Unable to start alfresco after restore

[dsawyerr]

Hi,

Please can someone kindly help me. I am unable start alfresco on my backup server after I did a restore of data taken from the live server. Basically I am trying to make sure I can run my backup server with data taken from the live server. I tried doing a full index recovery but still unable to start alfresco. Both servers are exacly the same setup.


The log shows the error below
4:24:11,733 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.admin.ConfigurationChecker] The Alfresco root data directory ('dir.root') is: /opt/alfresco-3.4.d/alf_data

PLEASE HELP ME. Many thanks

So, what's in /opt/alfresco-3.4.d/alf_data ?

Hi, I have the following directories in the alf_data folder. There were taken from the live server when I did the backup

backup-lucene-indexes
contentstore
contentstore.deleted
lucene-indexes

I have tried renaming the backup-lucene-indexes to lucene-indexes but that has not helped either.

PLEASE HELP ME. Many thanks

RESOLVED.

I figured out last night that using mysqldump does not copy the actual database itself. I copied the database over using xtrabackup and all was OK.
