WCM node issue, causing Alfresco to crash

[hotnuts21]

We are running Alfreso Enterprise 3.4.5.

On startup of Alfresco I am getting thousands of node errors, I think this is because Alfresco is trying to publish the website, but something is stopping it. My log file after starting Alf this morning is over 35000 lines, and I cannot get Alfresco or share to load at all, Alfresco is pretty much not responding.

Unfortunately our Enterpise licence has lapsed and we had to let our main tech go due to budget cuts last year. So although I have a basic understanding of the Alfresco structure im not 100% sure where to look 😞

As the main issue seem to be with the WCM module, is it possible to shutdown alfresco and then restart it telling it to ignore or forget the WCM install so I can at least get it started and doing a full reindex?

Our content store is stored on a central machine, is it possible that the issues might be caused by permissions?  Can anyone give me a definite permissions settings for the Alfresco user so I can take these to our server dept and make sure nothing has been changed.

I have attached a 2mb part of our log, but the error generally looks like this repeated over and over.  Any tips of where I can look would be greatfull.

There may be a cause earlier in the log.    The repeated exception shown is a symptom of something else, not a cause.   It does however show that alfresco is up and running.
