Shared memory error when starting server after reboot.

[John Adams]

Look for my post about "shmmat" issues. There are a few solutions in there to make a perma change to your kernal.shmmax size.

Thanks for the reply John but I did follow all the directions in that post a while ago. Also in my first post in this thread I listed the values:

From the top:

I have the following line added to /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

and also did the command /sbin/sysctl -p to make it permanent.

When I run:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

it returns:
134217728

I have same problem. I have increased my shmmax and it persists after reboots. I'm running Eqemu 0.7.0-1070 on ubuntu with a clean install, and a fresh database from peq cvs.

On first load of world I get

SharedMemory->datasize(0) != iSize(31898332), We can rebuild him faster better STRONGER!
Or not.. restart all servers on this machine

It only displays on first world run after a server boot. It's not just a nuisance for me, since I also am getting this on zone launches:

Error: EMuShareMem: DLLLoadItems: iItemStructSize != sizeof(Item_Struct)
Item_Struct has changed, EMuShareMem.dll needs to be recompiled.
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT_ERR] Loading items FAILED!
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Failed.  But ignoring error and going on...
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Loading npc faction lists
Error: EMuShareMem: DLLLoadNPCFactionLists: iNPCFactionListStructSize != sizeof(NPCFactionList)
NPCFactionList struct has changed, EMuShareMem.dll needs to be recompiled.
[Debug] [ZONE__INIT_ERR] Loading npcs faction lists FAILED!

I can run 0.7.0-989 just fine, dunno about any versions in between. I've been struggling with this for a couple weeks now off and on. Lend me your head so I can pull out your hair too pls.

I am still struggling with this. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Would suggest the version of zone/world and libEMuShareMem.so are incompatible. When you run the 1070 server, are you sure it is picking up the 1070 version of zone/world and libEMuShareMem.so ?

E.g. you might have an older version of any of these files in your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH which it is picking up before the 1070 versions, leading to it trying to e.g. run the 1070 zone/world with the 989 libEMuShareMem.so or any cominbation thereof.

Sorry if this is obvious and you already ruled this out, but I can't think what else it could be.

Every compile I destroy my working server directory and copy in files from a build directory. But I may be linking to an old build directory instead of my working server directory. I'll check it out.

Win or lose, thanks for the help.

This can be caused by a table in the db that dosent have the correct columns for the release of your compiled Emusharemem lib file. Look through the changelog for the release and make sure your DB table struct is current with 107x.
