title: Unable to start Alfresco server because of RenditionServiceException
body: <p>I am facing issue in restarting alfresco server(4.2.e community version on linux). I am getting following error in alfresco.logs when I am trying to start alfresco server.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Background:</strong>
  Alfresco running instance started acting weirdly, it was not allowing any user to login. Then I have started investigation and it seems like it was because server was running out of space. I have freed up some space. Then I was also getting solr index error. I have deleted solr indexes as well. 
  Deleted work and temp folders as well.</p>
  
  <p>Has any one come across this kind of error?any workarounds?</p>
