General error: 11 database disk image is malformed

Hello,

During XMas time but probably during the last 48 hours, something happened.
I didn't do anything specific on the server itself (OVH hosting)
I've got up to 3 computer synchronizing as well as an Android phone. I've noticed today that I can't connect any more, and I got this error in my log, several time

General error: 11 database disk image is malformed

Complete error looks like:

Any help appreciate as there is nothing to undo and I've got no clue where to start...

Thanks.

Other than google the problem I can't be of more help link

There is a post in the old forums pointing to https://techblog.dorogin.com/sqliteexception-database-disk-image-is-malformed-77e59d547c50 that might also help

Note that I'm not sure if that will solve the problem or cause a bigger problem, so make sure you can at least restore to the current state.

Hi,
Thanks for the tips. Google is not really helping, at least with my understanding...

What I already did:
Try to restore database from the week before (thanks to OVH), with no effect

I went in PHP My admin and add a look at all table, but they all seems OK (no SQL error while trying to look at them)

Database: MySQL 5.5, oc tables are of type InnoDB, other applications in the same database (other tables of course) are working fine.

Any clue is welcome :-/

Can you tell us about what software versions you're running? Also, the error seems to refer to SQLite, but am I right in thinking that you're running MySQL 5.5? What about the system logs (/var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog)?

Based on the error trace I assume you're connecting to a corrupted sqlite3 database, or maybe to a sqlite with a sqlite3 client.

Check your owncloud's configuration about this.

I have had the same problem (but with nextcloud), also in shared host with OVH.

The following fixed my problem:

  • Download the nextcloud/data/owncloud.db file to your PC (make two copies of this file just in case and keep one in a safe place).
  • Dump the file to a backup file
    sqlite3 owncloud.db .dump > nextcloud-sqlbkp_date +"%Y%m%d".bak
  • Erase the owncloud.db file
    rm owncloud.db
  • Dump the backuped file to a new owncloud.db file
    sqlite3 owncloud.db < nextcloud-sqlbkp.bak
  • Upload this restored file to your hosting.

This worked for me, hope that it helps.

Hi All,

Thanks for the help, it appears that :slight_smile:
1-I should be more organized in my private stough and note what I do
2-This instance of owncloud is based on sqlite as jvillafanez suggested, and I checked the older owncloud tables from an old old instance that I'm not running anymore
3- That Lareamikel saved the day for me as I did what he suggested and now, back online!

So again thanks to all of you, and specially to larreamikel !

uhm... It seems that this is a temporal solution. I have the same problem again. So, make a backup while it's up. :wink:

Note that ownCloud recommend to use mysql / mariaDB or postgresql instead of sqlite3. sqlite3 is fine for small instances with low load but once the load grows it starts to be problematic.
