Server wont start

[Pileyrei]

Hi all

Happy New Year!

Installed MH2 Gold on a server and now it wont start up:

appError called:
ReadFile beyond EOF 7+1/7
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]
Aborting.
Exiting.
Name subsystem shut down

Removed MH files and it still wont start up.

Hmm. I have a support ticket open with the host but wanted to ask here too in case anyone had seen this problem before.

This is linux i guess so i am clueless, might help if we got the log

Hi Hitman

Yes its Linux.
We don't have root access so the host adds/removes files.

Below is from the log, the rset of the log has no errors.

This only happened after installing MH2 Gold

Try to upload MH file again. If file went screwed during whatever ftp transfer server will not start ever. Try to not do nothing while you upload files.

I also guess corrupt files.
Later you may run into the place-holder-files-problem, discussed for example in thread function GetSoundDuration -> SIGSEGV.

Thanks for the replies. I know the files were deleted after the failed install so don't understand why it doesn't start up now.
I'll see what their tech support guys come up with and try uploading the files again as suggested/if necessary.

Thanks for the help

EDIT: Bit in bold is now fixed. Missing redirect files.

appError called:
ReadFile beyond EOF 7+1/7
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]

The main error now is:

ReadFile beyond EOF 7+1/7

On other servers the EOF value is different.

I'm at the mercy of tec support from the host.

Hi Pileyrei

Check your setting this must be like that:

ServerActors=MonsterHunt2Gold.LinkActor
ServerActors=MonsterHunt2Gold.ServerAdds
ServerPackages=MonsterHunt
ServerPackages=MonsterHunt2Gold

GameClass="MonsterHunt2Gold.MonsterHunt",

,Mutators="
MonsterHunt2Gold.IP2Country,
MonsterHunt2Gold.Stats,
MonsterHunt2Gold.MH2PlayerLog,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicDefense,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicSpeed,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicStrength,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicDeath,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicInvulnerable,
MonsterHunt2Gold.RelicRadiation,
MonsterHunt2Gold.ShutUp"

ReadFile beyond EOF 7+1/7

Perhaps you have forgotten a sign/apostrophe or something in your config file.
Looks like the syntax in one place there is not ok.

EOF=End of file, the program wants to read more data from it as exists.

[sektor2111]

Check your setting this must be like that
...
ServerPackages=MonsterHunt
ServerPackages=MonsterHunt2Gold

Nope this is NOT a MUST BE, Game-type is being added automated in Packages-Map by Engine and then MonsterHunt.u is being called by map itself, btw... I'm not using any of such file in packages and I run 2 MH games in a single server with no issues at this point.
Secondary note:
If any mutator integrated in Game-Type do needs to be in packages, it will work as well due to main package called by engine.
At this moment I run around 6 custom game-types and none of them is declared in ServerPackages only external needs (skins and audio things).

Thank you Lety and everyone else for the replies so far, it really helps.

I have checked my ini and the settings are good. Nothing missing.

But I think I found a possible problem, see the bold bit below from the log. The gametype is wrong. Needs to be MonsterHunt2Gold.MonsterHunt.

I will ask the host to change as I don't have that access

Doesn't explain why the other 15 servers remain down and wont start, even though they removed or MH gold files from them.

Thank you again and please keep your thoughts coming!
Progress!

Servers all back up again after support removed some the old MH files.

Phew!

Thanks for the help in this thread.
