I’m quite fortunate to be running all of this on a personal AWS Virtual Machine 
so have been able to actually stop and start the server. 

Having run that command line I sent below, I can confirm that the string 
“api/node” does not exist in any .jar file or regular file. I am at a loss to 
explain how the Manifold repository connection test process is still trying to 
access :

<tr><td>The Web Script <a 
href="%2Falfresco%2Fservice%2Fapi%2Fnode%2Fauth%2Fresolve%2Fadmin">/alfresco/service/api/node/auth/resolve/admin</a>
 has responded with a status of 404 - Not Found.</td></tr>[\n]”

It has got to the point now where I may just have to bite the bullet and tell 
the client that we cannot support nightly Alfresco crawls i.e. crawls that take 
into account the change log. Tough thing to do but I can’t see I have much 
choice right now. 

Really appreciate the help
