Troubleshooting - FAQs
1. What can I do if I find read/write issues using Zoho Databridge?
You can go to the databridge package installed location in the terminal, and enter the command "StartServer.sh" with administrator permissions to read/write data.
For a permanent solution, you can install D
atabridge within the user directory. The reason is, if you are not the administrator of your machine, you will not have permission to read or write files if you have installed Zoho Databridge in the program files directory. Only an administrator can edit files in the program files directory. So you can install Zoho Databridge in the user directory where you will have access to read or write files using Zoho Databridge seamlessly.
2. My Databridge doesn't seem to work. How can I reinstall Zoho Databridge?
If you have installed Zoho Databridge earlier on the same machine, make sure to uninstall it completely and delete the existing version. You can then proceed with installing the newly downloaded Databridge package.
