chat server verry unstable?

spider661 · #1 01-06-2009, 11:51 PM

i had mine crashing every time i opened it so i changed to port finally it stays open but pretty much soon as anyone connects to it it crashes again.. anyone having this problem or is it just me? and if so is there some sort of fix coming soon? like being worked on. the mail server is almost as bad i can keep it running for maybe a few hours then it crashes also.

I seem to have the same issues with the Mail server. I haven't had time to look into it much yet though, so I am not sure my issue is the same as yours, but I am guessing it is. It will work fine for a bit after the server is restarted, but then it just goes down and stays down. The new mail and chat features will be very useful once all of the bugs are worked out. I am sure most of the work is already done thanks to Derision, but it seems like they may still need a tweak or 2.

I know the mail server is a recent addition and I would expect it to be buggy, as for your problems with the chat server, I have no idea

It would help if anyone who can get either to crash to turn on all the logging options in log.ini (this file goes in the same directory as your executables):

Code:

MAIL__CLIENT=on
MAIL__TRACE=on
MAIL__PACKETS=on
CHANNELS__CLIENT=on
CHANNELS__TRACE=on
CHANNELS_PACKETS=on

and PM me a copy/link of logs/eqemu_debug_chatchannels.log or logs/eqemu_debug_mail.log after it crashes.

Even better would be anyone running Linux to turn on core dumps (ulimit -c unlimited) and post a gdb bt full.

Thanks for the PM with the logs. I've committed a fix for the chatserver crash in Revision 264.

If you haven't already try Rev267 or higher. The chatserver on PEQ has been running with the changes in that Revision for 10 Hours+ with no crashes so far.

I commited the mail server to my SVN and haven't had any issues with it thus far. I keep debuggers attached to all my applications so I'll letcha know if I find anything.
