My knots node is stuck on loop and wont start. Heres the error line in the logs.

I tried saving dependencies without changing anything. I tried stopping dependencies. I tried deleting transaction index. I tried restarting the system. I tried a system rebuild. Nothing has worked.

Hi Bitcoinisup,

I see the error msg suggests reindexing but you didn’t mention trying that. What happens when you click under Actions->Reindex Blockchain?

It appears to be working now. It says reindexing blockchain and may take several days. LOL
