Webui loads then pauses

hexparrot · November 8, 2018, 3:35pm

chown -R mc:mc /var/games/minecraft/servers/[myservername]

ok that fixed the command line issue, Webui is still not completely loading, I see most of my servers but can’t control anything from panel. Last time I had this issue I believe I made current archive and delete current server then made new server. I wish I didn’t lose my notes on the commands and how it was done

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 3:03am

Everything I have done has failed to repair Webui. Is there another way to make restore points and run them, also archives till I figure out whats wrong. My servers keep starting themselves back up after I run stop command -s servername stop, not sure why or how to stop them from starting back up while I’m trying to re-create them

Can you provide the contents of the MineOS log file at /var/log/mineos.log?

MineOS has a ‘start up at boot-time’ option, but the ‘stopping’ functionality doesn’t have any restart ability, so them just ‘starting themselves up again’ definitely shouldn’t be happening–not even sure how it could.

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 3:45pm

I guess I should be deleting that log more often it’s 127MB do you want the whole file

hexparrot · November 9, 2018, 3:51pm

Probably the last hundred lines or a bit more would do.

Realistically 1mb would usually do it…but I have no idea what could possibly have created 127 mb of log, so make sure that no matter how much you cut off, it has at least the last two “base_directory found in mineos.conf” lines.

been about a year since I deleted the file

Sorry, I wasn’t clear.

I wanted to make sure you provided at least the last two startup attempts, but also in that include attempts to do the things you’re trying to do that are failing.

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 6:06pm

startup of hardware ?

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 6:16pm

well the log ever since June of last year has it starting every minute or so

Ok, you’ll just have to use some of your own discretion here then.

I need more logs than you provided on either of these hastebins (second one was even shorter than the first).

I need to see logs that indicate errors for actions you’re attempting to perform. Neither of these are listing any attempts at doing things, such as backup or archive, and show the accompanying failures.

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 7:12pm

found this stuff about the time I last rebooted the hardware, or at least about the time Webui stopped working

Alright, let’s start this over:

None of the logs so far have shown your attempts to do backup/archive. Do this:

delete /var/log/mineos.log
restart the webui
try backing up, archiving, and any other behaviors you want to test
provide 100% of the newly-produced log.

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 7:55pm

other then going home to reboot hardware, The command to stop Webui at command prompt is ?

hexparrot · November 9, 2018, 7:58pm

I don’t know what method you used to install MineOS, but every method has instructions for starting/stopping.

That said, if everything went bad after DYNMAP, that’s probably the issue. The tens of thousands of files that dynmap may potentially create is likely the culprit. I really recommend you moving those files out of /var/games/minecraft (like to your /home). If the problem goes away, at least we know the cause.

ironic_8b49 · November 9, 2018, 8:16pm

OK I have removed dynmap and reset webui and still will not work, so I started dynmap back up. I deleted old dynmap folder before i started it back up, now it uses mySQL no files keep in server folder all commands work in putty but webui stops responding after about a min

this is whole log

Did you also take a look at this portion of Potential MineOS Web UI Lag Fix for Dynmap users

Potential MineOS Web UI Lag Fix for Dynmap users

I think you may also be able to specify a location that is outside of the server directory, which if switching to sqlite (as well as manually deleting all of the existing map files within the Dynmap map directory - whatever that directory is named/called, you should know pretty instantly as you’ll see tiles of different parts of your Minecraft world/the map within it - within the server’s directory) doesn’t fix it for you then maybe moving that file someplace else that is completely outside of the main base servers directory then pointing Dynmap to it; example commands and configuration below:
mkdir /var/games/minecraft/dynmapdbfiles
storage:
  # Filetree storage (standard tree of image files for maps)
  #type: filetree
  # SQLite db for map storage (uses dbfile as storage location)
  type: sqlite
  dbfile: /var/games/minecraft/dynmapdbfiles/server.db
Again please do not just simply copy and paste these but use them as reference.
The location can pretty much be anywhere (well almost anywhere), and as for server.db , you ideally would want to change this to something per-server, such as matching your server names exactly for example. One thing to note is going this far will also exclude the dynmap sqlite db files from backups and archives, as well as restores, though dynmap should end up updating it anyways and it likely isn’t really anywhere as important as the actual server itself so no big deal I’m sure.

If the sqlite db file is still in the server directory MineOS may still hang up on it due to it’s file size which is why having it outside of a watched/monitored MineOS directory would be best, like the one in that example.

I don’t think Dynmap is my issue since Webui was working fine for 2 days after the full render, to top it off I have moved the files to mySQL so they are no longer stored in the server folder. I feel my issue has to do when I run a rollback by Core Protection on a chunk the was part of the .mca files I deleted from my region folder of the world. The Rollback went back before the I deleted the mca file. Guess that was not a good idea, but it was done, anyways it almost crashed server and that when I noticed Webui not working, that’s the reason I want to delete the server I feel is the issue, but I can’t figure out how to create a new server from an archive via command. Next I would need to delete the old server to see if I can get Webui to work again

JayMontana36 · November 14, 2018, 10:42pm

Well, in that case why not just export the current live server files (since creating an archive would just wrap those files up into a single file with compression anyways) and then zip them up locally? This way you’ll have no permission issues or anything like that (since you did use root) if it succeeds.
