Server down?

nebbers

Still super-crashy.  Backed up world and I'm downloading it now - I'll see what I can find w/ MCedit.

CoffeeAndChill

Don't need mc edit, but not saying mcedit can't do the job.
Download a tool to the server with wget. One that lets you specify a backup zip file (one of our snapshots). Python should be installed, which is what one tool is written in. Make sure it supports .mca files
And restore corrupted chunks to the backup version

nebbers

Ah I see a cool tool now, http://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-minecraft-region-fixer/ - I've already deleted the bad chunks in MCedit though and I'm recompressing the world file.  I just had to do it the hard way.  I'll see how this goes since I've already put the time in!

nebbers

OK - SERVER IS DOWN DELIBERATELY while I work on restoring the world.

FFS deleting shit in FTP is god awful.  I uploaded it successfully, unzipped it successfully, and then saw there was that gdamn random _MACOSX folder that sometimes shows up... Oh, well, I'll just delete that since thats not anything important...  Nope, the world was actually in there.  So now I have to delete that and unzip again because I started to delete it and who knows what was lost.  Taking forever to delete all the 1000's of chunk files though.

Just........ be patient and it'll all be ok.

nebbers

You know what?  I'm gonna stop it, unzip a new one, and delete the old one at my leisure.  How bout dem apples.

nebbers

Ok... I'm going to test it.

nebbers

Ok its fixed.  Got a mess of folders that need to be cleared in the FTP directory... but at least the world is up!

nebbers

restarted. don't fail me again, admiral.

Aedesius

GaanSan

nebbers

Lord_Drekar

Vetous

Lord_Drekar

nothing to do with me, mate. probably an architect :P

nebbers

nebbers

I never see this discussion update - might be faster if you tweet me or PM me on here (ill get a notification/email on my phone that way).  Either way I was out all afternoon anyway.

Jimmy

neb pls post cell number, home number, office number, pager number, twitter, linked in, myspace, home address pls. that way we can get into contact with you easier for these emergencies 

nebbers

@helmerman.  That's all you're getting.

screen sessions are being a little screwy - I'm looking into it.

nebbers

I killed the screens but now the session won't bind the port 25565 like a good little server... says its already in use??  argh

Jimmy

nebbers

k its fixed.

CoffeeAndChill

Oh hi I just got home and my email client is full of 'New post: Server down?'


Thanks Neb

Jimmy

k that one was totally me but i blame sam's poor construction skills

Lord_Drekar

You are such a potato. I'm amazed you can even type. >.>

nebbers

If anyone crashes the server again from voxel or WE negligence, you're getting temp banned.  I'm really tired of this.

Lord_Drekar

it's back up.

TazmanianDevil13

What now ???

Lord_Drekar

I don't know.. I was afk for 10 mins and then when I tabbed back, the server had gone down...

TazmanianDevil13

Thats exactly what happened to me... I swear if I lost progress on my build I'm gonna hurt someone.
