What the.........?

Ok here is some oddness.

start the master using the start-master.bat file in the master directory and get this result:

What the.........? Server1

As you can see from the screenshot, both status-multiverse.bat and JMX report the server is running. However the command prompt window that start-master.bat is running in says the server did not start.

BUT when I try to run through cygwin this is what happens:

What the.........? Server2

Now im assuming cygwin is correct as I can not connect to the server even though the batchfile seems to start everything . any one have any clue as to what is going on here?

Sorry about the lack of images , Lost power and the webserver was down for a bit affraid

I think I may have a solution to your problem. Can you jump on chat or IM so we can get you up and running ?

If you have configured MV_HOME variable configured as an "Environment Variable" on My Computer, then remove it. Really all the environment variables for multiverse should be removed and let the scripts do all the work.

You probably have an Environment Variable name MV_HOME configured to C:\multiverse

There might be some documentation on the wiki that says to create these environment variables. But I've found them to cause nothing but trouble. All the variables can be handled within the session of the .batch file or .sh script.

This can especially cause problems if you are trying to run one server under Windows .bat files and another server under Cygwin on the same machine. They will both try to share the same environment variables and cause problems.

Shane

You are correct, I do have Multiverse set as MV_HOME in the env variables. I will remove it and see what happens. Sorry about not getting on chat with you , But you can email me directly at admin@darkfrontieronline.net I usualy check that 50 times a day lol.

Could it be that this:

Code:: ERROR [2012-08-05 14:32:42,281] main 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)

is indicating that the java path is being set twice like it does in start-multiverse.bat before you apply your fix?

Oh and cygwin refuses to output log files now for some reason. I dont understand how it first will find everything java related then its as if the information is overwritten or something and all the sudden it cant find the class path again.

This tells me that the JDBC variable is not set correctly. If you have an evironment variable named JDBC remove it
Also check you multiverse.properties and verify the JDBC path
I believe the base install puts it into the other/MySQL-JDBC/. Folder
Use the most current jar which I beleive is 3.1.4
The JDBC .jar file is what provides connectivity between java and the MySQL database. It is not the java runtime version. The java runtime actually executes the java code and is versioned like 1.5 or 1.6 or 1.7. And how by names like JRE 7 which is really java runtime environment 1.7

If this is the master server you are running then make sure you check master.properties for the correct multiverse.jdbcJarPath declaration.

For both the multivese server and master server the following rules apply. If you are running under the Windows batch file then use \\ double backslashes for folder delineation. If you are running under Cygwin use / single forward slashes for folder delineation.
Also verify that the correct line is uncommented. A # in the properties files denotes a comment.

The declaration should look something like this.

Windows

Code:: multiverse.jdbcJarPath=..\\other\\mysql-jdbc\\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar

Cygwin

Code:: multiverse.jdbcJarPath=../other/mysql-jdbc/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar

Verify that you actually have the jdbc .jar file used in the declaration as well. If you have a different version you will have to change the declaration accordingly.

As refrenced in this post https://multiverse.forumotion.co.uk/t235-i-have-2-issues

I have both mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-.bin.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-.bin.jar at the root of c:\

Also changes to multiverse.jdbcJarPath= to : ..\\mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-.bin.jar OR ..\\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-.bin.jar in both master.properties and multiverse.properties seem not to make any difference at all .

after taking the screenshot in that post I moved the 5.1.21 Java connector straight to the root of c: so both are at the root and declared in both properties files accordingly .

The only thing I can think of is that maybe i need to drop the C:\\ at the beginning at the statement like so ..\\mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-.bin.jar OR ..\\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-.bin.jar.

one question, I doubt it but do you think that Because I am trying to start the server over a remote desktop connection ( server machine is headless ) it could in some way be effecting it?

If the jdbc files are in the root C: drive then ..\ will not get you there. Reference directly C:\filename.jar

..\ means down 1 directory. If the batch file is run from C:\Multiverse\bin then ..\ refers to C:\Multiverse not C:\

so you can either use C:\ directly or ..\..\ meaning down 2 directories

Shane

Ok just for the sake of clairity and to confirm this is the millionth time I have set this up always the same , Screenshots follow:

Both Java connector files shown here at root of C:\ , Please also note the Multiverse folder is ALSO at the root of C:\

What the.........? MVSetup

Ok so here we have master.properties :

and last but not least start-master.bat :

so there you have it, I am going bald over this now lol so i have no clue what the problem could be.

I apologize for the long post but I wanted to be sure everone trying to help can SEE i have things where they are suposed to be and set according to the wiki ( with the exception of the fixes mentioned here in the forums.

For some reason there are 2 lines commented out. Uncomment these. This would prevent the JDBC variable from getting set.

Code:: if not defined JDBC (
java -cp %MV_JAR% -Dmultiverse.propertyfile=%PROPFILE% -Dwin_env_var=JDBC multiverse.scripts.PropertyGetter multiverse.jdbcJarPath > tmp.bat
[b] : call tmp.bat
: del tmp.bat[/b]
)

should be

Code:: if not defined JDBC (
java -cp %MV_JAR% -Dmultiverse.propertyfile=%PROPFILE% -Dwin_env_var=JDBC multiverse.scripts.PropertyGetter multiverse.jdbcJarPath > tmp.bat
[b] call tmp.bat
del tmp.bat[/b]
)

in which file?

nevermind i found it but, still having the classnotfound error after correcting the file

Ok. Well let's focus on the standard Multiverse servers and set aside the master server since that is a bit more complicated.
Have you been able to get the multiverse servers running ? And connect a local client ?

Well I havent had time to set up a regular server yet, This evening I will set it up on my win 7 machine and see if the system will run in that mode and try connecting localy so stay tuned!
