Server auto restarting at the wrong times...

[Linden]

 

From looking at your redis.conf file and your EpochServer.ini, I see the database port is

23423

But in your redis.conf you're not specifying the port therefor it will run on the default port of

6379

Try changing the redis.conf file to specify the port to match what the server is trying to connect to:

bind 37.187.158.76
port 23423
maxmemory 4gb
save 900 1
save 300 10
save 60 1000
requirepass PASSWORDHERE

 

We specify the port in the command line for redis.

That sounds like an issue with your server host. You might want to check with them. There's no built in restart system for Epoch.

This here is exactly what should be going on.

this should be moved to http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/62-server-install-help/

This here is exactly what should be going on. 

 

It is, both Liam and I are working on his server constantly trying to figure it out. He's just posting here in case anyone in the community has seen the error.

It appears this was due to the windows page file, though the server was not exceeding it, increasing the size of the page file has resolved the issue.

Good to hear :)

Well, Swiftnode has fixed all my issues like a week ago :D Its all smooth sailing since.. I love it not a single issue they kicked my servers butt :D And now I am looking into getting help with the BEC auto restarter If somebody could help me with that I would appreciate it very much :)

We working on that for you using a batch or a another method we are going to try first which does the same thing running from BEC.

[dzrealkiller]

Well you guys are just absolute legends :P

Glad to hear man, I just got my server with Swiftnode.net also and things have been going good, these guys have brilliant support and have been on my server helping me get stuff set up and making sure its all going as planned.

[dzrealkiller]

Yeah there on my server sometimes too they pop In and see how things are getting on and they had a little game with my admins last night it was a showdown :P just feel bad I missed it I was in bed while there was a fight going down on the server between admins and swiftnode.net I heard It was pretty damn funny :D I love how interactive they are with there customers Its great :D

You can use a .bat file to handle the starting of your server, then after you start the sever call a .bat file responsible for BEC.

BEC.bat

BEC\Bec.exe -f Config.cfg --dsc
exit

START_SERVER.bat

call D:\arma2oaserver.exe -Slots=40 -port=2412 "-config=cfgdayz\config.cfg" "-cfg=cfgdayz\basic.cfg" "-profiles=cfgdayz" "-BEpath=BattlEye" -name=cfgdayz "-mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"
start D:\bec.bat

if its a hoster ,TCadmin panel will auto start the server back up so only a Shutdown command in the scheduller is needed , and i have my auto restarts runining on a timer not at set times ,, less hassil and less to do in sch file

Your restart times will move. If you don't have warnings people won't like getting randomly discon. Then they leave server. Just do one schedule restart and copy paste. Really not hard :).

[dzrealkiller]

What would the restart command look like if I wanted my server to restart at say, every 4 hours? I have the warnings already set for 4 hours but no restart command yet :S

 

Also is there any way to change the warning colour? currently its white and does not really stand out :S

 

Never played around with BEC :S

If you are using actual times and not running time then you need to change:

<start>HHMMSS</start>

to:

<start>HH:SS:MM</start>

I'm with a hoster using TCAdmin would I need to just do...

    <!-- Restart Server -->
    <job id='5'>
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>020000</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>shutdown</cmd>
    </job>

If I do something like   <cmd>shutdown</cmd>  would that shut down the server and then TCAdmin starts it again by its self or do I have to use a .bat?

Mine don't need that, latest bec ;)

Its #shutdown btw. Need the #. Ive heard success with just a #restart but I recommend shutdown. And apparently yes, tcadmin will auto start the server on shutdown AFAIK.

I believe so, though we don't use that method as we perform other tasks along side these events

[FastPoint Gaming]

#restart only restarts your mission I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong

[dzrealkiller]

So for my server to restart every 4 hours It will be...

    <!-- Restart Server -->
    <job id='5'>
        <day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>
        <start>040000</start>
        <runtime>000000</runtime>
        <loop>0</loop>
        <cmd>#shutdown</cmd>
    </job>

And my TCAdmin "should" start the server back up after... I will give this a try I guess :)

 

And I guess this: <start>040000</start> means it will shutdown after 4 hours of running and not at 4am / 4pm? Just wanted to make sure before trying :)
