Rebuilding the database (HSQL)

[luizfrazao]

Hi,

I have the alfresco without tomcat, and I've had problems to start it. I put in custom-repository.properties my dir.root as 'data', so the path to the directory would be %TOMCAT_HOME/bin/data. When I start tomcat, and try to deploy the alfresco.war, it didn't build the database and throws the exception :

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.


Can anybody help me to solve this issue?

thanks.!

dir.root should be pointed to an absolute directory (i.e. c:\datadir on win, or /var/alfresco/data on unix).   don't use variables like %TOMCAT_DIR%.
