Invalid Mod Date error in sync

mnoman · January 29, 2010

I'm using Zotero 2.0. Trying to do sync using webDAV with storage provided by box.net. Looks like some local files got uploaded but not all. Then I get this error:

Report ID: 1122795825

Any luck on this? I've got the same issue.

Debug ID for the sync attempt?

mryckman · February 13, 2010

Here it is... D250100535... just submitted it...

Thanks.

dstillman · February 13, 2010

This error should correct itself. Keep syncing.

mryckman · February 13, 2010

OK... will do... thanks.

I just tried, still getting the same error.

What seemed to ultimately fix it for me was that I had two computers - I had to get one to finish before syncing the other, and I had to reset their file sync histories.

Hope that helps.

Ok, I also have multiple computers trying to sync. I will follow your advice and disable sync for all but one of the machines and try it out. By the way, are you also using storage from box.net through webdav?

mryckman · February 13, 2010

Yeah - I'm using Box.Net... I didn't have to actually disable the others. I just had to let one of them finish first... then when I'd hit sync on the other device it worked.

Good luck.
