Report ID 1198562893: Zotero won't sync.

The red exclamation point won't go away. When I click on it, it says:

"Error(s) encountered during statement execution: database disk image is malformed [QUERY: DELETE FROM fulltextWords WHERE wordID NOT IN (SELECT wordID FROM fulltextItemWords)] [PARAMS: ] [ERROR: database disk image is malformed]"

Any idea what that means?

    Hmmm. OK I checked out the related posts and saw the recommendations to back up my library and use the Zotero Database Repair Tool.

    Instead of following those directions I changed the directory of my Zotero library. Restarted Zotero. Pointed Zotero to my original library. And then the red exclamation point went away.

    Not sure if that solved the problem permanently but it's working now.

    You'll still want to check your database integrity from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences and, if it finds corruption, use the DB Repair Tool.
