Error messages when downloading headers

Postby Calahan » Sat Nov 26, 2022 10:43 am

Hello,

the following error messages are shown in the Logging tab when downloading headers for groups:

ERROR Downloader: Command Exception NEWS SERVER ERROR: ...servername... Illegal Group state Record ID's invalid: ...groupname... ...servername...
ERROR ReadFullDatabase: Invalid packet Format: Storage.db3
ERROR ReadFullDatabase: Invalid packet length: Storage.db3

For the last two error messages, no groupname is shown, so I don't know which group is maybe incomplete/is missing headers.

I'm using Newsbin Pro 6.90 - Build: 5524.
Any help would be appreciated :)

All the best,
Calahan

The first error suggests the group is empty or there's something wrong with what the server is returning.

The second error, suggests a corrupt database.

I'd probably turn on "Debug" level logging and then "Show Server Commands" in the network options. Then manually try updating a couple groups at a time.
You ought to be able to home on on what group is giving the error that way.

You could then look at the logging when you try to update the bad group to see if any errors show up.
