you got problems... you need to look in the gamedbd folder and look for dbdata
is there about 6+ files at 256MB

if so... your servers F**ked and need to start over

basicly save every xml possible per char

if its not that try your gshop.data i have noticed that crashes the link too so that your maps wont start.

let me know if this helps.

How much RAM are you running the server on? I had the exact same problem with a test server, spent a lot of time pissed at it and only now ralised it was because I didnt have enough RAM installed.

If it is a virtual server you can easily allocate it more RAM, if it's a proper comp, post how much RAM it has, and you MAY have to upgrade it...

Hope this helps

gamedbd doesn't like to start right up on the first try, it's like an old car. When it wants to start right up it will, other times it takes forever and a little love to get it going.

Learn how to use the magical terminal.

cd /PWServer/gamedbd; ./gamedbd gamesys.conf

If all other services are started gamedbd usually comes right up...

Please stop mentioning this, no one else has ever reported that error you ended up getting and is highly likely that it was just a fluke... (if other people end up getting it then it may be ok, but until then it isn't)

this is SS for my error:

any suggest?

this is my server spesification:
Ram 1gb (512 for VM and 512 for Windows)
colinux basic
and use debian lenny

[Romulan]

512mb ... XDDD Give up and try it on another computer ...

[rajawelas]

hahahhaa.... i don't have much money to buy another ram,,, but i will try it,, if you have solution for modif it, i will try :) help me :D

[NaMeLeS]

It is because of the low ram, you will NOT be able to run the server on 512mb, you need more. The gamedb can't start on 512, this is why you are having problems. Upgrade the ram or try it on another comp...

if you got that problem with 250 mb files use this :

#!/bin/bash
Directory=*

#CONFIGURATIONS:
	#Sleep Time:
	Time=1


for PIDS in $Directory
do
	OPEN="$PIDS" 
		if [[ "$OPEN" != "fix.sh" && "$OPEN" != "dbtool" && "$OPEN" != "fixed" ]] 
		then
		sleep $Time
		./dbtool -r -s $OPEN -d fixed/$OPEN
		echo $OPEN ;
		fi
done

you have to chmod it to 777 and make a folder named fixed chmod that to

it works 100%

this is basicly the same as running a repair. once your files are stuck at forced 256MB there is no repair for them not even a rebuild, you lose alot of important information

and from the script looks like it will do the same thing.

but ill try it next time it happens, if it works then you rock

[Adriana]

i had the same problem and made this script and it all ok is better to lose some stuff then run a wipe on 40000 Accounts :) i lost only some guild members but no user reported something else

make sure you have lib32 and lib64 .

[88supra86]

ill just stick to my method (if anything people lose 1 hour of there work) hourly backup's (checked and verified every time)and everyone keeps what they got basicly. but as i said i will deffinitly check it out if it happens again.

and the reason for this error is through pwAdmin

[Adriana]

pwAdmin is a good tool but also brutal for gamedbd
