Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Hey Guys.

I've set up the search server. But evertime I search on the game it dosent work and the console says this;

check conf/search_server.conf and make sure the login information is the same that is in map_darkstar.conf

Hey. I just checked it all. They are both the same.

i know recently i had to redo the conf files for the passwords since they were reset after the new expansion update, how are you updating your server? dsp server updater can sometimes not compile correctly and doing a manual compile through visual studio 10 or 12 would usually fix it

oh NVM i know what it is, DSP updater will lock out the mysql server sometimes and you will have to restart your computer for a quick fix

Hey.

Thanks for all your advise. For some reason it started working today aha!

If you are comfortable with messing with services, you could either:

Windows: Open services.msc and find the MySQL server (or MariaDB Server) service, then right-click and restart it

or

Linux (debian-based flavors): as root, "service mysql restart". Other distros you are on your own...hopefully yours provides a more elegant method than "kill"

That should keep you from having to reboot.
