I successfully installed collect earth in my laptop and when i click it to start, there is a error message which reads "Collect Earth could not start due to DB connection issue".

I need your help

Sorry for the delay but the message was tagged "collect" and "earth", not "collectEarth", and I missed it.

Please have a look at this reply while a fix is implemented.

Basically:

  • dig manually to the file C:\Users\marchi\AppData\Roaming\CollectEarth\earth.properties
  • open it with a text editor
  • change the line "db_driver=POSTGRESQL" to "db_driver=SQLITE"
  • save the file

Thanks,

Giulio

Hi There,

Collect Earth failed to open, exactly as described above since yesterday. I did move one file into different folder last week but it was not the application file. Since this morning I start to get this message. alt text tried to reinstall but, first it won't download fully in my PC. So downloaded into USB using a different computer. And transferred for installation. Installs without problem, but still not starting. Just the log window pops up for few seconds and nothing happens alt text

Help appreciated. Tesfay

Markdown text. Shortcuts: Ctrl+B bold, Ctrl+I italic, Ctrl+K link, Ctrl+E code, Ctrl+Shift+V paste as plain text. Tab indents list items and code; press Escape, then Tab, to leave the text box.
