Troubleshooting¶

Common Issues¶

1. "No AI providers available" - Check your .env file has correct API keys - Run sqlmap-ai --check-providers to verify

2. "Ollama not detected" - Make sure Ollama is running: ollama serve - Check if models are installed: ollama list - Verify .env has ENABLE_OLLAMA=true

3. "SQLMap not found" - Install SQLMap globally using one of these methods: - Kali/Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install sqlmap - macOS: brew install sqlmap - From source: git clone https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap.git && cd sqlmap && sudo python setup.py install - Verify installation: sqlmap --version

4. "Configuration issues" - Run sqlmap-ai --config-wizard to fix setup - Check sqlmap-ai --validate-config for issues

5. "Request file not working" - Ensure request file has proper HTTP format - Check that Host header is present - Verify request file path is correct - Try with --simple mode first: sqlmap-ai --simple -r request.txt

6. "URL validation failed" - When using request files, the URL is automatically extracted - Ensure request file contains valid HTTP request - Check that the Host header matches the target domain
