Need help with migrating 1.4 to 2.1

[ajones-barnet]

Hello, having trouble migrating from alfresco1.4 to alfresco2.1.

The basic setup is FreeBSD 6.1 using the tomcat from alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz

I can get a clean install up and running without any problems. However migrating the data from alfresco14 caused the bellow error. Here is what I did:

- Unpacked alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz
- Set  the database to a copy of the mysql14 database
- Set dir.root to /alf_data.
- Copied alfresco14's alf_data to /alf_data
- Deleted /alf_data/lucene-indexes
- Set index.recovery.mode=FULL in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties
- start alfresco with alfresco.sh start

Error:

Any ideas?

Hi,
The check that is failing is looking for the installed license document that would have gone into alf_data/contentstore somewhere.  The first thing to check is that the content is definitely there.  What is the result of

ls /alf_data‍

You can allow the system to start by removing the FULL rebuild (it's done its job) and setting

system.bootstrap.config_check.strict=false‍

Then start the system again and post what happens (the entire stack trace is not required).

Regards

Thanks for your response Derek,
I set system.bootstrap.config_check.strict=false and index.recovery.mode back to VALIDATE. I still get the following error

17:18:47,141 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] CONTENT INTEGRITY ERROR: System content not found in content store.
17:18:47,141 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.

And a new one after the stack trace:

When the strict setting is false, there shouldn't be a stack trace.  You should be setting that in custom-repository.properties.  Instead, a warning will be issued and the system will be allowed to start regardless.  The config looks fine, but the system can't find the descriptor file.  Having the system startup in non-strict mode will give it a chance to install the system descriptor content.

[ajones-barnet]

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I'm still getting errors.
I set system.bootstrap.config_check.strict=false in custom-repository.properties
and I am now getting this error.

Is there more to the exception "org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException"?

Hi,

The original ERROR reporting that the system content could not be found is a symptom of the same thing that is causing the script issue.  I've raised a minor enhancement that this should be handled in a neater way: http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1701

It really does look as if your contentstore isn't being found.  It's not just the license that is missing.

So is there something broken in /alf_data on my system?

Is there anything physically in the location 2007/8/3/17/38/873d028d-4194-11dc-937f-c52bf5323e59.bin?
