61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Database error: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery on: April 01, 2011, 04:55:36 PM
I get the following scary message in my log:

************************
EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException       
DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery       
bitcoin in AppInit()


I already tried db4.7_dump <the only file existing in the .bitconf/database directory, but I got a format error there.

Solution?



Let me guess, you are running the version of bitcoin that came in the office debian repo?  That version is build with db_4.8 where are the version from the www.bitcoin.org is build with db_4.7.  The database formats are not compatible.  Just delete all the files in the data folder execpt for wallet.dat and it should run, but your client will have to download the whole block chain again.
