Cannot create new task


It seems no matter what I do inc rolling back version or upgrading to the latest resolves this. Any ideas what is stopping a new task from being created?

Welcome, David!

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble creating new tasks.

Are you able to try deleting the tasks.json file by using the Tools → Reset Processing Queue menu item on the latest version of WebODM for Windows (native)?

Thanks. Yes that was the first thing I tried. It is the windows native version

On running now I am getting these errors

And the log shows stalling at postgres authentication and timing out

Are you able to uninstall it, and then manually delete the entire C:\WebODM directory and any contents that may be left-over, and then re-install from the latest installer?

Complete fresh install now
Originally I installed it on a different partition (E). Wondering if the update process changed that and left some references to the wrong place. A different problem now I suspect.

Still won’t run. App log:
“Attempt 9 failed, retrying…”
“Trying to connect to postgres localhost:29543…”
“C:\WebODM\resources\app\apps\pgsql/bin/psql: psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly\r\n\tThis probably means the server terminated abnormally\r\n\tbefore or while processing the request.\r\n”
“C:\WebODM\resources\app\apps\pgsql/bin/psql: exited with code 2”
“C:\WebODM\resources\app\apps\pgsql/bin/psql: psql: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode\r\n”
“C:\WebODM\resources\app\apps\pgsql/bin/psql: exited with code 2”
{}

pgsql log:
FATAL: relation mapping file “global/pg_filenode.map” contains invalid data
LOG: autovacuum launcher process (PID 14800) exited with exit code 1
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing

Do you have the Docker version installed still? Do you have any other PostgreSQL server instances running on that machine?

No other PostgreSQL that I can see. I have also removed the Docker version

Are you using an antivirus product other than Windows Defender?

Is this a personal or managed device?

Avira. I have disabled it with no joy. Also white listed postgres and webodm in that and Defender.
It isn’t a managed device

Hmm… Can’t think of what would block it at this point. Do you know how to do an In-place upgrade or repair install
