I am running Sonarr on my Mac, I have done so for about a year with no issues. I went on a short vacation and came back today and the app wasn’t running. I tried opening it again and no luck. I then opened the “activity monitor” thinking it might be frozen, but it was nowhere to be found. I did notice when I open the app from the app drawer, it shows up in the activity monitor for about 10 seconds then crashes.
How can I fix this? Preferably without losing all of my settings…
You’ll need to check your log files to see why Sonarr isn’t starting, it would also be worth looking at recent posts on these forums for the solutions that others have found.
There is the bottom part of my log file, hopefully that has the info need to diagnose the problem. Thanks!!
Your database is corrupt, you will need to restore from a backup (which Sonarr takes automatically).
@markus101 i see a lot of “database corrupt” issues on Mac and I’m afraid for my installation. Is there anything i can do to minimize the chance of getting my database file corrupt?
Also if we restore lets say a friday database backup and sonarr had downloaded episodes on saturday, will sonarr re-download those or this is a setting database ?
Sudden power loss or termination can do it, but there may be other causes as its an issue with the file system and SQLite (the file system says its done something but it really hasn’t).
It won’t redownload anything if the file is still on disk, Sonarr will just pick it up during a rescan.
ok i see, thanks for the info
Just an update: Everything is fixed
Backed up: /users/<USER>/.config/NZBdrone/Backups
Deleted: /Users/<USER>/.config/NZBdrone/ as well as the Sonarr app from app store
Reinstalled Sonarr and ran it once then closed the program
Extracted the latest .zip from /Backups/ and moved the 2 files to /users/<USER>/.config/NZBdrone/
Restarted the program
All appears to be working as it should, hope this helps someone else.
