Hello James, thanks for this little trick.
I will put this in the toolbox.
As it turned out I suspect because of the all-new upgrade to 2.6.2 I
also got a new default username in the properties file.
I tried the default password and it let me in.
I of course was able to recreate my old usename and the exported .zip
restored all of my old entries after one year just as if I had never
gone offline.
Thanks to the Pebble community!
BTW: I now have an unusual issue with this error:
***************************************************************
Error while starting e-mail subscription listener - add mail.jar and
activation.jar to the server classpath if you want to enable this
listener.
***************************************************************
I ran a find on the Tomcat directory at (dot) . and this is what was
returned:
***************************************************************
./webapps/WEB-INF/lib/activation.jar
./webapps/WEB-INF/lib/mail.jar
***************************************************************
Please advise, David.
