Missing Libraries

panopticon0617

Hello,

I run the most recent version of Zotero off my computer at work. We recently upgraded here from Windows XP to Windows 7, and I've since discovered that I cannot access my Zotero libraries through Firefox. I know the files were not deleted - I have navigated to the custom directory I set up and the storage folder still contains them - but they don't appear in the user interface. I have disabled all other Firefox extensions except Zotero, and I've also tried copying the storage folder and the sqlite file into a new custom data directory, but neither of these measures has fixed the problem.

Do you know what the source of the problem might be? Is there anything I can do to fix it?


Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the fast response! I found the solution to the problem - I removed zotero.sqlite and zotero.sqlite.bak from the data directory (incidentally, there was a zotero.sqlite1.bak file in there, but I left it there). When I reopened Firefox I had full access to my files.

But why did that work?


Thanks!
