World Server // CommunityorbJun 3, 2006, 7:22pm
Is anyone else having trouble getting their world up and running with the
new 4.1 worlds server? I get one problem after the other even after following the instructions at AW GZ step by step a dozen or more times. orbJun 3, 2006, 7:55pm
Similar to others I have spoken to at the Gate.. for instance I had followed
the instructions and put my password in the world.ini had added my world with the Admin tool etc.. it all looked nearly right in that it seemed that my world was suppose to be running but I checked the Worlds List in Tabs on the 4.1 browser and my world wasn't there. Then I closed rebooted and came back and it was saying that it couldn't start because the password was incorrect.. news to me it all worked fine in 3.6 lol. I have written my password in a little notebook, quoted to me directly from AWI office. Still it's saying my password is in incorrect. Also, one other time it looked like the world was running according to the World.exe but my Admin Tool did List my world in the world running field. Either and all ways my world never got started properly .. I redid around a dozen times starting fresh with a newly installed server. orbJun 3, 2006, 8:12pm
"Also, one other time it looked

In a word......YES!!! All day and all I have now are no fingernails and a
flaming new stomach ulcer! I have experienced everything you mentioned. Plus some. The latest are two blue screen errors complete with a sound that makes me think my new pc is self destructing! I'm finished. I know my pw is correct, I know my world is running because I'm in the &%$#! thing, yet....it doesn't show on the world list. Then there is the one on the world list that says it ISN'T running! *sigh* This browser drinks resources like a horse drinks water and I have rebooted more in one day than I have all year. I think I'm gonna be sick now....... it's not easy being green. [View Quote] orbJun 4, 2006, 5:59pm
In speaking to another world owner at the Gate.. one who has been nominated
in several categories for a CY.. they too can not get their aswin77 working properly to allow their world to start. Lots of miserable world owners here. 2ndchildhoodJun 5, 2006, 12:08pm
I don't know whether this will be of any help, but I discovered that if you
have more than one world running in the same server, you have to propdump and atdump each world into a different directory, or else when you do that, one world's dumps will overwrite the other, and you will find both worlds looking the same. Just make a temporary directory for each world and then reload from those. 2ndChildhood [View Quote] kartenJun 5, 2006, 2:02pm
Just add the world name to the dump file names, and that will keep them
seperate. I also include the date in the filename for multiple dumps of the same world Karten [View Quote] kfJun 5, 2006, 2:05pm

yup, I use for example something like ba-a060605.txt for an atdump of
the world starting with the letters Bb on the 5h of June 2006. But the seperate folder approach seems to be best really. :-) orbJun 5, 2006, 4:43pm
Good news! The trouble with getting my world to start was that my
password had changed to all lower case lettters when transfered to the new system. So I only had to start with a fresh aswin77 put in the password in lower case and viola! cienaJun 5, 2006, 11:32pm
Thats what i have always done. Just put each worlds name on them.
