My Welcome Station software in to registered and is showing a SQL error.
Welcome Station Registration Failure Resolution
If Welcome Station is set to talk to a database server other than localhost and is then upgraded to a version that requires registration, you may receive database connection errors when clicking the Register button.
To resolve this:
1. Close Welcome Station
2. Open c:\program files(x86)\OptionPower\Welcome Station\settings.json with a text editor
3. At the beginning of the file, change the IP address after “DatabaseServer” to read “localhost”
a. NOTE: only change the text inside the quotes. Changing anything else will likely break the json file!
4. Open Welcome Station
5. You should now be able to register the program (assuming you have an internet connection)
Example:
Change this:
{"DatabaseServer":"10.1.1.140","DynamicParticipantsAllowed":true,"ActivationAllowed":false,"ConnectionTestInterval":60000,"ExportFolder":"C:\\Users\\Owner\\Documents","ParticipantEntryMethod":0,"ScanIdMessage":"Please type a voter last name","InactiveVoterMessage":"This Voter is not active in the system","DefaultStartField":1,"ParticipantImportSeparator":"|","ParticipantImportFields":"participantId,firstName,lastName,address,party,precinct,weight,active"}
To This:
{"DatabaseServer":"localhost","DynamicParticipantsAllowed":true,"ActivationAllowed":false,"ConnectionTestInterval":60000,"ExportFolder":"C:\\Users\\Owner\\Documents","ParticipantEntryMethod":0,"ScanIdMessage":"Please type a voter last name","InactiveVoterMessage":"This Voter is not active in the system","DefaultStartField":1,"ParticipantImportSeparator":"|","ParticipantImportFields":"participantId,firstName,lastName,address,party,precinct,weight,active"}
