Hopefully this thread won't get used much. ;)

Server is down, btw.

Still down? Or is it just me having problems connecting? :confused:

Still down, just tried it myself.

My diamond shovel doesn't work even remotely as well as a MC one. My flint and steel, however, do. :D

Stupidly busy day at work today, guys. Sorry, but I can't check in on this until I get home around 7 PM EDT.

S'okay. I guess I can be productive IRL for a while. ;)

Game's up guys. :)

I followed a cheat sheet Brad gave me a while back.

709
2011-04-12, 15:57
What happened? Software thing or hardware thing? Just curious.

turtle
2011-04-12, 16:03
Wasn't hardware but I don't know what it was. I've sent Brad a copy of what I found in the session when I got there. He'll have to sort it out.

Thank god! Some of these guys were actually about to get some work done in real life... :lol:

Seriously. I reconnected with my family, made some cookies, filled the huge hole in my backyard that I dug the last time the server was down.... what a productive day!

Is, um, minecraft.net down for anybody else? It's not letting me log into my account at all. And the site isn't loading for me, either.

arteggio
2011-04-13, 15:51
It's loading to an utterly blank page for me. Server's fine though.

EDIT: Take that back. Can't connect to the server after it restarted (:wtf: :grumble: !!!). I guess I got on before MC.net went down...

EDIT 2 @ 4:56: Back! :)

Brad
2011-04-13, 18:18
C'mon guys. Minecraft.net goes down or is overloaded at least once a day. If you post in this thread every time that happens, we'll max out vbulletin's per thread post limit! :p

Really? That's never happened to me. But I'm still a n00b. :)

Sorry, I didn't realize it was a regular occurrence.

Brad
2011-04-13, 18:34
Oh man. Most evenings and weekends until a few weeks ago it would be down for hours and hours on end! It was brutal. Over the past few weeks it seems to have gotten much better, but I still occasionally get the timeout error on launch.

RowdyScot
2011-04-23, 23:48
Minecraft.net seems to be down. Sigh.

Edit: Or not. :)

Brad

I took the server offline for about 20 minutes while I was surgically modifying a chunk to restore Smith Manor. No one was online at the time; so, I figured that was the best time for the outage. Been back up for the past half hour or so.

turtle
2011-05-30, 15:15
Yep, it's up now. I am in but all alone. :( :p

Brad
2011-05-31, 01:35
I just took the server down for a nail-biting ~30 minutes while I fixed a corrupt world data file. All is well now and the server is back up.

RowdyScot

Thanks, Brad. :)

Server connection sucks for all of you right now. Not sure why but my upload is only showing 1.3Mbps which is nothing close to my 35Mbps I normally have.

Support (me) is investigating and will post an update an soon as one is known. Thank you for your patiences and understanding in this time of trouble. :p

RowdyScot
2011-06-02, 18:34
I thought there was a ton of lag recently. Glad there's data to back that up, and things just aren't getting worse and worse on my dino computer.

You The Man, T. Thanks for digging into this issue and resolving it so quickly. :)

Router enema complete:
I'm wondering if the router might need another enema. I've been online a lot today, and I've been regularly having blocks regenerate on me, and warping is really slow. It's not constantly slow, but occasionally it really drags, despite me being the only one online. Mind looking into this tonight, T? :)

turtle
2011-07-01, 18:00
I got home and re-flashed the router and updated the configuration. Hopefully that will take care of the issue. Feel free to test it out. :)

Brad
2011-07-01, 18:01
Thanks, T! :)

turtle
2011-07-01, 18:22
You're welcome! Glad I could do this...shame I had to wait until I got home from work to do this. Something about administering my router via a work connection just strikes me as having poor taste. Especially since it is a hosting company. :p

So I didn't remember to do a Speedtest before re-flashing but here is the post flash results:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1367141925.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Now I have noted that this happened right at 30 days ago. Let's see if it happens this time next month. If it does I'm going to have to look at a better router.

