I've been following the Inductive University videos and I can't get a transaction group to run In the Project Browser the group shows up with an X in a circle to the right of the name, in Status it says 'Unable to Start', in Events it says 'Unable to start group' with this error Unable to start group. com.inductiveautomation.factorysql.configuration.InvalidConfigurationExeception: Default database connection selected, but the project does not have a default connection configured. I have a valid database connection with MySQL JDBC Driver and created a schema in MySQL Workbench names 'test' to match the database connection ---

Does the project have a default database selected? It's an option in `Project Properties -> Project -> General` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/0/60056e05c41fc49ad0e31b110886b2aae1ef0eec.png) ---

Do you have to manually create a table? Total executions and DB writes is going up but there's no table ---

If "Automatically create table" is selected within the transaction group you shouldn't have to create a table manually. Have you saved the project recently? Just as a check it may be worth 1) stopping the transaction group, 2) saving the project, 3) starting the transaction group, and 4) saving the project. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/2/92859ab34a980109520daaa19e109c434b9d3208.png) ---

I tried to make another project (actually useful template project instead of a messed up test) and the standard transaction group for the recipe handling will not start, it says the project is not enabled but there's no other errors ---

You normally get that "Project is not enabled" when the Trial time has run out. Restart the Trial and it should revert back to Running. ---

Turns out you cannot use transaction groups in an inheritable project, but you can disable inheritance temporarily though the gateway
