WebCSD fails to browse or search an inhouse database with an "entry does not exist" error

Solution

Note: The following information applies only to WebCSD version 1 (legacy WebCSD).

This error can sometimes occur if an in-house database has been created that contains more than one "." in the filename, for example "my_database_v1.2.sqlite".

 

The solution is to stop the WebCSD server, rename the file to contain only a "." before the sqlite extension (e.g. "my_database_v1_2.sqlite"​) and then restart the server. You should now be able to browse entries normally.
