Tried to upgrade to 2.1 for Zotero standalone - ERROR

efilgo

ERROR report ID: 1816041397

It was a long message, something about a database. Now I can't even start Zotero up. Will have to reinstall 2.0 for now in order to work on my projects.

You get this same error repeatedly when restarting Firefox? Are you running Standalone?

dstillman

Close Firefox and check Task Manager to make sure there are no firefox.exe processes remaining. Then restart Firefox.

I'm getting this same error. Downloaded Standalone and tried to start it; was told that I had to update my database to 2.1b3 in Firefox first. Installed 2.1b3, but on restarting Firefox got a very long "could not update" error that had something to do with a problem with a table in the database. This happened twice, after an uninstall and reinstall. The error said it was sending a report to the developers, so...

dstillman

We're working on it. No need for further reports.

efilgo

What happened to kfitz is exactly what happened to me.

dstillman

We'll have a fix in a few minutes.

Upgrade error should be fixed in 2.1b4, available now.

2.1b4 works like a charm - amazing work !

Hi,
just upgraded from 2.1b1 to 2.1b4 and have the same error.
The Debug ID is D2137381467.

Is there any chance to get access to the db again?

dstillman

twk: Are you sure you're running 2.1b4? Make sure you don't still have 2.1b3.

twk

Hi,
I'm running 2.1b4 - if I try to update, there are no updates.

twk

does it maybe make a difference that I'm running ubuntu?

Hi,
I tried to convert the backup from yesterday and succeeded.
Still don't know what the problem has been but in my case, I will now use the working DB.
Thanks for the fast response,
twk
