I just started using WebGUI to develope a new community website for Adobe Flex/Domino developers and I'm now the second time faced with a completely corrupted asset tree:

- existing assets vanish without a trace

- newly created assets vanish after a commit

- changed assets remain locked after a commit

I use version: WebGUI 7.4.40 (stable) Released

Question:

Is there a repair utility to fix broken asset trees and how can I unlock assets that remain locked after a commit?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm at a point to look for a different solution.

Meanwhile something else happened without me touching the content manager. Under one of the assets a sub-asset appeared which is actually linked somewhere else!!!???

during rebuildLineage, you should take your own webgui conf file, not the original

thats what I thought, but webgui.conf file does not exist. searched the entire PC, to no avail.

--- (Edited on 7/25/2008 9:01 am [GMT-0500] by mwille64) ---

should be there, mine is:

/data/WebGUI/etc/www.bartjol.nl.conf

--- (Edited on 7/25/2008 4:04 pm [GMT+0200] by bartjol) ---

That explains it. Sorry for my ignorance. I was looking for literally "webgui.conf". Now I found my config file. Let's see how it goes.
