Stink. Once I copied across my whole profile to the new profile path, I get the same error as before. "report errors" is grayed out.
-
OK, did that and Zotero now seems OK with my database. I have of course lost access to a shed-load of settings and so on. So where from here? Thanks
-
No, the error remains. Sorry, the upload has failed a couple of times now with Internal Server Error. I'll try again tomorrow.
-
Thanks Dan, I have uploaded my database as you suggest. Zotero Standalone seemed fine with the database, but actually blew up with an error when I tried to move up/down the duplicated records list with the keyboard arrow keys.

Hi Dan, I renamed ztoero2 back to zotero and the error returned. I checked database integrity- it reported back fine. I closed firefox, renamed prefs.js and restarted firefox- still got the error. Firefox created a new prefs.js which I deleted…
-
Thanks Dan. The error does not happen after I rename D:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%random%.default\zotero to .\zotero2

extensions.zotero.sourceList.persist doesn't exist. I have extensions.zotero.sortNotesChronologically and extensions.zotero.statusBarIcon but nothing in between. Does that help?
-
about:addons now shows the only addon enabled is Zotero 3.0b2. I still get 'an error has occurred. Please restart Firefox' when clicking the Zotero icon in the bottom par. This time the option to report errors under the Gears menu is gray…
-
Sure. are there any I should particularly focus on?
-
I should have followed up on that. It was a one-off, as I had experienced previously. I still cannot open my Zotero database from within Firefox on 95% of attempts; and I have to restart in order to try again. So I have downloaded Zotero…
-
And today, Zotero opens fine. The antivirus has not changed, nor anything else I can think of.
-
zotero.sqlite-journal has been re-created. Is it any use for me to send it to you?
-
OK, reinstalled Zotero 2.1.6 and tried again. Same result. New report ID: 493237790 Thanks
-
My Zotero data directory is stored on a local disk D:\Documents and Settings\Graham\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nqv335r6.default\zotero\ where d: is a hard disk in the PC. I have renamed the journal to zotero.sqlite-journal.bak an…

Having "upgraded" to zotero 2.1, can I reinstall an older version and regain access to my database?
-
I have uninstalled Zotero, both the Zotero addin and the OpenOffice link addin. Then I have restarted Firefox several times (and restarted the PC several times, then reinstalled Zotero 2.1 and the OpenOffice link addin. The result is the same.…
-
Ah, and now the error is back. I had closed down Open Office (leaving Firefox/Zotero open) then tried to select a different collection, and the error returned. I closed Firefox, opened Open Office writer, started firefox- still can't start Zotero wi…
-
This evening, Zotero suddenly started to work again. I clicked the Zotero icon on the Firefox status bar and Firefox froze for several minutes. I did some work in Open Office writer and eventually firefox unfroze, though Zotero didn't appear. I went…
-
Thanks Dan I can confirm that there are no read-only files in my entire zotero tree D:\Documents and Settings\Graham\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nqv335r6.default\zotero\ and every file is owned by my login. In what way could …
-
Dan, Every file in my Zotero translators directory is owned by RATA\Graham, which is my login. Same for every other file I checked in my Zotero directory D:\Documents and Settings\Graham\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nqv335r6.defaul…

Hi, I took the upgrade to 2.1.2 and still got the error; then, I disabled all Firefox addins other than Zotero, restarted and still got the error. Only now, the option on the gears menu to "Report errors" is greyed out. Debug ID is D1840…

Thanks Rusodepaso. Moving things to the root directory is not an option for people in any sort of "corporate" environment, including at a university with a standardised PC setup.
-
Thanks Adam. I've found the appropriate .js and begun to "fix" it- I have made Zotero recognise the Derwent pages and offer to parse them, and I'll see if I can get the parsing to work over the next few days.
-
adamsmith, I am facing the same problem as Kristian. Is it as simple as copying the ISI WoS translator and calling it something else? Forgive me but I haven't delved under Zotero's covers and if this is an easy fix, I would really appreciate a fa…
-
My mistake. Anyway, I vote for relative paths (and no drive letter). I use Zotero on Windows XP at home, Linux on a laptop and also on a wide range of Windows 7 machines at University. So far I effectively keep and use my PDFs only on the…

From the changelog: Changes in 1.0.0b3.r1 (January 8, 2007) * Imported attachments use relative paths for improved cross-platform compatibility I wonder what happened to that?
-
As far as I understand it, as of April 2010, that all that is missing from the Zotero/ Sciplore link is for Zotero to a) include path to attached files in the BibTex (export) file; and b) automatically maintain the BibTex (export) file when ref…
-
Thanks guys, you have all been most helpful and given me a better understanding of this. It looks like I need to change the way I write to match Zotero's default in-text style, because the alternatives are worse...
-
It just seems to defy logic that in order to get valid APA format I have to override Zotero's standard referencing and put author names in by hand. Isn't doing this correctly the reason to use Zotero? Others seem not to have this problem. Surel…

Thanks for the suggestion. It's really that hard?
