Database Locked?

stangdaman · 2008-03-28, 11:57 AM

I'm trying to update my epg using the MCE2xml plugin but I'm getting an error in my logs that state that the database is locked. What is it that I need to do for that?

Either stop and restart the various GB-PVR processes or reboot.

I restarted and am still getting the error.

Set <LogSQL>true</LogSQL> in config.xml, then reboot and reproduce the problem, then zip and attach a complete set of logs.

Sorry Sub but do I just copy

Quote:<LogSQL>true</LogSQL>

anywhere into the config.xml? How do I do that? Sorry again just need it spelled out a little more. Thanks.

Search the file for LogSQL & change the value from false to true

Thanks that seems to have taken care of it.

It shouldnt of fixed anything. That setting just causes it to add more messages to the log files.

I don't know. Maybe it was just the third or fourth (whatever it was) time of restarting that finally did something. All I know is I did what you said and when I tried to recreate the error by reloading the epg it actually loaded and I didn't get the error. Wish I could tell you more but I don't really know why. Do you want me to look and see if I have a log for it anyway so you can have a look.

Leave that <LogSQL>true</LogSQL> setting in place for now, and if it happens again in near future, then post the logs.
