hi @td55 !! Welcome to our community :hugs: !!

It looks like there is already a VERBA_Config collection, but it shouldn’t try creating it again.

What is the Verba version you are running?

Thanks, using Github latest, also tried a clean install with pip3 - same result

Temp Fix:

Go to ‘goldenverba/components/managers.py:146’
Change ‘self.config_collection_name = “VERBA_CONFIG”’ to custom name

Instance attribute config_collection_name of goldenverba. components. managers. WeaviateManager config_collection_name: str = “VERBA_CONFIG”

That worked, thanks. Let me know if I can help with testing.

What could also work is removing all content from your local persistence path, if using local deployment
