Title: Server Crashing
Post by: Bullseye55 on October 09, 2011, 11:24:26 pm
Server has been crashing about at 2:00 P.M. central american time.

Every day.


Could someone stay on around that time?

I have wasted about 14 hours this weekend waiting for an administrator that can restore it.

2011-10-09 12:30:36 [INFO] <johnlikeone> is it really worth recycling stuff?
2011-10-09 12:30:43 [INFO] <Bullseye55> Yes.
2011-10-09 12:30:52 [INFO] <Bullseye55> You can get diamond from the scrap boxes.
2011-10-09 12:31:23 [INFO] <johnlikeone> I suppose you're reasonably likely to get iron too
2011-10-09 12:31:31 [INFO] <Bullseye55> Yep.
2011-10-09 12:31:57 [INFO] <johnlikeone> fair enough...what are you recycling?

Killed

There's the log right before the most recent crash. What was everyone doing at the time so we have some idea of what exactly is breaking.

2PM central?  I'll 'try' to be on around that time then, atleast to check in and make sure the server is up.  I can't make ANY guarantees anymore though, I'm not alone in the house anymore and thus might be busy.

I'm pretty sure I was harvesting or about to start harvesting melons? I doubt that was it :P

Is the server coming back actually because someone is resetting someting or is it just coming back on its own? Is the reset process something simple that I do/could have access to do?

If its somewhat complex it'd probably be better if I didn't go poking around of course :P

I looked into it, and couldn't find anything obvious, although I do notice some odd things in the logs.  Also, there were no crashes in the past 3 hours, in the middle of which was the time Bullseye claimed the server always goes down.

It's most unlikely that it was the portal setup Sonya did, as that should have crashed the server at most 1 time.

SERVER CRASH!



The server crashed when I was walking by Sonya's house. This might be related to the enormous solar array.


Blackblade got on as it crashed, he might not have installed the anti-crash mod right.

I have one way to try out if the solar array is the problem... ^^  I'm still a fair amount of iron away though.

I have 2-3 stacks of unsmelted iron ore if you need some to test something out :P

That's okay, if I really need to do a load test I can just flip the creative mode switch and do it that way, I probably will just before committing resources to the task so I don't make 200 panels that can't be used.  Maybe sometime tonight or oh dear awful in the morning I'll try it and see what happens since I have admin access and can fix any damage I cause.  I do have reason to believe it has to do with the panels though, nightfall sends the lag away that me and a few others suffer on my island, I haven't tried going far yet (nether, laketown, etc).  Ah, that's the other thing, I recall something about portal use causing one of the crashes, has anyone been in frequent use of them lately?  If so we might be able to rule out the portals.

Just tried running in and out of portals repeatedly.

However, the server didn't actually crash and I didn't notice any lag.

Also whoever was last in the mine shaft with a portal leading to it needs to remember to close doors as there was a cave spider right outside and I'm pretty sure they can fit through doors :P

Could multiple users going through the portals at the same time be causing the crashes?

By the way, can this be stickied?

SERVER CRASH!


The server crashed while I was at Sonya's house at night time.

Strange.

Server came back up automatically. Even more strange.

Okay, since I appear to be one of few who can withstand the increased load, I have disabled half of my solar array by extracting the batboxes in that half.  If I'm the only one on I'll be using the whole thing, so if you come on to just me you might lag at first.  This 'might' be enough to stop the crashing though, we shall see

I get no lag what so ever.

I can withstand it, but, the server can't.
