# c-lightning - Failed to replicate query: database disk image is malformed

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-02-11)

When I start up lightningd with `sudo systemctl start lightningd`, no error is returned.

When I run `sudo journalctl -f -u lightningd`, I get this:

```
$ sudo journalctl -f -u lightningd

```

Lightning daemon isn't running:

```
$ lightning-cli getinfo
lightning-cli: Connecting to 'lightning-rpc': Connection refused

```

Do you know what's the fault?

Looks like your database is malformed and it has some corrupted data inside the database, it is not directly related to the bitcoin node!

However, I think it is good to report the issue to <https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues>
