Hello. I have been using Autopsy for months on the same case. Recently, I am unable to open up my case. It gives me an error that reads: Could not close case resources for Solr Keyword Search Service service: java.lang.NullPointerException I am running as a single user and everything is running on the same PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---

You are going to need to provide more information for people to be able to possibly provide help. There should be more information about the NullPointerException in the autopsy.log files in %APPDATA%\autopsy\var\log (assuming you are running on Windows) and in your case output folder under “Log”. ---

Is there anything else in the log? At the point where this NPE happens, it seems like something has already gone wrong in opening the case and that’s why we’re trying to close the case resources. ---

Have you recently upgraded Autopsy? We recently found a bug when upgrading older case databases. ---

The error first occurred with version 4.11. I upgraded to version 4.13 hoping it would fix the problem. It unfortunately did not. ---

Ok so it sounds like you were using 4.11 and it was working fine on your case until one day you couldn’t open your case anymore, so you tried upgrading to 4.13. Unfortunately it’s never going to work in 4.13 due to a bug in the upgrade code (though I’m not sure if that’s the error we’re looking at in your logs). 4.14 will be out soon so you could wait and try again with that. You could also run in 4.11 again and see what the errors look like in the logs when you try to open a case. ---

Your problem appears to be that the Autopsy SQLite database is corrupt so I doubt that any version of Autopsy will open it. > [@DarkJodo](#): > > [SQLITE\_CORRUPT] The database disk image is malformed (database disk image is malformed) Depending on your level of technical expertise you could use sqlite3 (or some other SQLite client) and run PRAGMA integrity\_check; on the database to see if it can provide more detail. A web search for “database disk image is malformed” will provide more information on this issue. ---
