Hints
Rule : Contents in Alf_data folder (where alfresco stores contents) matches DB entriesIf you are setting up a new environment or is on an upgrade path setting up your environment,
1. Check your database config, if the db is a newly created one and doesnt have any contents in it.
clear the alf_data\contentstore folder
2. If you are using an existing contentstore & DB ensure they are in sync - the backup should have followed Alfresco recommended hot or cold backup procedures.
