Corrupt start pointers in KDBF

Post by mmayer »

Our server crashed during a walk. Now I get the following error-message:
000 Corrupt start pointers in KDBF file /path/to/database/html.blb

Is necessary to rebuild the database from scratch or is there a way to correct the problem otherwise?

Regards,

If you have a full Texis distribution you can use kdbfchk to fix the corruption. If not, you will have to rebuild.

I had the same problem but I thought that the "kdbfchk" command only checked the file to see if there was a problem. I did not know it would fix the file. I thought that you needed to use "copydbf" command to make the fix.
