Error message-database is locked (5,5)

Post by MuAg91 »

I'm running MM 3.1.1.126 on an XP machine. My media is on a NAS HD. MM will play for a while and then freezes after a while giving me this error message.

Could not retrieve data "select songs.id from where songs.id=? and (songs.track type=1)" :database is locked (5,5).

I know there is some puctuation differences and probably some spacing issues in that message. I'm just not sure where to start.

Thanks

I'd start by looking at security or backup software locking the database file.

And be sure that you have latest MM 3.2.4.1304.

Have latest MM. Problems started before I upgraded a couple of weeks ago.

Will get a hold of a friend to check into security and/or backup as I don't know where to start.

For those who say to look at Backup, below is the Backup portion from my MM.ini file. Does this look right? If I have MM on an external hard drive, can I change the EDir to the R drive? Seems weird to have everything but Extensions on R drive.

I'm having the same problem rrfpacker (on a NAS). Let me know if you've resolved yours, as I'm ready to jump ship here pretty soon.

I haven't had the "Database locked" error message in a while, but I've uninstalled Backup. I install Backup every couple of weeks or so, backup and then uninstall.

I've left posts in the Backup thread, too, without success. Maybe MM4 will clean things up.
