Cannot log in on local browser. Getting Error 503 #27

From popeen/Popeens-DSub#49

This is what comes up when trying to access on web now:

HTTP ERROR: 503

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE RequestURI=/

Powered by jetty://

It has been working fine for a while now, but this just started in the past week or two. Tried going from v1.0 to beta 1.1 and still the same error.

Any ideas? Thanks

It sound like your database has gone corrupt, this can happen if the server is not shut down properly. Unless you have a backup I'm afraid there is not much that can be done for restoring your current config/users.

However it should be easy to get the server to work again, just a bit time consuming to configure it a second time. What you do is this:

  1. Stop the server
  2. Go to c:\ and rename booksonic to booksonic.old (or delete it)
  3. Start the server

It should now work fine but it will look as after you first installed it. Once you have it configured it could be a good idea to make a backup of the booksonic folder that you can use to restore the server if the same thing should happen in the future.
