Not able to sync: debug.log: "Cannot connect to host 127.0.0.1:8444"

I read that coins provided db downloads early but found there were too many security issues associated with doing this. Bad chains were posted and I think other exploits were made more possible.

I’m having the same error when I try to move the DB to another disk. If I move it back to the original, I can connect. Any idea about how to fix that?

I never managed to do it without resyncing