Brad
2011-07-04, 13:40
FYI, I'm taking the server down briefly to try the beta 1.7 update...

Brad
2011-07-04, 13:50
Updated! We're now running beta 1.7.2. :) Please update your client (and texture pack!!) before reconnecting.

turtle
2011-07-04, 14:46
It works. :) I was on a for a little bit but have to jet. Fun times thinking about how I'm going to use pistons....

billybobsky
2011-07-04, 16:16
Right... so either the white list is borked or well you don't like me very much...

However: it is superfantasticfun to 'fly' by stacking TNT really quickly beneath me, only to have it disappear and the server boot me.

Brad
2011-07-04, 16:38
Looking into it... the permissions plugin did undergo a major version change. I thought I checked everything, but I might have missed some bits.

Brad
2011-07-04, 16:41
Aha! Yes, permissions for regular members was horked. Please try again now. :)

Wait? Is flying finally allowed??

Bryson
2011-07-04, 19:17
I have a simple pistons project already lined up.

Has anyone checked if the block duplication bug is present in 1.7.2 SMP?

Brad
2011-07-04, 19:24
Apparently, yes. It's expected to be patched soon, though.

Bryson

It wasn't me! Looks like you got booted for a restart of the server. Not sure why you didn't get notice. Brad, any idea?

709
2011-07-12, 17:25
Server is still boinked, btw (at least since I noticed it in the screenshot thread).

Brad
2011-07-12, 17:34
Huh. My screen session is dead for some reason. That does not bode well! I'll fire up a new one and restart the game server. Hopefully it exited cleanly...

Brad
2011-07-12, 17:35
Nope. Someone tripped over the power cable (uptime indicates the hardware recently power cycled) and the ramdisk is gone. When I get home in a bit, I'll reinitialize it and restore the last world backups. It looks like the last successful full backup was this morning at 0600.

709
2011-07-12, 18:00
Ugh.

Well, at least it didn't happen during the block dupe bug ;) (or during the skyranch overbuild :eek:).

I have world maps as of about 9:30 AM when I took a snap shot to be able to put up new maps for everyone. :)

On the bright side, it wasn't me that tripped on the power cord. It was my 17 year old who was thoughtful enough to turn off the breaker so that she could change out a ceiling fan.

I'm very grateful for her doing the fan, though had no idea because I was at work.

Brad
2011-07-12, 18:14
Looks like the hardware rebooted around at 15:33:24 EDT, for what it's worth. The last syslog message before then was at 14:25:59 EDT and doesn't show indication of a standard soft shutdown. Did someone actually trip over the power cord? :)

Brad
2011-07-12, 18:16
It was my 17 year old who was thoughtful enough to turn off the breaker so that she could change out a ceiling fan.
That's great! :lol: I'm working on restoring the 0600 backup now. Did you save the 0930 copy somewhere else?

Why didn't you use the saveworld.sh backup script I created? Use that and it'll pause the game properly and archive the files in the same location as the rest of the backups.

turtle
2011-07-12, 18:16
The backup I have is in my home folder on the server Brad. Again, at least it's from 9:30 AM.

My daughter said she had the power off for between one and two hours. My battery backup isn't going to hold that long. Sorry guys. Now I need to go be nice to her because I haven't been since finding out what she did. :no:

drewprops
2011-07-12, 18:22
LOL!!! Why did she have the power off?? All I can think of is Bill Cosby's story of the Giant Chicken Heart That Ate Detroit!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did she grease the floor and set the couch on fire??? :lol: :lol:

Punishment should consist of staking a claim in AppleNovaland and constructing her first mine and home. ;)

I wouldn't sweat it. Not much could have been lost from a few hours midday, amirite?

709
2011-07-12, 18:25
More importantly, how many kids do you have? I was under the impression you had a couple of youngins, not a whole pack that are old enough to turn off breakers. :D

(Though, good for her for her foresight into not getting zapped, but she should probably learn the wonders of a breaker box instead of shutting the whole thing down) ;)

709
2011-07-12, 18:29

Server is back online! :) It's running a dark hybrid of the overworld circa 9:30 AM and the nether circa 6:00 AM.

