresco database and recreate it. That worked for me.

Regards,
Oliver.

This could be something that confuses developers new to Alfresco.
The default install uses HSQL and creates an alf_data directory structure.

The README_MySQL.txt includes instructions to change the Alfresco configuration and setup the MySQL alfresco database but doesn't include cleaning out the alf_data if one already exists.

I've just been caught out like this.

Thanks,

Lakh

I think the alf_data directory is created even if you switch to another database. Alfresco uses this directory to store lucene indexes.

sincerely,

David

Newbie question here…

By dropping the Alfresco database and removing the alf_data folders, won't that completely blow away all data?  OR, is there a clever rebuild/restore process?  This would be mighty handy with the state of flux regarding upgrading and building from HEAD issues.

feedback on this?

You can perform a full repo export (or just a folder and it's recursive contents if you only have a few docs) from your repository before switching database types. You can then import your data back into the data database. We only recommend HSQL for trying out Alfresco - you should use at least MySQL for production environments. The full repo export+import is database and machine agnostic - it outputs a ZIP file structure understood by Alfresco - so is a powerful tool for moving data between Alfresco instances with different database.

There is a clever system in place for completely rebuiling the lucene indexes from scratch if they are lost or damaged. So just the database export is enough if you use this feature.

Thanks,

Kevin

[mrudmann]

Thanks for the insight.

Is there a wiki page or a document that does a good job describing this procedure?

Thanks!
-Matt

[kevinr]

Export and Import docs:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Export_and_Import

Indexing rebuilding:
The file 'repository.properties' (or your overriden version) can have this property:

# The index recovery mode (NONE, VALIDATE, AUTO, FULL)index.recovery.mode=VALIDATE‍‍‍‍

Which you can set to FULL to rebuild the indexes from scratch.

Thanks,

Kevin
