The Home Space node referenced by Id: None cannot be found - for admin user

[andrzej_sadowsk]

Hello.

I am just starting my adventure with Alfresco and I've already managed to make some mess.

Looks like I have deleted the Home space for admin - and I have no other admin user..

The command I get, when I try to login as an admin, is:

The Home Space node referenced by Id: None cannot be found. It may have been deleted from the database. Please contact your system administrator.

What is important to say, on this instance I've some documents, linked to the system, which I'd like to save.

Is there any way to set the Home Space back?

Greetings,

Andrew.

Did you create any other user or have an external authentication defined? Then you could define another default admin... (can remeber that there is a definition in authentication-service-context.xml - even easier when using passthroug auth, then there is a passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames property in alfresco-global.properties)

I have created another user (not on the admin priviledges).

If You could please tell me where to look for the authentication-service-context.xml file I will be appreciated.

If it is important for the answer - the installation of alfresco is on the Debian server.

Thanks in advance !

Ok, I've found the file authentication-service-context.xml in the location:

alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco

Is it the right file?

you can use this one, but be aware that it will be overwritten by the next "deployment" of the alfresco.war

But shouldn't affect you...

Could You please give me some more details about what should I do/change in this file?
