It may be downloading the update files..but, not saving them.


Does your revision change after the update?

You need to make sure that you are running world in context of your server directory

Also, make sure the user you are using to run world can also make folders and files. Beyond that make sure the db_update folder can be written by anything if that doesn't fix it. The db_update.pl script that gets ran by world needs to be able to save files and use them to work with them.

Yes, it changed, and no more update request after ./world start up.

Yes, I run loginserver, world, zone all in server directory:

and the folder own is same user (eqadmin):

it should be written in that folder.

Because of no more update need after world startup, I try to re-run client to seek for luck, but crash again.

Are you sure that the updates ran? If they aren't able to pull down the manifest and the update files during the update, you may have not actually had anything updated at all.

When the manifest gets pulled down (First option 3 run) you should also see all of the updates you are missing in the same run.

Second run will then apply those updates.

I would set your db_version 'version' column to 0 and run it again manually. If you're missing database schema updates that can cause a client crash inevitably.

If you're completely updated for sure and your client is still crashing, you could have a corrupt character and I would try to make another after you are fully updated.

I set version to '0' and re-update:

then re-run client, it still crashed.

Make sure to re-run shared_memory.exe too.

re-run world, it seems up to date:

Yes, I do re-run share_momery, same result.

First, I am happy to tell all of you I have solved this problem, many thanks to you.

It's DB problem.

According to so many missing errors, I decide to download one by one from url, and save it to db_update.

after download them, I re-run "3" to excute these db update sql files, then WOW so happy to see the world.

Hi, Lizardman there!!

When I did not see World running, or possibly crashing I figured it was your database.

For two weeks, I almost try every installation guides, linux(ubuntu,debian,fedora), windows.. and five clients(one Titanium, three different source RoF2, and one p1999), finally, it works.

Camryfu, I'm glad that you had success with your server!


For reference:

You may still have problems when you update your server.

If downloading updates by hand worked for you, then you may need to do that in the future also.

Thanks for your advice, I decide to migrate whole system to one deticated ubuntu linux server , not vm, and also seek for the answer why it can't update automatically.
