My server crashed with the following info in the log:

The log was almost 100% full with this line over and over and over........

Then this bit at the end:

Any ideas?

I've seen when some players join and the disconnect the server dies a few minutes later. Something seemed to happen after "Marcin_PL" joined or tried to join?

Thanks

I have one idea ...put the log content in a

Post to UA where Anth will see it (he usually replies) or get Sam to take a look if he's not busy. It may be as simple as the server just didn't initialize correctly. It happens sometimes and you just reset.

This message appears if the needed port is already bound to another process.

• If you have access to a command line, try "netstat -an" to see what processes have opened what ports.
• Maybe you have started "ACEDataLink" multiple times?
• Can you try another port (use a random number between 10000 and 65535)?

Thanks for the replies.
I may well post in UA and see if anything else comes back.

I don't mind if its a "happens some times" thing, was just curious as the server was down all day.

Thanks.

Pileyrei this is only a bandaid rather than addressing the underlying problem, but are you making use of the "Server Autorestart Options" under "Config" in the GameServers control panel? You can set it to automatically restart the server after 20 minutes if an outage is detected (unfortunately that's the shortest interval you can pick). It's not great - in the sense that it doesn't help with the real issue - but in the meantime

Thanks for the reminder. I'll set that option -
