How to fix "Error establishing a database connection" after jailbreaking iPhone 4S / iPad 2 5.0.1 untethered using Absinthe Greenppois0n. This problem appears to some users when they trying to open Absinthe app to get the Cydia icon. They got this message "error establishing a database connection". If you got this error, don't worry, we have a simple fix for that. Check it out after the jump.


How to fix error establishing a database connection on iPhone 4S / iPad 2 when jailbreaking 5.0.1 using Absinthe Greenpois0n :

1- Please go to Settings, turn on VPN and wait instead.
  • Toggle VPN only AFTER Absinthe says it’s done, or it will not work.
  • VPN SHOULD error and then reboot soon. If it does not, rerun Absinthe!
2- If you get a strange problem, we advise you to restore your iPhone with iTunes, if you can (i.e. if you’re not on 5.0 waiting for an eventual 4S unlock).

That's it. Try it and let us know if this fix work with you or not.

"VPN configuration error occured"

fgafhzdnzvcnjnxfvnxvcnxn nx said...

Didn't work i got "A Configuration Error Occurred" when I turn VPN on:(

Daniel said...

I have just re-jailbroke so I will let you know if this helps me. (16gb white AT&T 5.0.1 4s)

how ever, the VPN on either freezes for a moment and then goes back to off and lets me continue using my phone, OR restarts / reboots.

the jailbreak works great to install the Absinthe icon, but the "error establishing a database connection" is all I get from the Absinthe icon.

VPN to ON didn't work for me.

not turning on! "A configuration error occured"

Daniel said...

After I ran and installed the Absinthe app twice, I opened the installed icon. There is no longer text that reads and error with connection, but instead no text at all, just a white screen.

HOWEVER, I then swiped on VPN, phone restarted, and to my serious surprise, HIYA CYDIA I MISSED YOU! :)

thank you guys! I called out of work this morning cause I am sick as heck, I thought Skyrim was the highlight of my day, you made this amazing

This is with wifi on/off.

Got the database error listed above, and tried to enable VPN, but it gave me a "configuration error" message, and wouldn't join it. For what it's worth, I had a university security certificate/profile installed, so I'm not sure if that was causing a conflict. Removed the profile leaving only the jailbreak VPN setting pointing at localhost, but still got the error.

Restoring IOS 5.0.1 and starting from scratch. Will keep you posted.

P.S. iPad 2 for the record

Hi.

What do i do?

Finally got it to work. Had to delete an existing vpn and just leave the jailbreak vpn. Then delete the absinthe app off of the iPad. Ran it again from my computer to install it and then turn on the vpn (got an error) but then I clicked on the absinthe app on the iPad and voila cydia appears. Took me a while to get it, but no more white screen now.

I have been following your instructions, but cannot jailbreak. After "Error establishing a database connection" message I went to Network and tried to avtivate VPN. There is an error when trying to configure VPN connection. Message: VPN Connection "A configuration error occured".
My Ipad is wifi only 64 gb. Version OS 5.01(9A405).
Can you help me?

Artric said...

Fix isn't working... still getting database error. Have rebooted multiple times. Suggestions?

This worked for me also. when you I went into the vpn you have to delete or turn of the custom jailbreak and then turn on vpn. then you'll get the error message. Hit ok and the ipad 2 will restart an cydia will be on the homescreen
