Failed to get CMS object error

I am in the process of creating a copy of our 5.7 environment in order to upgrade to 6.5.

I keep getting an error when trying to start the Rhythmyx server: Failed to get cms object for object type of: 2

What we did:
-Setup copied root folder structure and database for cloned environment with adjustments to search ports & root folder path settings
-Started Rhythmyx server & had trouble with items not showing in slots
-Created another copy of the root folder structure & tried again with same results
-Replaced the static references to the database in the views
-It appeared to work, but we still were having trouble with data from external db showing up (because in second root folder copy I didn’t check the preserve external db checkbox upon converting)
-Created a third copy of the root folder structure & made same changes for ports & paths, etc.
-Cannot start Rhythmyx server because of the above error

Attached is a sample of the console log where the error appears.

Thanks for any help.

Check the PSX_OBJECTS table in the database. There should be 2 entries. It appears that someone, the folder entry (type #2) got deleted. If missing, add a new row with the following data:
OBJECTTYPE 2
OBJECTNAME Folder
ISWORKFLOWABLE 0
ISREVISIONABLE 0
You can leave the description column blank.
