Zotero Library Not Loading After Upgrade to 6.0.1

akaraba2007 · March 22, 2022

Zotero updated automatically. When I open it, it says my database is corrupted and will open from a backup. When it tries to do this the program crashes. I tried repairing my database repair tool (https://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/) but my database is too large for the upload. I then tried the manual repair tool, but that did not fix the problem. The problem really seems to be when Zotero tries to upgrade my database that it crashes. I am not storing the database on a cloud drive. Please help!

This very likely just means your database was corrupted before, and a major Zotero update can touch the corrupted parts more than normal usage. You can test this by just trying again with the pre-upgrade backup.
