Migration from 5.0c to 5.1e : runtime error

[nic0]

Hello,

Needing to migrate from 5.0c to 5.1e, I have used the Upgrade documentation to migrate my current 5.0c server towards a 5.1e server on a new host.
The 9.3 Postgres database has been imported into the new 9.4 database, and the directories contentstore and solr4/index copied on the new server. So far, so good, it can now be started.
The first steps are ok, but after a while an error is displayed in the log, and although the server is started nobody can connect, even admin (complete alfresco.log is attached):

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 05150000 Required people system path not found: sys:system

I must have made a mistake at some step, it would be nice if someone could give me hints about this error to help me look at the right place.

Thanks

Hi,

Your log contains some warning about the migration.
Did you check them ?

Hello,
I tool a quick look at this file, and supposed the messages were harmless, although I must admit I don't understand what they mean. It contains the following 3 lines:

Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_b
Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_d
Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_f

Hello,

I'm having the very same problem trying to update to 5.2.f  from 5.0.0 , on postgres DB backend.

I have migrated alf_data content, then pointed new alfresco to the imported DB.

At first start, migrate applies some patches to the database, trowing out the following errors in the logfile:

Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_b
Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_d
Difference: missing index from database, expected at path: .alf_node_properties.idx_alf_nprop_f

I have then manually created the missing DB indexes by doing a diff from a stock alfresco 5.2.f database.

Still, after restarting alfresco, the startup fails trowing out a generic error:

...

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 06160001 Workflow deployment failed

...

Caused by: org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 06160000 Required people system path not found: sys:system

..

no other error is displayed in alfresco log.

Full alfresco.log is at : 2017-07-16 12:30:12,517 INFO [org.alfresco.repo.admin] [localhost-startStop-1] - Pastebin.com 

thanks for any help
