Kong crashes on start (MDB_CORRUPTED)

Q: I receive the following error when starting Kong:

2022/04/11 12:01:07 [crit] 32790#0: *7 [lua] init.lua:648: init_worker(): worker initialization error: failed to create and open LMDB database: MDB_CORRUPTED: Located page was wrong type; this node must be restarted, context: init_worker_by_lua*

A: Your local configuration cache is corrupt. Remove your LMDB cache (located at <prefix>/dbless.lmdb, which is located at /usr/local/kong/dbless.lmdb by default) and restart Kong Gateway. This forces the Kong Gateway node to reload the configuration from the control plane because the corrupted cache was deleted.


Thank you for your feedback.
