We think we have pinned this down. Our melcoe-pdp, which holds the xacml
policies, appears to have become corrupted when tomcat crashed. although I
carried out a db_recover this does not appear to have restored the
policies.dbxml file, which when we looked into it was completely empty.
Pasting in a copy of the whole database folder (as the log.xxxxx files were
also required) from another machine seems to resolve the problem, although
we wont be certain of this till we have carried out a restore of the
original folder from our backups, as the policies on the two machines were
different. So this leaves me concluding as a lesson for the future that
since db_recover may not restore policies.dbxml, it would be advisable to
carry out regular backups of this folder to a safe location.
Thanks to Julie and Steve for their helpful interventions

Subject: [Fedora-commons-users] Fedora appears to start but admin client
notconnecting
Hi
I am having a perplexing problem following an unscheduled shutdown of
tomcat. Tomcat appears to start up correctly and reports all web
applications to have started, there are no obvious errors to be found in any
of the logs. I can use Risearch, I can use getNextPID? But I cant log in to
Fedora using our normal interface (muradora), and no objects are visible.
Nor can I connect to the repository using the fedora admin gui, nor can I
use fedora/get - if I try to get an object I know to be there I get the
Authorization denied page (yet this object should be publicly available). I
have tried rebuilding both the database and the index using fedora-rebuild,
which reports success and when I look into the resourceIndex it seems to be
there.
The message reported by the admin gui is "could not find repositoryVersion
element in content of /describe?xml=true, which I believe simply means it
cant connect to the remote fedora server.
We are using fedora 2.2.4.
Cheers
