Hi,
I have run into a problem when attempting to create a new user. I have reinstalled alfresco a number of times and I believe the sequence to create the error to be as follows:

1. login as admin
2. go to admin console
3. create a user.

(this will work ok, it is a test to make sure all is working)

4. go to 'Compnay Home' space
5. view details
6. modify the name of the space to anything else. We used our own orgainisation name.
7. save it
8. logout

(error does not occur until you log out)

9. login again as admin
10. attempt to create another user.

The system fails with the following messages:

javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Exception while invoking expression #{NewUserWizard.startWizard}

caused by:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to find company home space path: app:company_home

We are using:
Alfresco v1.1 on our own Tomcat test server v5.5.12 with java v1.5.0_05-b05.
Server is Fedora Core 2 with kernel v2.6.10-1.770_FC2smp

Has anyone else seen this?
Comments appreciated

Hi

I have had a quick look here.
It is a bug after changing to use the service for files and folders.


You can not rename the company home in release 1.1.
It has a side effect of changing the path to the node, which is currently used to identify the company home space node.

See issue AR-318
