The PostgreSQL server is either not running, on a different network (VPN/office network required?), or blocking your IP. **Check:** Can you ping `172.16.0.119` from your terminal? ```cmd ping 172.16.0.119 ``` If it doesn't respond, you're not on the right network. This is a network/PostgreSQL server issue, not a Superset issue. **Issue 2: "A database with the same name already exists"** You said you deleted it from DB Browser, but the error persists. This could mean DB Browser was still open when Superset was running and re-locked the file before your delete was saved, or Superset is pointing to a **different** `.db` file than the one you edited. **Fix:** 1. Stop Superset completely 2. Open DB Browser → open your `.db` file → go to the `dbs` table → confirm the rows for your databases are actually gone 3. If they're still there, delete them now and click **Write Changes** 4. Close DB Browser completely 5. Restart Superset **Issue 3: "sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked"** SQLite doesn't handle multiple concurrent writers well. This error means DB Browser was open at the same time as Superset, locking the file. **Never have both open simultaneously.** Always stop Superset before using DB Browser, and close DB Browser before starting Superset. **In summary — do this in order:** 1. Stop Superset 2. Open DB Browser, delete the duplicate database rows from the `dbs` table, save, close DB Browser 3. Fix your network so `172.16.0.119:5432` is reachable 4. Start Superset, then re-add the database connections Let me know which step you're stuck on! <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
