Restore Repository

[Monkthemighty]

I had my server go down from a hard drive failure and i am trying to get openkm up and working. It is on a ubuntu server but I have given up on that project for now and have am trying to get set it up on my laptop. I just need access to the files asap. I have openkm installed on my laptop and it is working but i can't get the repositories to come up in it. I have just put the files in the repository folder but that doesn't help and i try the import repository and it gives me an error. I don't know what version the server was running it is in a folder named JBoss4.2.3.GA. what could i do to fix this?

Do you have a backup ?
For what I understand your hard disk in server is broken and you got openkm installed on the laptop, is right ? you would like to migrate repository from server to laptop ?
When you try to start openkm from server which error do you got ?

I have a backup of the the repository. I is just the opt folder with the openkm install in it. the only error i get with the install on my laptop is when i try to import the repository. I have added a screen shot of the error that I get. On the server I can't access the openkm but it says it starts and then gives some other errors

Ok I got a back up to work on the server i had to start it with run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 and then the server server worked. I have a back up that i pulled from the hard drive while it was failing that i havn't tried yet can I copy the repository in to the folder of the working openkm and have it work. Also is there any way to just look at one file with out openkm installed?

I just copied the repository folder over and changed the permissions and that fixed it

Why not just put the whole /opt/openkm folder back to where it was on the old drive? If you installed all necessary 3rd-party software (like openoffice, imagemagick, ...) it should work as before.

[edit]ok, so you already did it. Congratulations

If you has been started openkm I suggest use export utility available at administrator. About what you're talking about seems you have executed openkm as root and then with other user ( never should be executed as root ).

And if you do not have backups that has been a good experience to understand that more important than have openkm running is have a good backup ( recover an application from crashed hardware is only a time problem, but recovering from air is a non human task ).
