Reason/ Possible Cause

Review the error that is listed to see if the path is correct.  In this example, the content store has a trailing \ at the end of the documents directory.

Example of path listed in the error above:  F:\Xerox\Docushare\documents\\guid.txt

The path in this example should be F:\Xerox\Docushare\documents\guid.txt.

Solution

1.     Stop the DocuShare.

2.     Make a copy of the ContentStore.xml (from \Xerox\DocuShare\config).

3.     Open the ContentStore.xml and locate the path.

Note:  The path should have an ending forward slash. Example: c:/xerox/docushare/documents/

4.     Make the appropriate changes and save the file.

5.     Start the DocuShare.

6.     Log into DocuShare as Admin and click Admin Home.

7.     From the Administration Menu expand Site Management.

8.     Select Repository Paths.

9.     Check the Directory Path field. If there is an extra / at the end of the path, remove it.

Example of a correct path: c:/xerox/docushare/documents/

10.  Click the Apply button.
