IP Change has screwed my game servers!

[GameConnectors]

Hi All,

 

 

 

I just moved datacenters (thanks 24play), and have had to change the IPs to ALL my servers.

 

 

 

I had only 3 game servers set up (which were just for testing anyway), but whenever I try and do anything with them I get an error saying:

 

 

 

'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

 

 

 

Which appears to mean that something it is expecting is not there.

 

 

 

I have changed the IPs in the control panel for the monitoring and created new config files, imported them and rebooted each server.

 

 

 

It appears to say that each server is running, but I'm unable to delete any of them....

 

 

 

Any ideas?

Also, it appears that I can't create a game server or use the automation.

 

 

 

I think I must have missed something fundamental!

 

 

 

When I manually create a game server, it just doesn't create it (waiting for an error email), and the automation process passes everything over to TCAdmin, but it does nothing.

 

 

 

I think I'd better create a support ticket...

[GameConnectors]

OK I'm a dumbass.

 

 

 

I 'missed' configuring the IPs for 2 of the remote servers and it subsequently denied them access...

 

 

 

I couldn't figure out if you can rerun something in the MB API queue so I just manually created the server with the users Billing ID

I can see myself making a similar mistake tonight... but then after the reply from ECF on the ticket prior to the move I'd better not!!!

Just remember to allways make a backup of your database before changing any major system settings or IPs.

ERM

 

 

 

For this backup utility to work, The MySQL server must be running on the master server.

 

 

 

 

 

And if its not we have to do it from somewhere like PHPMYADMIN?

[ECF]

Must be on the master server if you are using the one in the panel.

 

 

 

I would suggest downloading the MYSql manager program from their site (http://www.mysql.com). Much easier to work with, and you can schedule backups with it as well.

 

 

 

I suppose it's time to give you one the customer logos, so you can fit in with all the cool people

 

 

[24play]

Wooo Hooo.... Check out me new LOGO!!!

 

 

 

Also can you do 24play1 please as he'll only get upset...

 

 

 

Will use MySql Administrator for the backup....

[ECF]

Sorry only one logo per customer

[24play]

 

 

 

You know its not worth the hassel....

 

 

 

He'll call you up again and argue with you on the phone... And only because I'll wind him up .

 

 

 

Cant believe I to am spamming. I'll stop now, apologies.

[24play]

[GameConnectors]
