Hi
I've been building a scraper but today about 1 o'clock I got this message when running it.

sqliteexecute: sqlite3.Error: database disk image is malformed

How do I continue from this, as every time I run the scraper it throws this error

Thanks

Darrell

Which scraper is it?

I'll take a look and do an SQLite recovery on it.

Might it have been broken for quite a while? There was a problem with
our database server, that led to corruption of some databases a month
or so ago.

Most active ones have been recovered now, it's possible there's one
that's been missed.

Hi
I got round the problem by creating a new scraper and copying the code into it. 
Incidentally the second scraper I did also suffered from the Malformed disk image problem. So far the third one is holding up OK

Thanks Darrell!

Just to say, that we're putting all our development attention into
https://beta.scraperwiki.com/ now.

We're still keeping ScraperWiki Classic running, but won't be doing
any *root cause* investigations and improvements to it.

Let me know if you do have any more problems!
