Startup error: 'webscripts must exist; it was not found

Hello,

I am currently having a problem with our Alfresco installation.  A few days ago I needed to reboot the server running our Alfresco installation.  I shutdown Alfresco and rebooted the machine but after it came back up when I tried to start Alfresco I get the following error in my Alfresco.log file.

09:39:40,121 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/alfresco]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.alfresco.web.app.ContextListener
org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException: Web Script Store workspace://SpacesStore/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:webscripts must exist; it was not found‍‍

After searching the forums for answers I found only a few posts about this and they indicated that the "Data Dictionary" space had been removed and to copy it back.  The only problem is that Alfresco won't start and I have been unable to find a manual way of copying the Space back into my Alfresco installation.

Here is a listing of things I have tried:
1) Rebuild the indexes ( Succeeds but the same error returns after rebuild)
2a) Created a new install of the same version of Alfresco and exported the "Data Dictionary" space to an *.acp file. ( Export worked but the old installation of Alfresco will not import the files producing the following errors)

09:51:44,797 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterBootstrap] Store exists - bootstrap ignored: user://alfrescoUserStore
09:51:44,803 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterBootstrap] Store exists - bootstrap ignored: system://system
09:51:44,812 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterBootstrap] Store exists - bootstrap ignored: workspace://lightWeightVersionStore
09:51:44,817 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterBootstrap] Store exists - bootstrap ignored: archive://SpacesStore
09:51:44,824 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterBootstrap] Store exists - bootstrap ignored: workspace://SpacesStore
‍‍‍‍‍‍

2b) Created a new install of the same version of Alfresco and exported everything to *.acp files.  (Export works but the same error as in 2a is reported)

3) I have tried copying my specific alf_data folders from the old install to a new install of the same and greater version ie (2.1.0R1, 2.1.0, 2.9.0B2).  So in my alf_data directory under contentstore there is a directory "2007" and I would place it inside the new installation's alf_data/contentstore directory and rebuild the indexes.  (Indexes get rebuild but the error still remains)

So does anyone know of a way to manually create this "Data Dictionary" space or copy it in from another install.  Alternatively is there a way to manually import all the old space data from the previous install to the new install.

Here are the specifics of the install:
OS:  CentOS 4.4
Kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp
Alfresco Version: 2.1.0R1

Here is the full output from the Alfresco Startup.

You don't know if your Data Dictionary is missing yet?

Remove

<property name="mustExist"><value>true</value></property>
‍‍

from

web-scripts-application-context.xml
‍‍

and restart.

That should at least let you diagnose the cause of your problem.

Thanks for the quick response!

I commented out the two lines

from 

web-scripts-application-context.xml‍

and restarted Alfresco and it came up without any errors

When I logged in sure enough the Data Dictionary was missing.  I am going to try importing the Data Dictionary .acp file I created from a new install and then add those lines back in.

Thank you very much for your help!  Smiley Very Happy

Hi,

If it was deleted you should be able to restore it from the 'Manage Deleted Items' screen…

Login as admin, go to User Profile, then Manage Deleted Items. You can recover the space from there.

I did find the Data Dictionary space in the "Delete Items" once it was recovered I changed the file mentioned above and added the two lines back in.  On restart there were no errors and everything seems to be working fine.  I am going to lock the "Data Dictionary" directory down so that this should not happen again.

Thanks once again for all your help.   Smiley Very Happy

Hello,

My data dictionary is missing too and I think it is a bug in the 2.1.0 release. I tried to recover it using your instructions Steve, but it gives me an error on recovery:

Failed to recover the item "Data Dictionary" due to error: Class definition projectsummary does not exist.
‍‍‍

I would greatly apreciate any help. I cannot upload any content in an alfresco portlet in liferay. I think it might be due to this. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem after a FULL reindex on 2.1.1 enterprise.
After commenting the mustExists property the server comes back up.
However my DataDictionary and Webscripts directories were present. They weren't missing at all.
In that case why would I get this error?

Does it have to do anything with the Re-indexing parameters used and the way the indexes were created?
