Hi,  
today my brXM lost all its content locally in my dev environment. The hint I found in the logs is  
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 15.01.2020 12:19:38 ERROR main [ConfigurationServiceImpl.init:394] Failed to load modules from filesystem for autoexport: autoexport not available.  
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] Cannot find module source path for module: ‘content’ in autoexport:modules, expected directory: C:\LPROG\Ldev\Projekte\hippo\content  
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 15.01.2020 12:19:38 ERROR main [ConfigurationServiceImpl.init:399] autoexport service disallowed

I don’t have any clue why that is, I did not change any configuration (knowingly). We use Hippo 13.4.

Could you check what exception is thrown?

—snip

```
} catch (Exception e) {
                            final String errorMsg = "Failed to load modules from filesystem for autoexport: autoexport not available.";
                            if (e instanceof ConfigurationRuntimeException) {
                                // no stacktrace needed, the exception message should be informative enough
                                log.error(errorMsg + "\n" + e.getMessage());
                            } else {
                                log.error(errorMsg, e);
                            }
                            startAutoExportService = false;
                            log.error("autoexport service disallowed");
                        }

```

eh…reading error messages again:

" Cannot find module source path for module: ‘content’ in autoexport:modules, expected directory: C:\LPROG\Ldev\Projekte\hippo\content"

Do you have that directory and enough rights to read/write to it (java process I mean)

No, that directory is not existing. I also never had such a directory nor does anyone else on the project. I would also wonder what is expected to be there.

I briefly look at the code base, but it is pretty much using project.basedir maven property and trying to construct physical paths to module sources, base on modules configured in /hippo:configuration/hippo:modules/autoexport/hippo:moduleconfig

Check if you had any changes in this area, I believe we haven’t changed anything in this area (functional wise)

I’ll look into it, thanks. But I’ll have the code available not before Tuesday. The autoexport config might be thing.

Looked into it and the autoexport:modules is massively wrong, so that might be the issue. Thanks 🙂 I’ll check why that is not correct and if that’s not the issue, I’ll be back 😉
