Troubleshooting

#1 Sockso gives an "out of memory" error

This is caused by the database running out of memory when doing a query, and can happen if you have a very big collection. To resolve this you will need to:

  1. Make sure Sockso isn't running, then go to "$HOME/.sockso" and back up the files in there.
  2. Open "database.script" in a text editor and change all occurances of "CREATE MEMORY TABLE" to "CREATE CACHED TABLE".
  3. Start Sockso again.

You could see a performance impact (the reason it isn't like this by default).

#2 Still getting "out of memory" error...

If you have a very big collection and using cached tables (#1) doesn't help then you have the option of using MySQL as a backend, which should give you all the performance you need.

#3 No system tray icon on 64bit Windows

On 64bit windows systems you'll need to copy lib/std/systray4j-64bit.dll to lib/std/systray4j.dll.

    Previous post accidentially posted before I was finished. For 64bit systray problem, I don't understand what you mean by "copy lib/std/systray4j-64bit.dll to lib/std/systray4j.dll". Do you mean overwrite the "systray4j.dll" that exists in the lib/std folder of sockso with the "systray4j-64bit.dll" file? I tried that and I still end up with java systray.
