There was a problem with the database connection

Lino tells me that “There was a problem with the database connection. If the error persists, try reloading your browser.”

What does that mean?

  • Just hit Shift+Ctrl+R and try again. Lino might ask you to re-enter your username and password. This is usual e.g. after maintenance operations on the server.

    See xkcd for more options.

  • Check the address field of your browser. This should show the URL where your Lino is installed, i.e. something like http://lino:8080 or https://lino.example.com. If it isn’t, click the Home menu button of the Lino main menu.
