[HELP] Session Server

Hylkutje · 07/12/2009, 02:14

Hi all... I'm having a problem when I try to start my server.
This is what happens:

I start-up my cast server, then I start up my log-in server, then I start up my messenger server and then I start up my session server...

Everything goes well untill I get to the session server. This is the whole log I get when the session server crashes:

Code:

[1084] CastServer Started
[2628] Japan GameChu Login module loading Fail...
[2628] <------------- Login Server Started ------------>
[2448] MsgServer Started
[1084] Provider::initialize()

[3792] >> CRITICAL ERROR : SP_LOGIN_FLAG_SET PROC CALL FAIL
[3792] File: .\Config\Provider.cpp, Line: 79

I am using: mssql 2005 express edition with windows xp sp3
I have: 4 gb physical ram memory and a extra 4 gb of visual ram memory...

This is my config file of the session server:

Code:

DATABASE_ADDRESS	= 5.181.63.113,1433
DATABASE_DATABASE	= CHARACTER
DATABASE_ACCOUNT	= sa
DATABASE_PASSWORD	= blankeneger
SESSION_SERVER_ID	= 1100

LOG_PATH		= ..\LogFiles\
BILLING			= 0
NO_CHARGE_CODE	= NODATA

and yes that account and password is correct...
and yes the IP adress is also correct...

I hope there is someone who can help me out on this...
I'm trying to figure this out for more then 5 days now

janvier123 stop say always same thing -.- you've to use search button before answer -.-

Hylkutje are you sure that

DATABASE_ACCOUNT = sa
DATABASE_PASSWORD = blankeneger

are correct?

have you changed it also in cast folder (config.ini) ? (not only in session folder)

p.s. srry for my bad english...i hope you've understood me :P

yes I am 100% sure of that.... And yes I have changed that...

Here is the proof

:

Code:

;
CAST_PORT		= 7882
DATABASE_ADDRESS	= 5.181.63.113,1433
DATABASE_DATABASE	= CHARACTER
DATABASE_ACCOUNT	= sa
DATABASE_PASSWORD	= blankeneger
CAST_SERVER_ID		= 1101
LOG_PATH		= ..\LogFiles\

Someone else told me to get mssql 2000 with sp4...
So I did that but I still have the same error...

Also, can anyone tell me how the hell session server is supposed to connect to a database while it doesn't even know the name of the server :S?
I mean... I haven't seen anything where I should enter the name of a server for example: MSSQL$BELIAL2...
And what does hamachi have to do with connecting to that server... :S?
If someone can just tell me what is going on and how this is working instead of telling me what to do to make it work I would appreciate it

(and if you do have the answer to my problem ofcourse please let me know and I'll be more then happy to know

)

Have you done SN with query analizer? That's why you get session crash everytime you are trying to start. And I suggest you to use MSSQL 2000 + SP4

Try downloading a diffrent pserver and use the session server folder from it.
I have ran into a few cases where no matter what I did the session server would crash and I had to use a diffrent version in order or it to work. What I ended up doing was copying one from a diffrent one over to the one I was using and ran it that way and it ran fine after that.

ok thanks for the tip I'll try that a couple of times... I have tryed a lot of things so far but nothing seems to help so this might work

EDIT: ****>< still doesnt work

maybe this has something to do with that it can't connect to my server because it doesn't know the name of my server? :S Or it could have something to do with the Provider.ccp (I searched for it in windows explorer and cant find anything!)

Ommm may try and make sure your port number is correct?
The server confiles do not need your server name, thats what your ip address is for.
Here is copy of my config.
;
CAST_PORT = 7882
DATABASE_ADDRESS = 127.0.0.1,1433
DATABASE_DATABASE = CHARACTER
DATABASE_ACCOUNT = sa
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 123456
CAST_SERVER_ID = 1101
LOG_PATH = ..\LogFiles\

The 127.0.0.1 is saying that I am hosting the sever on the same system as database.
The 127.0.0.1 is your ip address of your database.

ow lol, do you have to port forward these ports or not :P? eather ways I'll try what you did

but... is that really nessesary? because my cast server works properly...

only my session doesn't... Do I also have to use 127.0.0.1 at session then? and all the other servers?
EDIT: nevermind my cast server doesn't work properly, just figured that out XD

maybe it isn't my real pass ^^....
You won't know untill you test it and then still... I'm only making this server for me and a few friends... Later on I will make it a bigger server for more people to play but passwords doesn't matter now

EDIT: hmmm doesnt seem to work to change them to 127.0.0.1 :S Is it always that IP? Or do I have to find out what my database IP is?
