I have 2 issues.

First this forum seems to be incompatible with Internet explorer when trying to make a post because of that stupid little toolbar at the bottom or something, you might want to look into that. and please dont get bent out of shape , im just bringing that to your attention so no insult ment. ( im posting from firefox )

Secondly when I try to start a master server ( yes under cygwin running on windows server 2008 NOT R2 but regular 2008 ) First thing you must do is copy the "server" folder from the bin folder in the JDK ( im using JDK7u5) to the bin folder in your JRE folder or you get:

"Error: missing `server' JVM at `C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll'. Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.
FAILED"

when trying to run ./master.sh -v start.

ok, so with that fixed up , now I am getting this:

Code:: ./master.sh: line 249: [: too many arguments
Error: Could not find or load main class file
*** Starting master server ***
./master.sh: line 93: [: =: unary operator expected

Starting master server: Error: Could not find or load main class file
SUCCESS
Wait for finished initializing msg...

I dont have a clue why I am getting this error, any sugestions?

By the way, I have tinkered with Multiverse for a few years now and it has NEVER gotten any easyer to get started BUT its the kind of thing that once you do get everything sorted and running, its rock solid until YOU break it Cool

I know the server JVM issue was addressed here:
"http://www.multiversemmo.com/wiki/Upgrading_to_Version_1.5#Using_the_server_Java_VM

"Copy the server JVM directory from the JDK directory to the JRE directory. So, for example, copy C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\bin\server to C:\Program Files\Java\jre\bin. Now the JRE bin directoy will have a server sub-directory as well as a client sub-directory. "

"im using JDK7u5"
Not sure. It does note that 7 hasn't been as thoroughly tested yet.
http://www.multiversemmo.com/wiki/Platform_Tutorial_Getting_Started#Install_Prerequisite_Software

Btw, if you do end up cleaning up java and using a different version note that JavaRa doesn't
always completely clean it, you sometimes *still* have to manually regedit and I also had to use the Microsoft
.msi installer cleaner to get rid of all references to java in add/remove.

I'll post if I come across anything.

http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/

So now after hardcoding some things and adding the private key code to master_server.py I am now getting this error at the end of master.out

Code:: ERROR [2012-07-21 18:54:16,298] 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)

Anyone know how to correct this?

I also reverted back to JDK/JRE 6 and Java mysql Connector 3.1.14

Anyone? Surely someone has run into this problem as I see some of you have managed to successfuly get a master server running.

I'm trying to avoid the master server if at all possible, but I imagine there's a configuration file for Master server that has a line that designates the path to the jdbc driver jar file.

I haven't tackled the Master Server yet. When I do, and assuming I can solve it, I'll post Very Happy

@aware
AFAIK eventually you have to do the Master Server thing if your going to run a real game.

I am still learning Python and .sh scripting and trying to figure out where
the heck $WORLD_DIR and $WORLD_NAME come from so I can set
the servers up correctly.

Then the master server.

Hey, when someone hands me 1+ million $ worth of software and says "Have fun with it..." I'm willing to
do whatever it takes. Very Happy

/cheers

There is a page in the wiki that mentions changing a variable in master_server.py that points to the /../../..bin folder to point to some ../../../server folder to resolve the "NoClassFound......" error but I can not for the life of me remember where I saw it .

And I agree, when someone hands me an SDK with all of the base servers written for me and all the other time consuming prerequsite stuff coded that usualy takes forever to get done before you can acculy start doing gameplay related development ( tools, server archtechture, game engine ...etc ) Im more than happy to start playing with it Cool

Ok i am smashing my head against the keyboard repeatedly now............ anyway here is the output of master.out:

The last bit shows the exception I keep getting but I dont understand what class it is looking for? it seems java and all thet stuff is found just fine then all the sudden the server cant find it anymore. Any ideas?

UPDATE:: this can also be duplicated on a windows 7 pro x64 machine using identical multiverse configurations so i am thinking there is some stupid little setting or variable that is not set correctly somewhere.

World_Dir and World_Name are inherited from the properties file I think.

But seriously no one knows what is causeing this? I have been trying to get a server up for more than a week now. Only thing i have NOT tried is building a linux box to try and run the server on. Surly SOMEONE knows what this problem is.

the jdbc driver path is defined in master.properties for the master server and multiverse.properties for the game server.

I know, and both files are pointing to the location on my hard drive in which the connector is located, I even moved it to the root of C:\ and changed both .properties files to reflect the change and i still get the same error.

Java connector line from BOTH .properties files:

Code:: #Path to JDBC driver JAR file
# multiverse.jdbcJarPath=../other/mysql-jdbc/mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar
multiverse.jdbcJarPath=C:\\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar

Physical location on hard drive for JDBC driver = C:\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar as seen in this screenshot:

I have 2 issues. JDBC

hmm it is still listing it in the log you posted as this

Code:: multiverse.jdbcJarPath = ..othermysql-jdbcmysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar

Is the master.properties file in the same location as the master.sh?

Yes they are both in the same location, also now for some reason no logs are produced when using cygwin to start the server but the .bat file does produce logs. Also I changed the line looking for the JDBC driver back to C:\\mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar and this is reflected in the latest master.out so it knows the location but I dont understand why it suddenly cant load it once its found it

Silly question but should there be a repository on the machine the server is running on?

There doesn't need to be unless you are running a local copy of the game or using the world editor.

ok so I dont understand if this line is presant in the master.out log :

Code:: DEBUG [2012-07-25 19:15:07,468] main multiverse.jdbcJarPath = C:\mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-bin.jar

then why cant it find it again later at the end of the log?

### Proxy server settings. To enable remote clients to connect, specify IP address or DNS hostname
multiverse.proxyserver=www.myfqdnhere.net
multiverse.proxyport=5050

### Voice server host and port number
multiverse.voiceserver=www.myfqdnhere.net

### Options for VoiceServer testing

### Should the voice plugin automatically create a positional and/or
### non-positional voice group(s) with the specified numbers?
multiverse.precreated_positional_voice_group=1

###
### Should the voice server record voices?
###
#multiverse.record_voices=true

### Database settings
### Use multiverse.db_url property to use a specific JDBC URL. If not specified, then

Screenshot of the JDBC driver location (c:\mysql-connector-java-x.x.xx-bin.jar )

I have 2 issues. JDBC2

This is running on a single core intel p4 as well so I know its not a multicore issue like some engines have atm. IDK , maybe some freash eyes looking at all this will spot the problem cause I am truely at a loss, If I change it to use the other JDBC driver I get the same result so I just dont know what the problem could be.

I am trying to run the master server on Windows Server 2008 Enterprize <--(NOT 08 R2) because I have my DNS, Mysql, Webserver, mail and a few other servers running on this machine. I really dont want to migrate everything to a *nix server atm but I may just toss one together and set up the Linux multiverse server and see if I get a different result Cool

( most likely I will cause Linux just works Cool

)

So I guess we just gave up on getting this to work? How helpful...............

so any progress with this ? anyone have any sugestions at all?
