Server gremlin

[Petroni]

Found server characters missing when I tried to log on at 7.30am

Lone took a look and found that the server had started acting up from about 5am. He rebooted and all is fine.

Lone has not explored the logs in detail to establish why this happened but in the meantime, if anyone has any issue related to this please contact Bali in game in the first instance.

Thank you

It would appear that a windows update was installed at about 5:10am which caused the SQL Database to end up restarting, but the DB was unsuccessful in its start up. so it ended up with out database timing out and when restarting the SQL manually it wouldnt reconnect to the server properly which mean i had to reboot the reset of the server programs.

It should all be good now and im going to find a way to turn off the automatic updates!

all best

we had this the other day :P

lol check your pms :P (or dont bother it pretty much says "could we get permissions on the server to change the automatic update settings, or could the hosts please disable them so i can manually runthem at sensible times )

Erm that's odd, Evo's ones aren't automatic - Have they changed their policy or what? Either way, shouldn't be hard to get them to change it, considering ours is manual.

[Lone]

LowRates is manual as well ( as i requested the change when we first got the server) for some reason the permissions for the admin account on extreme doesnt have full permissions >.<

[Petroni]

Well perhaps that needs fixing?
