You should look into the config files opencms-vfs.xml and opencm-modules.xml


Locate the lines where a resource type is configured, which look like this:

<type class="org.opencms.file.types.CmsResourceTypeXmlContent"
name="article" id="12">

Make sure your id's are not conflicting with any of the id's existing in the
files. Same goes for the name of the type. The name is more important then
the id, since when writing an OpenCms export it's only the name that is
written. So you can easily re-configure the id's on different servers, but
the name is likley to stay the same.

Best Regards,
Alex.
