KeePassX file won't open - Says "Wrong Signature"

KeePassX file won't open - Says "Wrong Signature"

Postby glennroid » 25 Sep 2008, 20:16

I added a whole bunch of passwords to my database file under OSX 10.5. When trying to open the file on Windows XP I get the messgage: "The following error occured whilt opening the database: Wrong Signature" :(

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix or is this not truly a cross platform product.

Thanks.

Wrong signature

same problem here but the other way around (creaded my database in windows, can't open it on mac)

tried to open the database "database.kdbx" with "database.key" and I get the error message:

"the following error occured while opening the database: Wrong signature"

I've tried with v. 0.3.2 and 0.3.4

would be fantastic if I could get this to work.

I was having the exact same problem as patricktaschler (PC to Mac). I ended up fixing it by saving as KeePass KBD (1.x) on the PC, copying that db to my Mac, then File>Open Database with KeePassX on my Mac. Hope it works for others.

I went to Keepass I had the same problem as the two directly above.

Solution for me was not to save the file differently, but to export it to the .kdb file extension. (File>Export...)
