Title: Segmentation Fault-My Server
Post by: Death On Ice on January 17, 2007, 02:11:11 am

I get random crashes of my server, when I go over it it says "Segmentation fault" which i think is caused by an unathorized access to files or something....Help Please!

Actually this could be a more serious problem, and you should tell the developers on the IRC channel. You may have uncovered a serious bug. Is there anything odd looking in the console above the segfault error?

Yeah, that would surely help, my crystal ball has broken some time ago.

O ok sorry about that.

The reason I didnt post a crash log is because it just happened.

It said Application tremded.ub has unexpectedly quit.

I looked at the log and it just said segmentation fault.

And before it, an ordinary conversation between people on my server at the time.

Its weird....

I will get an IRC client so I  can chat Thanks Guys!

Try running the server from debugger (i.e. gdb) and see where exactly does the segfault happen. Recompiling tremded with debugger symbols will also help in tracking it down but it's not yet necessary.

http://colloquy.info is frequently nasty, but it's the best I can find for mac.

Thanks for your concern, I downloaded colloquay shortly after the suggestion. On the Irc I was helped with a few minor things, but no one had any ideas about my server.

I willl tell anyone who wants them the details, just email me. This includes the log previous to crashing(for 1 game prior to crash).

Please help!

gdb is cross-platform, so go ahead and download it.

don't bother, just install the X code tools package that comes with OS X, it has gdb, gcc, make, and all the other useful stuff.
