Zodiac NPC Crash
 

Server Crashed I'm guessing, waiting for a local admin or PWA to reset it.

Yeah, none of the current staff online can do it and I'm just sitting in hell with null while we wait for someone.

We're working on it. It'll be taken care of ASAP.

Thanks for your concern.

is it 2012 already?

or just wait due the
messages.

The connection to the accounts database has been lost. Please try later.

I think I've crashed the thing enough that Stefan set it to auto-restart anyway.

Nope we've been sitting here for over an hour. Get yo ass on or perhaps a PWA.

Well in light of this I gave a couple people NC control so they can resolve these situations.

I wouldn't mind if a serveroption/functionality could be added so anyone can (/npc)start the npcserver provided it's not online.

kinda funny how everyone can kill it, but not start it.

What? Seriously?

Funny nothing. That's jacked up.

Anyone with npc rights can call /npcstart.

sometimes those people aren't online or paying attention though which is why anyone with RC should be able to.

I'm more for seperating kill and start /npc rights so it isnt such a trust hazard. What is someone gonna do abuse wise with /npcstart (other than constant rebooting) in which case he or she would be fired for abuse?

Pretty sure shutting down the NPC-server used to require disconnect rights, but it seems like it's working now without them...

Sounds like another fix for the V6!

doing /npcshutdown wont work unless you have disconnect rights; however, /npckill doesn't (everyone seems to use kill instead of shutdown anyway lol).

Oh lawd, it happened again! I think it did the same yesterday time wise.
Waiting for personnel to take care of it. (If happens multiple times I nominate myself for being Zodiac's Jumpstarter until this is fixed up)

help stefan help!!

Would like to also state this is the third time it's happened.

we beg u someone halp us!!

I'm debugging the server right now, but no one has managed to crash it yet.

Trust me, be around about 6:30 to 8:00 it'll be down by itself!

NPC-Server just went down silently for no apparent reason 5 or so minutes ago.

Damn it I was off by 4 hours :cry:

This also happens on Classic, and it's on the same machine as Zodiac so it may be some problem with the machine.

Edit: Though I guess this would mean the same is happening on all the Classic servers right now since they are all on the same box.

Atlantis hoppin' on board! Our NPC Server seems to just disappear sometimes, too. Same machine as Zodiac and Classic. No error output or anything similar.

Edit: Oh..

Server shut down again :p
I'd guess roughly 20-30 mins ago.
Edit: Xor popped in a flash and fixed it just three minutes after post.

it's down again

any solutions yet?

and after xor revived it, it has crashed again.

Never happens when I'm awake x-x

x-x!! i will keep u posted

Stefan keeps tripping over the wire in his sleepwalk!

lmao, I remember when that joke first came about on the forums! XD

Anyway, it was down twice today. I wonder what happened.. o_o Either way, if you relog while it's down you get to participate in good old classic pk fests. :D

...and Stefan is debugging it now.

Admin Message: Administrator Stefan:
We are currently fixing a bug, sorry for the downtime

Everything should be fine now, no more crashes :D

u r a hero!

hey guys, era's still up~

NPC-Server still crashing on Classic.

every other post i have read in the first 2 pages is fulgoresama

Restarted after the Zodiac update?
