Subsonic Forum

My Subsonic install suddenly stopped working with this error:

I tried uninstalling both subsonic and Tomcat, but I get the same issues. I also tried using the Windows standalone installer, again with the same results. Could this be due to a new Java version.

Thanks,

I haven't seen this before. Looks like the database is corrupt. It's located in c:\subsonic\db, and is a HSQL database.

If you are technically inclined you might wanna head to http://hsqldb.org/ and see if there are some database recovery tools. Otherwise, you can delete the entire c:\subsonic\db directory, and let it be re-created by Subsonic. You will of course loose all your data (users, statistics, config etc).

Thanks Sindre. That did the trick. I simply deleted the C:\subsonic directory and let it genereate the database. I lost my settings, but those are easy to set up again. Thanks for your help.
