The build number is 15221 (5.0.0 "R2").

Interesting question on the blob limit -- I thought it was 30MB; however, it 
may have been reset when going into production.  I will need to investigate 
this.  That could be the cause.  However, if this is the case, perhaps Jahia 
should not have created a folder in place of the file; rather, displayed a more 
specific error and declined the operation.  This may be something to look 
into...

I don't have a valid backup from before the problem appeared.  If you install a 
fresh copy, file explorer displays three folders: groups, shared, and users.  I 
made the mistake of trying to rename "shared." (Note -- perhaps the rename 
feature should not be allowed for the root folders?)  The operation failed and 
Jahia deleted the tree.

Under "shared" are all of the public objects, such as the banners and some PDF 
and ZIP files.  I can reupload these files -- I am not concerned about them at 
this point.  There are only about 50 pages on the site right now, so the timing 
is ok to reupload these files without too much effort.

At this point, the critical need is to get back the "shared" folder so that new 
files can be uploaded.

Thanks!

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?
