That warning file says a lot of warnings, which tells me that the database is not feeling very well.

You can turn back Verbose to 0 now.
What does the “non warning file say at the beginning”?

I recommend that you do the following:

First try the Migrate Old ContentDB (could be that you have an older version of the database)
Then, look at the of the files in Databases, ContentDB.dat & ContentDB.ind

Then do a ContentDB Reset, see attached screenshot. Now the sizes should be close to none.
Now do a reimport metadata.
Did they grow? Do Smart content work now?

Right.  I’ll try to sort that out.

Looks like I’m not the only one haveing the exact same problem though:

I’ll try and get you that new screen grab in a minute.  Those warning only just started though.  Earlier tonight things were OK

Heres the screen grab of the last good Vlog.  The vlog before that was good and was the one that was large showing lots of content.  And theres been 3 warning vlogs since

Now I’m off to try some of that other stuff you suggested,

Thanks

I did the migrate the old Database.  But I don’t follow your meaning in this line

“Then, look at the of the files in Databases, ContentDB.dat & ContentDB.ind”

Not sure what you want me too look at.

File sizes.

OK, I just completely wiped my DS 4.5 install on one machine. Installed with all default installations. Installed content, and checked smart content, it’s working.
So now we need to figure out why it’s not working on your end. This was on Mac OS X 10.8.2.

Are you ready for some hard core trouble shooting in the terminal?

I had to shorten the lines to almost fit in the forum
To see which DAZ processes was running and exactly where they are running from.

Next, when I have DS 4.5 running.

To check of we have a connection established between DS4.5 and the CMS. The CMS is listening on Port 27997.

So, what do you get?

Would it be advantageous for me to upgrade my system software to the 10.8?  I’ve just been putting it off But that would take some time for the downloads.

I have terminal opened.  Do you want me to put that first line in.  That you posted in blue?

I’m downloading the system update to 10.8.2.  At this moment.  Its going to take 3.25 hours, though its jumping all over the place.

I don’t think 10.8 will do anything, 10.7.5 and 10.8 have the same security features that can be a problem, not saying they are.

First command is:

Second command is:

OK.  Did that.  A rather long series of lines appeared after that.  Doesn’t mean anything to me.  Now what?

For the

, look for an entry saying:

If you cant find that, it means DS cannot connect to the CMS Server, then we can try to figure out why.

No.  I don’t see that anywhere in the list.  Uhhh.  Just thinking.  Should I have had Daz open when I did that?  It wasn’t.

Well.  Tried that second command with Daz open.  Pretty much same results

Then we can nail it down to DS cant communicate with the CMS.

When you did the first command, did you get the result I showed you in my post? Do you see both CMS and DS running?

I think so.  Heres a screen grab of what I got.

If you give the commando

in the teminal, does it look like below:

Or do you get something like “connection refused” or “cannot establish connection?

If you can connect, press CTRL+C to terminate the connection.
