I installed an evaluation verson of Alfresco on Debian (Sarge) earlier in November. On Friday, our log file said that we had 16 days left in the eval (which sounds about right.) Alfresco had been up and running for several days without a hitch, but then I rebooted the machine, and started Alfresco up again.

Now everything is broken, and I'm getting this error in my log file right after starting alfresco:

10:24:04,474 WARN  [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco license: Failed to verify license - Invalid License!
10:24:04,488 WARN  [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco license: Restricted Alfresco Repository to read-only capability


This read-only capability keeps causing Java to throw these errors:
"Caused by: org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: Write operations are not allowed in read-only mode (FlushMode.NEVER) - turn your Session into FlushMode.AUTO or remove 'readOnly' marker from transaction definition at "

Which has rendered my system useless, since I have been having it reload LDAP information on startup.

Does anyone know why my license is failing? Granted, it was a temporary license, but it should still be valid. What's especially troubling is that I don't recall making any changes to the system that would cause this.

Hi,

There is a bug (fixed in 1.3.2 Enterprise and 1.4 Open) that was causing the license file to be mistaken as orphaned content.

Copy the contents of your contentstore.deleted directory into contentstore.  Override the contentStoreCleanerTrigger (see scheduled-jobs-context.xml) and leave out the schedulerFactory.

The orphaned content will not be deleted and the license will remain where it should.  This will keep you going until you upgrade to 1.4 or 1.3.2 Enterprise.

Could you post the service.descriptor.DescriptorService log entries that were created on startup?
Did it do this right from the first startup?

Hi,

Your content is located beneath directory /srv/alfresco/data.  When the server starts up, it checks the content store for the presence of the license file as it must always be present in a bootstrapped system.  That is missing for starters, implying that you moved the location of your content but didn't copy in the content store as per your original bootstrap location.  Typically, people start the system up with the default config that creates a ./alf_data, then forget to copy that to the new config location whilst using the same database.

The read-only issue is a side effect of that.  The license service looks for the license file but is unable to find it and therefore restricts the server to read-only operation.

Either copy in the original content or drop in a new license file to shared/classes/alfresco/extension/license - but you might be missing some other content.

Hi,

The license file is sucked into the system on first bootstrap.  It is the only content that absolutely MUST be present in the system in any install of the Enterprise.  Which version are you running?
