I have been to numerous forums and cannot seem to find an up to date answer. I know I have to run some sort of command. I am on Windows 7 so what is the command I am supposed to run to fix this and can I run this command in the Windows command prompt.
This exception is sometimes caused by corrupt serverindex.xml or server.xml files. Check for any of them that may be 0 bytes and restore from backup. If you don't have a backup creating a new profile will restore them.
