Re: Critical Issue: Folders delete themselves, files create themselves as folders

Hi Chris,

Which Jahia build number are you using? Can you 
put a copy of the file causing problem on a FTP 
site somewhere (or somewhere elso on the 
internet)? Do you have a blob/file limit in MySQL 
if you store your file in the DB? Do you have the 
log of your Java stack trace exception?

There is no magical wonder command to solve your 
issue. If the DB get corrupted from one manner or 
the other we first need to understand why and 
then try to correct manually the DB if you have 
no backup... and this may be quite time 
consuming... especially if we need to understand 
which files or directories disappeared, reinstall 
a copy of your DB on our servers, etc....

Else I do not understand what you mean by "I can 
re-upload the files, if needed; but this folder 
will need to be in place first.". Do you have a 
backup of your DB or not? is it only one file 
directory which is causing problems or all of 
them? Are the other directories still working?
