How are you running AnythingLLM?

All versions

What happened?

After setting the vector database to PG Vector and attempting to vectorize a document, I get this error:

Image

This is happening because by default, a PG database w/ PG Vector does not have the plugin enabled. It must be explicit enabled with the SQL command CREATE EXTENSION vector

Potential Fix:

When attempting to embed a document, first run a CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector SQL command to ensure the PG Vector plugin is enabled on their database before proceeding.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response
