Title: satoshi client won't start
Post by: thezerg on July 20, 2012, 01:48:48 PM
"A fatal error occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

EXCEPTION: 11DbException       
Db::get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found       
bitcoin in Runaway exception"


Looks like BDB is unhappy... any ideas?

I've had this a few times while distro-hopping, the only solution I've found is to shut down bitcoind, delete the .bitcoin folder, (backup your wallet first ofc), then restart bitcoind.

I've had this problem as well. Can't remember if I had the same error as you or not now. Remove ./bitcoin and start again fresh cures the problem.

Don't forget to backup wallet.dat before you remove it though.
