[Refdb-users] main database is too old or corrupt

[<J.I...@uv...>]

Hi.

My name is Ignasi. I am new here. I'd like to be a new user of refdb. I
have installed it in my box. The OS is Ubuntu 6.0.6., and the database
engine will be sqlite. The "main database is too old or corrupt" error
appears each time I type "viewstat" (or any other command) in the refdba
prompt. I know you have been discussing about that error, and it seems
that Dan O'Donell could solve the problem by changing the default
database and user name in the config files. It didn'n work for me. I'm
sorry to ask for help about that error again. I would be grateful if
someone could help me. I'm not skilled in programming, and I have no
idea where the problem can be. Anyway, here you are some details about
the installation process I followed:

- I got libdbi0, libdbi-dev and libdbi-sqlite (sqlite drivers for
libdbi) packages with the "synaptic" package manager, and I built from
sources all other libraries and perl modules.

- I used the following configuration options: ./configure
--with-docbook-xsl=3D/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh
--with-tei-xsl=3D/usr/local/lib/sgml/stylesheet/xsl
--with-db-server=3Dsqlite --with-refdb-url=3Dfile:///refdb

- As I don't know which directory should contain the HTML files, I
specified that simple URL direction (file:///refdb), that my browser may
understand. I'm not sure if it is correct.

- I made a copy of each example configuration file in the default
directory and I customized them.

- I created the database successfully and run refdbd and refdba without
problems. And then the error appeared.

Thank you very much.=20
