Server Error on start of siad.exe



  • Hi,
    I just tried to start up siad.exe and got this error:
    /home/luke/go/src/github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/modules/host/contractmanager/writeaheadlogsync.go:25 +0x9a
    Severe error: ERROR: unable to atomically copy the contract manager settings: rename host\contractmanager\contractmanage
    r.json_temp host\contractmanager\contractmanager.json: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by an
    other process.

    Any help?

    Thanks



  • There is already a siad instance running. kill the processes and start over. If you're not sure how to do that, try a reboot.



  • I had killed everything with sia in the name, but the lock was not released. In any case, a reboot seems to have released the file lock and I'm no longer getting the error. Thanks!!!
