Hi,

I have installed MWS_7.1.3_Fix6 (on top of Fix2). 

Because [b]Fix6 [/b]has some problems, I have tried to roll it back.

I have restored all the files that fix 6 replaced. 

I have removed all the extra files that fix6 contained.

When trying to start the MWS I get the following error:

After I have reinstalled fix 6 the MWS started again.

I have to mention that I have not backed-up the DB since I’m just testing the Fix6.

Do you have any idea about what could cause the MWS to fail?

br,
Vlad

I can’t say for sure, but do you have any language packs installed? Additionally, can you see if the file langPacks.xml is in your config directory? If so, is it mal-formed xml?

Hi,
Yes. I have language packs installed.

The file langPacks.xml was not in the MWS config dir, but i have fetched from the DB with “getconfig”.

The file langPacks.xml passes xml validation.

Is there a way to obtain all the config files, so I can then check them?

I’m thinking of something like:
mws.sh getconfig *

br,
Vlad

We don’t have that feature. Not a bad idea at all.

The config files (on my local env) requested from the db are:
global.xml
langPacks.xml
cache.xml
metaContext.xml
metaServices.xml
…

Could you double check cache.xml for me please?

Thanks,
–mark
