FeedZcollector Support

The grabber won’t start. What’s wrong?

(After starting the icon on the system tray immediately turns red again)

Probably the database is unreachable or corrupt. Check the following:
- Is the value of the ‘Database’-key correct? (‘Access’ for MS Access database. ‘MySQL’ for MySQL database)
- Is the value of the ‘Connectionstring’-key correct?

For MS Access users
- Is the MS Access database ‘read only’?
- Is the user/password combination in the connectionstring correct?
- Is path to the MDB file in the connectionstring correct?
- Does the MS Access database use a workgroup file? If yes, this may bring some extra issues!
- Is MS Access 2000+ installed on the machine? FeedZcollector only supports clients that have MS Access 2000 (or up) installed.

For MySQL users
- Is the user/password combination in the connectionstring correct
- Does the user have enough privileges? (It needs INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and SELECT privileges on the ‘Feeds’, ‘Items’ and ‘Enclosures’ tables
- Is the MySQL database reachable?
- Can the host be resolved?
- Does the service connect to a MySQL 4.0 (or up) database? FeedZcollector only supports clients that have MySQL 2000 (or up)
