Error: Artisan is Already Running

If an error like the one on the images below appears while opening Artisan POS, read the messages as they usually let you know what the problem may be.

These error messages are usually displayed when there is an instance of Artisan POS already running. Another copy is not allowed unless you are connecting to different databases or have a machine override to make it look as another station.

Error Message 1: Miscellaneous exception while opening database. (Another copy of Artisan is already running on this computer)

Error Message 2: No such database. PostgreSQL database…( the rest may vary)

Solution

Just close the window with the error message and look for the Artisan application that is already running.
