Hi,
I encounter some problems while stopping alfresco 1.4 and after unsuccessfull shut down, I can not restart it.

rtal-core.war/WEB-INF/portlet.xml
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: This web app does not exist here; - nested throwable: (java.lang.IllegalArgume
ntException: This web app does not exist here)

In fact it exists there. also

Press any key to continue . . .

Also after shutting down in this way, I can  not restrart it normally.
Can you help me ?

Thank you in advance.

Those errors appear to be from the JBoss portal itself and the JackRabbit repository that it uses to store user properties. The errors are not from Alfresco. Try cleaning up all temp/work folders in JBoss and removing any lock files that JackRabbit may be using.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,
removed the files that you thought to be problematic and the problem persisted. In fact, I have already tried the following statements and it worked. But then, all the users etc. are cleaned up, and in this way I will have to recreate all the users, spaces etc. The problem is that, alfresco in some way puts some last previous deployment info into to the mysql database, and without removing these tables I cannot restart alfresco. Maybe you know which mysql table to delete, so I can proceed.

Thank you very much for your last quick reply.

Alfresco tables start with "alf_" and the JBPM tables start with "jbpm_"

Thanks,