Why didn't you use the saveworld.sh backup script I created? Use that and it'll pause the game properly and archive the files in the same location as the rest of the backups.

I was on the way to work and wanted to get a quick pull. I happened to have the FTP client opened on Beast to Lenny. I had just logged out of MC after placing the torches on the bridge so I just wanted a quick snapshot on the way out to work. Normally I use the backups to pull from. In general though I'm writing the script to run your script, then copy it to Beast, process the maps then rsync results.

New map with lights on bridge is up now too for that matter. Although I'm seeing an odd chunk missing on my bridge... gonna do another attempt to fix this.

turtle
2011-07-15, 23:24
So after 14 days of uptime this time my router needed a reboot. Not a reflash as I've had to do in the past, but it did need a reboot. Granted, I'm doing a torrent that's 9GB right now but QoS puts the priority to the game. However too much is too much. So I'm going to need to look at other high throughput options for a router in the near future. No big deal, just though you might like to know.

Elysium was the only user on when I noticed the issue so hopefully no one else was impacted this time.

turtle
2011-08-22, 11:29
Server is down right now. House is without power so the world is going to have to be set to the last backup saved. What's worse is I'm at work and won't be home until far later.

turtle
2011-08-22, 13:22
Power has finally been restored at my house so now it's a matter of getting into the server fro Brad and restarting everything. The server is up and running just not the game I'd imagine.

I'm on my iPad at work though so I really have no idea.

Brad
2011-08-22, 13:29
Woot. I'll try connecting and reinitializing the game. :)

Brad
2011-08-22, 13:35
And we're running! All is well with today's 6 AM backup restored.

Scratch that. Back up. Looks like turtle is having network connectivity issues. Just got a fresh IP, it seems.

turtle
2011-08-22, 18:14
We lost power again during that post Brad. I was also still at work but the battery backup held for that outage as it was relatively brief.

I have no idea why we had such power issues today. Thankfully we have a good backup system in place though. :) Wonder if we can get a script that takes the feed from the UPS and triggers the backup script to run...

drewprops
2011-08-22, 19:07
I think we need to buy a generator. And a shotgun, in case of zombie attack.

I'm pretty sure that when you buy one, the other is included, just for that reason :)

Actually, yes. :) Some UPSes have a USB or serial port for exactly this purpose. One can initiate notifications or clean shutdown procedures based on the state given by the UPS. I have a coworker who does exactly this with his UPS at home. Admittedly, it's one of the more expensive devices...

I have it set up on my personal machines because they interface easy with the UPS. Didn't think about configuring it on Lenny. It's an APC Back-UPS XS 1500. I need to find a USB cable for it, but once I do I'll connect it so we can get the jobs figured out for it.

i know who i am riding with when the zombie apocalypse comes.

You are more than welcome to do so. :)

turtle
2011-08-25, 07:55
FYI, I got the UPS connected to the server via the USB cable, now it just needs to get programmed to work with it. :p I found one app that looks like it'll do it, but haven't really been able to study it much. apcupsd if you were wondering.

Sorry guys, lightning has fried in ground wiring and they are going through replacing cables in my neighborhood. Seems today they killed it again. I'm going to get with Brad and see if we can't get me trained on how to get the server back up. I just don't recall though he did show me at one time.

I do apologize. I was at work again when they killed it.

turtle
2011-08-25, 18:19
Oh, and I have an idea for getting the backups run when power drops. Going to try to get it installed and running today. The plan being any time power drops and APC kicks in the backup script is run. I'll post here once it's in place.

Edit: anyone know a good tool/utility to run scripts once the power drops?

Brad
2011-08-25, 19:26
I'm restoring now! Was out to dinner earlier.

Brad
2011-08-25, 19:34
Game is back online with today's 6 AM backup.

I'll send you some restoration notes shortly, T.

turtle

Thanks.

