Print Page - [SOLVED] Getting DB::Open Exception when attempting to run Bitcoin on OSX

I upgraded to OSX Lion yesterday but had to rollback my OS because too many applications were broken.

Upon finishing the rollback and attempting to launch bitcoin, I get the following errors:
- Bitcoin
EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::open: Invalid Argument
bitcoin in AppInit()

And
- Bitcoin
EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::open Invalid argument
bitcion in CMyApp::OnUnhandledException()

Those are both pop-up windows.
My ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin folder is as follows:

Code:

ironcross:Bitcoin sk$ ls -al
total 1210960

Any ideas what could be wrong? I'm thinking the backup version I rolled back was created while bitcoin was running and thus saved the wallet.dat in a bad state? I use time capsule + time machine for automated backups...?

I fixed this by:

* Copy my /Bitcoin directory to Bitcoin-bak
* Restart the latest version of Bitcoin (this will create the ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin directory)
* Closed Bitcoin process
* Copied my wallet.dat from Bitcoin-bak/ to Bitcoin
* Started bitcoin process
-- Had to download blocks first but then all the confirmations started coming in for my transactions any my balance is slowly going back to its original state.
