 Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 1:15 Post subject: Linux NWNX Setup and Problems |
 |
|
I'm finally setting up a Linux version of my test server. I aim to test PJ's Linux version of Vaultster as soon as I have the test server running 100% without it.
Running into a few problems though. First, I can't get ODBC logging to do anything. It shows the connect, and that's it. No matter what I set the log level to in the INI. This lack of log output is making it difficult to figure out why the lastlocation system isn't working.
Second... am I missing something to enable log file rotation? If I'm losing that functionality moving to Linux, I'll probably stay with Windows in the end.

1. It's "debuglevel" instead of "LogLevel" in Linux (this applies to all Linux plugins).
2. If you're talking about log file rotation into folders by date and time (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd--hh-mm-ss), that's something I added to NWNX2.exe back in the day, and just recently committed to SVN. It probably doesn't exist in Linux right now, but there's no reason it couldn't. Will look at porting that for you.

Not thoroughly tested, so I'm not going to commit it yet, but replace nwnx2lib.cpp with http://mercuric.net/nwn/nwnx/nwnx2lib.cpp.

Log file rotation into numbered folders 1 through 9. This prevents any one log from becoming insanely long, and it makes checking what happened after a crash that much quicker and easier. Dated is nice, but I don't feel it's all that necessary.
As for Debug Level applying to all plugins in Linux, I'll check that out, thanks.

Well, dated is what I ported, since it's more useful and just as easy to port 
To be more detailed on the debuglevel thing: All Linux plugins use "debuglevel". Some Windows plugins use "debuglevel" (more correct); some use "LogLevel" (older and less correct). Everything should be moved to debuglevel eventually.

In my environment, this script is run from within the NWN directory before launching the server.
(Public domain for those keeping track of such things)
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# logrotate
rm -rf ../LOG/log-9
mv ../LOG/log-8 ../LOG/log-9
mv ../LOG/log-7 ../LOG/log-8
mv ../LOG/log-6 ../LOG/log-7
mv ../LOG/log-5 ../LOG/log-6
mv ../LOG/log-4 ../LOG/log-5
mv ../LOG/log-3 ../LOG/log-4
mv ../LOG/log-2 ../LOG/log-3
mv ../LOG/log-1 ../LOG/log-2
mv logs.0 ../LOG/log-1
mkdir logs.0
touch logs.0/nwserverLog1.txt |

Haven't tested this but... the following should work exactly the same, but with less code.
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# logrotate
rm -rf ../LOG/log-9
mv ../LOG/log-{8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1} ../LOG/log-{9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2}
mv logs.0 ../LOG/log-1
mkdir logs.0
touch logs.0/nwserverLog1.txt |
But you could go one step further and keep the logs archived.
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
tar -cjf logarchive/logs$(cat logarchive/currdate).tar.bz2 logs.0
echo "$(date "+%Y%m%d%H%M")" > logarchive/currdate
rm -rf logs.0/*
touch logs.0/nwserverLog1.txt |
Just create a directory in your NWN base directory called logarchive and put this at the top of your startup script, which should compress your logs into one file with timestamp yyyymmddHHMM in its name, where y is year, m is month, d is day, H is hour and M is minute. |

I am sure that it is something I do not have setup right but do not now what. can someone help me with what needs to be deleted and installed to make my mod run on a lunix server. Again I am a noob so I do not know much so any help would be GREATLY appreiciated and thanks in advance

What do you mean by server reboot? Are you using the reset plugin on Windows, or just reloading the mod using scripts, or are you talking about loading the mod for the first time after starting the server?

sorry for lack of detail
On the windows server I was using the shutdown comand in a script. I was using the letoscript to restart the mod at a predetermined time period. That worked great on the windows server. But I am currently using the linux server that I am paying space for and it does not work. I tried to load the linux version ox nwnx but cannot get that to work. I know that it is probably something that I am doing wrong but do not know what |

can someone pls help here with profiler plugin?
problem #1: log size
i installed nwnx_easy on my linux server and spot that profiler plugin ignores MaxLogSize parameter specified in the nwnx2.ini file... so whenever i set up to 512 kb.. it exceeds it always. i spot somewhere here that LogLevel is replaced with 'debuglevel'..
question: is there also some replacement for the log size limit parameter? if not, what have i to do to get it limited?and maybe also for other plugins as well...
problem #2: archiving
where exactly should i put this script? at the top of nwnstartup.sh? i taught that there is some built-in feature that keeps folders 1-9 after each new run of nwnx like it is made in win version...
note, im a beginner in linux, pls keep things clear |