Edit: Also for everyone, see my edit above where I'm trying to find a tool/utility to run a script once power is lost.

709
2011-08-25, 21:45
I wonder if we shouldn't set the backups at every 3 instead of 6 hours during Irene? Given how fragile the server is lately it might not be a bad call. I'd have hated life today if I was on and lost a full days worth of work. :\

turtle
2011-08-25, 22:28
I'm ok with that, though we'll need to start pruning the backup dir fast after that. It'll start adding up quick.

If I can get this script thing working out I can force a back up once power is lost at the house. This would prevent the issue from being an issue.

turtle
2011-08-27, 09:28
FYI, I just backed up the server and will run a backup if power should go out as soon as it does. Feel free to work in the world until you get booted due to power loss, should that happen. :) I'm riding this out out at home even though they wanted me to be at work today. :rolleyes:

turtle

I'm playing my first game in single player mode right now... made a pickaxe from wood and managed to get some candles made before dark. Am hunkered down right now for the night, hope that the storm does little damage and to as few as possible.

turtle
2011-08-27, 21:32
Yeah, I'm one of the 300,000 or so who's lost power. Might be a bit before I get it back sadly. I'm connecting now via a tether of my Tilt2 and my iPad.

You should all contact FEMA and express your concern over the severity of the issue at hand and get my power back. :p

Brad
2011-08-28, 14:22
Server is back up! For now! :)

turtle, I moved/edited/added some scripts so you can recover the server more easily if I'm not around.


/opt/minecraft/scripts/backup_restore_latest.sh - Run this after a server reboot if we lose the /mnt/ramdisk contents. It will use the latest world backup files according to the symlinks to expand and restore the contents.
/opt/minecraft/scripts/backup_saveworld.sh - Mostly the same as the old saveworld.sh script, but in a new location. I symlinked the old path to this one so no automated jobs should break. The script now aborts/exits prematurely if the server's world directory doesn't exist. This prevents the symlinks from pointing to empty tgz files.
/opt/minecraft/scripts/server_kickstart.sh - Manage a backgrounded screen session named "minecraft" running server_run.sh.
/opt/minecraft/scripts/server_run.sh - Start the MC server. You'll generally not want to run this directly; use server_kickstart.sh instead.

709
2011-09-10, 13:46
Is the server down atm? Or did my prefs get wonked because I switched back to 1.7 .... ? I copied and replaced the entire App Support folder - hopefully I didn't break it.

Brad
2011-09-10, 13:48
Server appeared to be running. I just restarted it for good measure, though. Try now.

Do you get an error message?

709
2011-09-10, 13:49
"Took too long to log in" is what I'm getting. Retyped the server name for good measure, but still no-go.

There we go. Thanks Brad!

Gawd. Reminded me of the old days when MC.net was always down. :grumble: Hey Notch! Spend a percent of what you made from MC for some servers that can handle your user base! Fucking George Lucas of gaming, you. :mad:

Did you set a startup job? Then again, maybe Lenny never shut off though the network did?

Yeah, I was running late at work today. Some hacker made our lives hell this week and I've been having to play catchup.

Hmm... just restarted the server, but I'm having trouble connecting too. Looks like MC.net might just be getting slammed again, resulting in the login never properly establishing.

While everyone was still sleeping I went ahead and did the hardware work to get the drive into Lenny. Seems I keep getting an error trying to get the game started up again. No ETR at this time.

Server went down due to power outage at home but it is back. We ran the backup script at power loss. I just shelled in and kickstarted the server. All should be well though 709 would know best if something isn't right since he was the last one one that I know of.

Does Lenny have a Drama detector?

turtle
2012-01-15, 20:47
Back up!

Not sure why it was actually down but I got in there and restarted the game. Server itself is fine, seems like there might be some bugs with the new version. We'll tough it out for now. ;)

Brad
2012-01-15, 21:20
Yeah, my guess it that something must be hinky about the new serner version or the new Bukkit version or one/some of the plugins we have installed. I may dig into this shortly and start disabling nonessential plugins as a first attempt to resolve.

