STARTUP FAILED Question

After I checked out the new world I decided to take a deeper look at this whole thing so I installed a server on Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 and started it up using the various wiki articles on setting up a linux server. I ran the following with results....

./multiverse.sh -w sampleworld -v start

and I get...

Starting domain server: SUCCESS
Multiverse server version 1.5 0 (- -)
Starting wmgr_1 ... SUCCESS
Starting combat server: SUCCESS
Starting instance server: SUCCESS
Starting object manager: SUCCESS
Starting login manager: SUCCESS
Starting proxy_1 ... SUCCESS
Starting mob server: SUCCESS
Starting voice server: SUCCESS
Wait for finished initializing msq...

wait a while and I get...

STARTUP FAILED -- didn't complete after 120 seconds.
Please stop server.

then just to check I typed...

./multiverse.sh -v status

and i see this...

domain server RUNNING
login server RUNNING
combat server RUNNING
instance RUNNING
object manager RUNNING
world manager RUNNING
proxy server RUNNING
mob server RUNNING
voice server RUNNING

In the domain.out log I noticed I had an error that said missing typenumbers.txt so I found and added that file manually to ../config/common and then the world manager and proxy manager no longer start. There is also an entry in both cases in domain.out that says..

Incomplete dependency for type=Domain name=Domain dependentType=Instance

If I try to start the server with typenumbers.txt added I get this..

Starting domain server: SUCCESS
Multiverse server version 1.5 0 (- -)
alloc_domain_name failed
Starting ... SUCCESS
Starting combat server: SUCCESS
Starting instance server: SUCCESS
Starting object manager: SUCCESS
Starting login manager: SUCCESS
alloc_domain_name failed
Starting ... SUCCESS
Starting mob server: SUCCESS
Starting voice server: SUCCESS

./multiverse.sh -v status

shows this..

domain server NOT RUNNING
login server RUNNING
combat server RUNNING
instance RUNNING
object manager RUNNING
cat: ../bin/run/sampleworld/wmgr_1.pid: No such file or directory
cat: ../bin/run/sampleworld/proxy_1.pid: No such file or directory
mob server RUNNING
voice server RUNNING


Any idea on what I can do next or where I went wrong? Is the typenumbers.txt file intentionally left out? I am kind of stuck at this point. Once i can get this all figured out I was wanting to do a guide on getting everything working from start to finish on a ubuntu server as the current guides seem a little lacking or incomplete.

looks like you have 2 issues, well 3 maybe,

First the PID errors happen when you try to start more than one instance of the server with out it being setup for instancing, Thus you need to find the process ids for all things running java which should only be the MV server and kill them all.

secondly, look in /usr/multiverse/logs and you will find all the logs for the processes , look at domain.out and check for excetptions, or just Grep for ERR and it will find every error in every log and list them.

an easy way to look at logs is to setup samba file sharing and map the directory /usr/multiverse as a network drive in windows and presto, you now have access to all things multiverse inside that directory via windows.

Third, In refrence to the PID problem, Installing webmin will make finding and killing those PIDs alot easyer as well as managing apache, and mysql. But with out specific info from your logs , we have no idea where to start.
