Marketcircle KB .: Daylite 3.x .: Troubleshooting .: I cannot create or connect to a database, I get the spinning wheel.

I cannot create or connect to a database, I get the spinning wheel.

There are several possible culprits:
  1. You've set the databases to be shared, but the IP address of your computer has changed (when serving databases, you should use a static IP address or fully resolved domain name like myserver.mycompany.com). If your desire is not to share, then go the Preferences -> Access Configuration and set it to 'Not Shared'. If that preferences does not work for you, watch this movie and instead of checking 'Allow Network Access', please uncheck it.
  2. The database processes have not started. Database processes are started at boot time and following file is responsible for the startup: Hard Drive -> Library -> StartupItems -> OpenBase -> OpenBase. If that file is not there, please reinstall DayLite completely (not need to delete or uninstall anything).
  3. A special configuration file is missing. You should have file called localhost in Hard Drive -> Library -> OpenBase -> Config. If that file is not there, you can use a plain text editor to create it with the following content:
localhost
127.0.0.1

Once you've created this file, restart the computer.
