Fatal error, The Metabase server terminated unexpectedly

Bug reports
1

Hi there,

I know this issue has been addressed before but nothing since dec'17 so I open a new bug report about it.
I have been unable to use launch Metabase (mac app) since this morning. I tried with the latest update (0.31) and the previous one, same result. I am on macOS Mojave v10.14.1.

I cannot copy & paste the entire error message but here is the beginning of it:

> The Metabase server terminated unexpectedly.

Thank for your help

Could you already have a copy running? Try a reboot to see if that clears the connection being in use.

Thank you Andrew, it actually worked!

“Keep It Simple, stupid” even for bugs… I guess :wink: I uninstalled and looked for complex reasons before trying such an easy thing. So sorry!

That was the bit that gave the game away. My French is dreadful, but just about good enough for that!