Brad
2012-01-15, 21:23
Down, now.
It was actually SNOWING on one side of my mountain retreat when it went down.

Yep, this is a new bugfix with the 1.1 release. Now cold biomes like taiga, not just the dedicated "snow" biome, get snow when the weather kicks in. There are a few areas getting snow now that didn't before, including Spec's mountain and an area around the FMS near the mall.

Had a quick unplanned router reboot this morning. Sorry if someone was on.

turtle
2012-02-07, 00:19
No one is one right now so I'm going to do some router maintenance. Should be short but will prevent access to the server.

Edit: Doesn't seem to have taken. I'm heading to bed so I'll head back at this in the morning.

billybobsky

hmm.

turtle
2012-02-08, 22:44
I'm guessing you couldn't get in? No one was on when I checked so I went ahead and rebooted the router. Give it a shot and see if you are able to get in now. I was able to get into the server on the local network no problem so might have been a router reboot needed.

Almost, but not quite! The server actually cut out before I had a chance to work my planned magic (was going to switch us over to Bukkit). I had an SSH session open in my terminal and it all just went belly up before I had a chance to really do anything.

Bryson
2012-03-14, 23:20
Oooh, not good.

I think maybe a baby Turtle chewed through the cable.

Brad
2012-03-14, 23:25
FWIW, I was going to update to Bukkit to see if I might have a shot at setting up a Creative Day soon by configuring the permissions so Turtle or I don't have to be around to manually assign/unassign the creative mode. This weekend is probably out of the picture (I actually have to be at work on Saturday), but some time next week or the following weekend (Saturday 24th?) should be go for launch!

On a related note, the automatic drop-clearing plugin has long been abandoned and is completely broken with the recent Bukkit builds. So, like I did with WorldWarp, this evening I wrote a new plugin from scratch (https://github.com/infinitewarp/SimpleAutoRemoveDrops).

turtle
2012-03-15, 06:20

So I set up an alias. Please do not abuse it as it does send a text to my phone. I'm doing this so it can minimize downtime for you guys. Of course I'm sure there will be times when I get messages from more than one person, but if you do message me for an outage please post here so it will minimize repeated notifications.

turtle
2012-04-10, 16:50
If it shows it is still there then it's an issue with MC.net. Also, try going to the server with http like looking over archived maps on the server. If you can see the maps, then the connection issue lies with MC.net, though occasionally it could be with the game server itself, though this is not normal.

SpecMode
2012-04-10, 18:49
To clarify my post last night - I got booted from the server, and when I tried to log back in, the server was showing as offline (even after quitting and restarting the MC client). It was about bedtime anyway, so I didn't try to get back on after that.

Oh, well, it's definitely possible that Verizon dropped the connection again.

Yep, no down time. PM me your IP or use the email address and I'll check to see if you're in that list. The email will be faster.

So it seems you managed to fit in the 4000+ IPs that are in the middle of the Korean IP set. Anyway, I did see that IP was actually a US IP and opened it. You should be able to get in now. I'm sure it was you.

I'm going to be changing DNS providers in the near future for my domain. This may impact your access to the Maps. I'm pretty sure it won't impact the server but wanted to make sure everyone knew.

Since the weekend is some of the highest usage, I won't be making the change until late Sunday or Monday. I've set my current records for a 1 hour TTL so the worst case is you would have to wait an hour and try again.

Short version: Maintenance in the near future. Possible 1 hour outage.

Something seriously weird is happening on the server. Random chunks of land have popped up everywhere and intersected structures. :|

I'd advise everyone to halt building until we can figure out what happened.


[edit]: I looks like the mayhem is happening around recent builds. The Museum and Planetarium area is a mess, and Brad's new Mario island is completely gone. :eek:

There's probably more, but I'm not sure who's been building where recently.

If it helps to diagnose, I lost my inventory twice today out of the blue (no biggie since it was mostly stone), but it was certainly odd.
