OS Name/Version: Windows Server 2022
Product Name/Version: AMP 2.3.4 (though the issue was on the version before this one 2.3.3.4?)
Problem Description:
I had been running my AMP server fine for the past couple of months, with no issues. As part of the reorganization I have been doing to have the servers running under one domain name, I added the server to a Cloudflare Tunnel, along with our other servers. When this happened I didn’t experience any issues then. I even played that night on the V-Rising server I was hosting and no issues happened to me.
However, this past Tuesday, June 14, I received a notification from one of my users, saying the V-Rising server was down. I went to the game and it was down alright. So I went into the server instance and took a look, the server was still running and I was able to check out the console logs, nothing really stood out to me as being off. At this point, I had written in the V-Rising Channel in discord that I had this issue where one of the servers was completely offline. I provided that day the log file below:
AMPLOG_2022-06-14_00-00-00
https://we.tl/t-UYxCMTpKCk
At this point, I tried creating a new instance to spin a new V-Rising Server but when I tried to create the instance I got this message from AMP:
Unable to complete the task
This task could not be completed: Create instance - V Rising - State: 3.
The core archive failed to download or unpack```
@IceofWraith commented asking me if I was sure I didn't have a network issue. and I responded that I was sure I wasn't because I had other servers running fine that were under the tunnel. He suggested deleting the cached zips in the datastore, so I did, restarted everything and the issue continued.
So I scaled back to the main server of Windows 2022, checked my network, did some tests, and the network connection and all the internal routing were working. I patched the Windows Server, rebooted it, and launched AMP, then manually launched the V-Rising server and it continued to have the same issue.
*I remembered that during the setup of the tunnel I had tried to change the port AMP was using to display itself on the browser, from port 8088 to port 8600. AMP didn't like that at all when I tried it and I had to run the rebind command to reset the ports like they were original.*
I thought this previous event had screwed something up in AMP so I went ahead and as a last measure, I took the server out of the tunnel, uninstalled cloudflared, and rebooted the whole windows server.
Rinse and repeat the issue persisted exactly as I reported, except that now I had a new error:
Failed to login into a remote instance
The login server is unreachable. Verify that the auth server URL in this instance’s config file is valid. This is the ‘Login.AuthServerURL’ line in AMPConfig.conf for this instance.```
In Login.AuthServerURL says 127.0.0.1:8080, so why is it can’t reach itself? I flushed the virtual nic card and I tried again, but AMP is flogged.
At this point, I made a backup of the V-Rising Server, uninstalled AMP, and rebooted the windows server, then I had to remove AMp from the registry because every time I tried to install it was using things that were from the previous install.
After I was able to finally uninstall all of AMP, I tried to re-install it back as I had it originally. I don’t know if the AMP installer had some changes to it, but even if I chose a different path to install it, (I wanted to install it so both AMP and AMPDatastore were under the same sub folder, AMP had other ideas, so I just let amp install itself on the HDD I wanted and let it install on the folders it wanted…
I then was able to install a fresh instance for V-Rising, installed and updated the server, launched it, stopped it, configured it how I had it last time, then imported the world I had backed up and it finally went up and I could see it from the game server listing. I logged into it and played a bit to make sure it was working fine. I thought this was the end of it.
But then yesterday I got notified that the v-rising server had crashed again because you couldn’t log into it. I launched my game and tested that and sure thing the server was unreachable again. This was at 3 AM.
I commented this time in #tech-support that sometime between 3 AM and last night the server crashed again, same issues. I tried to upload the AMP logs to discord but they were too big so I had to .7z and upload them that way.
I wouldn’t know how to reproduce it other than reinstalling everything all over again.
I was able to add the last log to a GithubGist (I think I almost crashed the internet ) :
I had to take down that link because you can’t make a post with more than two links when you are a new user on the forums.
To see my logs you can download them from here: https://we.tl/t-sZhRH0ggMq
Hopefully, someone can help me because I can’t figure out why this is happening. At least the players are being patient.
