Server-startup problems-- Fixed

Hello everyone,

I have had my eye on this engine for quite some time and finally decided to try it out.

I installed everything as in the installation guide, but when I try to run the server start batch file, the server stops before initializing.

I tried looking through the log files, but I'm still not sure where my problem lies.

Here is some of the logs I am unsure about:

Instance.out

My specs
Windows 7 x64
Latest JDK
Latest MySQL
Latest MySQL connector (5.1.21)
Not using Cygwin

I have tried using different ports, no luck.

I hope my logs can give some insight to the problem I'm having...

Regards

Gabriël

Hi Gabriel

Check out this thread. I went through this on XP.
https://multiverse.forumotion.co.uk/t220-server-startup-failed-solved

Got it working and connecting on XP under Cygwin.

Cheers

Hi Koron,

I did actually scan through the old threads, but at the time didn't realize that the problem you described was (exactly) similar to mine.

Glad to see it is somewhat of a bug and not my mind going nuts. I'll try and fix it tomorrow. Cannot wait to start testing and playing with the code.

Regards

ok is this a stock install under windows 7? Is this a master server?

I Have been trying to get a master server running under server 2008 for 2 weeks or so now and n matter what I do i keep hitting this:

Code:

MasterServer.main caught exception multiverse.server.util.MVRuntimeException: could not find class: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
      at multiverse.server.engine.MasterDatabase.<init>(MasterDatabase.java:28)
      at multiverse.server.engine.MasterServer.dbConnect(MasterServer.java:40)
      at multiverse.server.engine.MasterServer.main(MasterServer.java:439)

This is with a stock install with only the database and other nessasary info changed and its driving me nuts!

Hi,

I am not using the master server. See the fix Shane suggested in Koron's thread perhaps. I've got it working using a combo of what Shane suggested and Koron changed in his files.
