for make new channels :S

hi friend's, i need make the channels "War", "Premium", "Novice1", "Normal" and "Normal1", i use the last guide posted in this thread, the problem is, that my WorldSvr_01_01 i add all, and change the port 38111 for 38112 or 38113 in the ini file and change this in the ini file...

ServerIdx=24 for 1 or 24 ( to change the test server id i test to the number's, 1,2,3 and 24)
GroupIdx=1 <- for 2 (this for change de number of channel, "channel 1, channel2, etc"...)

but in the moment to run the server i use this:

service cabal restart
service cabal stop
service cabal start

The server run perfect, and i go to:

cd /var/log/cabal

and apply this command:

cat DBAgent_24.log

and this say that the server id is imposible to connect, and very much errors continue :S....

please help me... :busted_co

--------------------------------------------------------
Channel Number :

1 - Trade
2 - Novice
3 - Guild
4 ~ 20 -No name
21 ~ 35 - Not Use
36 37 38 39 40 43 44 45 46 47 - instantwars
41 42 48 49 - Test Server

--------------------------------------------------------

Guide :

ex) Make 3 Channel

Step 1. - Make Simbolic Link

cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/WorldSvr WorldSvr_24_02
ln -s /usr/bin/WorldSvr WorldSvr_24_03

cd /etc/init.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/cabal_server WorldSvr_24_02
ln -s /etc/init.d/cabal_server WorldSvr_24_03

Step 2. -Edite .ini file & server_list

cd /etc/cabal
cp WorldSvr_24_01.ini WorldSvr_24_02.ini
cp WorldSvr_24_01.ini WorldSvr_24_03.ini

open - WorldSvr_24_02.ini
------------------------------
[NetLib]
Port=38111 <- modify Port=38112
...
...
...
[WorldSvr]
ServerIdx=24
GroupIdx=1 <- modify u want Channel number
-------------------------------

open - WorldSvr_24_03.ini
------------------------------
[NetLib]
Port=38111 <- modify Port=38113
...
...
...
[WorldSvr]
ServerIdx=24
GroupIdx=1 <- modify u want Channel number
-------------------------------
open - server_list
-------------------------------
GlobalDBAgent
DBAgent_24
GlobalMgrSvr
ChatNode_24
LoginSvr_01
CashDBAgent
WorldSvr_24_01
WorldSvr_24_02 <-- Add
WorldSvr_24_03 <-- Add
-------------------------------

Step 3. - Restart Cabal Server

/etc/init.d/cabal restart
or
service cabal restart

This is a hard one to answer. That guide is fairly basic and it does require you to fill in the blanks a lot. It is also not the best way to add channels it is a complete fudge that is almost guaranteed to end up with problems on a lot of server configs.

What makes it hard to answer this is because several server "releases" are missing files and the configurations are all over the place. I started writing a guide about it and realised that unless i knew the entire layout of the files on the server the guide was almost impossible to write, each step would have "check a, if it is b then do c, if it s d then do e, if it is f then to g..." and so on.

This is the exact reason i did a repack to be honest. If i had a standard set of files then it makes things like this much easier. My current version of gen_config2.sh already has multi channel options and allows you to completely reconfig the channels is seconds as well as 11 default configurations you can look at to see how the multi channels work. I was planning to release it last weekend but i decided to hold it back to add a few more config options that people have been asking about.

I will do a deal with you. Zip up all the .ini files and server_list from /etc/cabal along with your odbc.ini (remove the IP addresses and DB user/pass) and either add me on MSN (it's on my profile) or post a link here. I will reconfigure the files to what you need and post it as new guide on how to do new channels, i think this would be a far better example (i.e. a "before" and "after") than just a written guide.

add 1 channel at a time. if you can get one working, the rest is easy.

if you encounter something out of the ordinary, always check logs.

What the ....!!!
After i follow the guide, when i login to then no server showing. -,-"

i set like this

Code:

---

open - WorldSvr_24_02.ini
------------------------------
[NetLib]
Port=38111 <- modify Port=38112
...
...
...
[WorldSvr]
ServerIdx=24
GroupIdx=2 <- modify to 2

---

Code:

---

  open - WorldSvr_24_03.ini
 ------------------------------
 [NetLib]
 Port=38111 <- modify Port=38112
 ...
 ...
 ...
 [WorldSvr]
 ServerIdx=24
 GroupIdx=3 <- modify to 3

---

did you check your firewall?
did you open new ports
did you check worldsvr logs for errors?

Well there's your problem. You've already set a channel to port 38112, so it's in use. Change that bit to 38113 instead.
