Title: Wallet.dat Post by: couchinator on May 17, 2011, 02:07:06 AM So I reinstalled Windows the other day and transferred my wallet.dat file from my old install to my new one. I placed it into the AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin directory and now Bitcoin crashes when I try to start it up. There are no other files in the folder, although new copies of the rest of the files are generated when I start Bitcoin. I don't see how anything could have happened to the file. There seem to be many other people with a similar problem but I haven't found any answers. I can't figure out how to use the Berkeley DB tools to get the file fixed. Does anyone have any insight as to why the file might just stop working?
Thanks Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: Ian Maxwell on May 17, 2011, 03:13:59 AM Try running with the -rescan flag. From the command prompt, in the directory containing Bitcoin, run "bitcoin.exe -rescan"

Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: theymos on May 17, 2011, 03:57:20 AM Does debug.log say anything about it?
Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: couchinator on May 17, 2011, 04:14:48 AM Nope.
Bound to port 8333 Loading addresses... dbenv.open strLogDir=C:\Users\Couchinator\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin/database strErrorFile=C:\Users\Couchinator\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin/db.log Loaded 19166 addresses addresses 200ms Loading block index...

It's very annoying to have BTC in the file somewhere but I just can't get to it :P Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: theymos on May 17, 2011, 04:16:39 AM Does Bitcoin actually die, or does it just hang?
Did you change Bitcoin versions? Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: couchinator on May 17, 2011, 05:13:02 AM It dies. I have tried the new version as well as the older version (0.3.20.2) that the file was created with. No dice.
Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: zrataj on May 17, 2011, 01:04:45 PM Did you reinstall from 64 bit to 32 bit or 32 to 64 bit?
Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: couchinator on May 17, 2011, 01:58:55 PM Both installs were 64.
Title: Re: Wallet.dat Post by: couchinator on May 17, 2011, 04:58:03 PM Alright, I have read elsewhere that Bitcointools can help, so I tried that as well.
./dbdump.py --wallet (stack trace) 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- PANIC: Invalid argument' Also not helpful. |
