RenditionServiceException in Alfresco.log

[villdre]

Hello

I recently upgraded the packages on our ubuntu server using apt-get upgrade.
Since then I have been getting the below exception when starting up Alfresco Community 5.0.d.
I have not been able to find any resolutions on the forums or elsewhere. Any pointers will be appreciated.

I have tried doing a fresh install of Alfresco. It works without any data. But the moment I restore my data and content from backup, the same error reappears.
This is even happening when I try to restore older backups - taken when the server was working just fine.

Thanks in advance for your help

Vipul.

I fixed the problem myself eventually.
Turns out there was a dodgy tenant in the database. Someone had inadvertently created a tenant with "password" as its data store path. So Alfresco was looking for a folder called "password", which didn't exist.

I did the following to fix this:

/opt/alfresco/postgresql/bin/psql –U postgres
\connect alfresco
select * from alf_tenant
delete from alf_tenant where tenant_domain=<<dodgy tenant domain>>
