SeanG Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have an intermittent fault which is causing some problems, and have found that both Wideserver and wideclient have errors appearing in their respective log files at the time of the fault occurring. The problem I have is that I can't generate the fault at will, and as there are multiple copies of the application in question running, I don't even know which instance is at fault. Any pointers in tracking down either the offset at fault, or the offending app instance would be appreciated :) Wideserver log file contents: ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 6.78] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 04/12/11, Time 10:04:28.948: Server name is FS 88874 Initialising TCP/IP server 88874 Initialising IPX/SPX server 88874 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 88874 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 88874 Initialising UDP/IP server 90574 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 91089 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3408) TCP 91214 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3412) TCP 91292 Connected to computer "CDU" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=3412) TCP 91401 Connected to computer "ENGINES" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=3408) TCP 93102 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3504) TCP 93258 Connected to computer "PFD" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=3504) TCP 11838042 recvfrom failed: closing client!

Pete Dowson Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have an intermittent fault which is causing some problems, and have found that both Wideserver and wideclient have errors appearing in their respective log files at the time of the fault occurring. The problem I have is that I can't generate the fault at will, and as there are multiple copies of the application in question running, I don't even know which instance is at fault. Any pointers in tracking down either the offset at fault, or the offending app instance would be appreciated All of the errors you are seeing cannot be the responsibility of any application, but must be due to the network connection. Sumcheck errors indicate corrupted blocks, and such could be due to anything from bad memory at either end, bad network drivers, bad network interface, router, cable or switch. I've never seen such errors without there eventually being a component found faulty. Unfortunately you've only suppied log fragments -- if you'd kindly close everything down first before collecting logs it would be much more useful, as summaries are added at the end with a normal closedown. There are only two errors in the Server fragment, both in blocks from the one client, "PFD": 11841006 Connected to computer "PFD" running WideClient version 6.860 (skt=5528) TCP18145163 **** ERROR! Sumcheck or length fails on received socket 5528 block, len=15306 (time=36) 24203009 **** ERROR! Sumcheck or length fails on received socket 5528 block, len=32512 (time=33554432) And these two occur at widely spaced intervals -- 1hr 45 mins after it joined and then another 1hr 41mins later. Very strange, no? Is there something happening on that PC at such intervals? You don't bother to show the Client log for that PC, which is odd considering that's the only one of the three clients which the Server saw problems with, at least in the fragment you supplied.. The other partial log you provide is for the CDU: Date (dmy): 04/12/11, Time 10:05:31.171: Client name is CDU and the first error on that was a long way into the session: 46933156 Error on client post-Connection Select() [Error=10053] Software caused connection abort46933187 Connection closed by server! after which it didn't appear to recover. This sequence occurs a full 12 hours and 2 minutes into a session. Are you sure your server was still running FS at that time? I can't tell, you supply only partial data. You don't show any part of the WideServer log that far into your session! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hmm, I'll have another look at the files, but I would have thought they would be complete... I'll have another look :) We have this happening on a number of sites at infrequent intervals, and all since we changed out the FS PC's to win 7 boxes. Prior to that the whole network was Win XP Pro, and we never (that I am aware of) had this problem. I'll try to grab a full set of log files (server and all relevant clients) from one which has had this fault, and start delving into network issues with the new PC's Thanks Pete, at least I have a starting point to launch the trouble-shooting from! :) SeanG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hmm, I'll have another look at the files, but I would have thought they would be complete... I'll have another look :) Well, if they are 'complete' then they're not "closed", meaning that they are not taken after FS was closed, or WideClient either. There's always a summary at the end after a normal close. The potentially important but missing log is the one from the only client for which the Server is showing as giving any errors (and only two isolated ones which would do little harm in any case), at least for the 3 hours or so covered by the server log fragment. The 12 hour session on the Client log fragment shows that your server session continued a lot longer, and the only errors that shows, after over 12 hours, are really those you might normally see if you closed the server untidily (i.e. without using the closure options in the clients so that they can close tidily too). Note that if you only get problems occurring after long periods like that, it may be indicative of a memory leak in one or other of the add-ons you are using. In fact, with FS9, there were a lot of memory leakages occurring from scenery elements such as autogen files, especially when they are placed in folders without a proper Scenery + Texture pair. I don't recall the exact details, not having used FS9 for over five years now, but i expect you can still find mention in the assorted Forums covering FS9.

SeanG Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I suspect that the way we shut down FS and the clients will cause the loss of the end of the logs... we just command the PC's to shutdown, so I don't know if that would cause everything to close nicely. Next time we have a report of this fault I'll close everything tidily and grab all of the log files. We have pretty much ruled out memory leaks, and we've seen more than our fair share of them in FS9 scenery over the years! Thanks for your help Pete, this is one of those frustrating problems which has been haunting us for some time <lol> SeanG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I suspect that the way we shut down FS and the clients will cause the loss of the end of the logs... we just command the PC's to shutdown WideServer can do that tidily. Thanks for your help Pete, this is one of those frustrating problems which has been haunting us for some time <lol> Well, assuming the errors in the client log after over 12 hours were due to the server closing untidily, then the only 'problem' I see in what you've supplied is a recoverable one twice in over three hours, and no more. Maybe it isn't so bad? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 WideServer can do that tidily. Yeah, that's the way I do it on my sim at home... unfortunately not all of the PC's in the rack are running wideclient, so we need an alternate way of doing it anyway... Well, assuming the errors in the client log after over 12 hours were due to the server closing untidily, then the only 'problem' I see in what you've supplied is a recoverable one twice in over three hours, and no more. Maybe it isn't so bad? More information I have just found; The problem we are having is that one of the "FSPANEL.EXE" instances (FSPanels are our utils which communicate with FSUIPC then send the data out to our other apps) is randomly generating an "FSUIPC Error 13: IPC Request contains bad data" in our app log file. This is one of the apps (not sure which instance) running on the CDU machine, from where the client log came. SeanG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
