World: r3wp

It's 5500 as documented.

I try to look at netstat -an on that machine, but nothing obvious 
....

look at log file.

btw - debug file did not change ...

servers/vertuzo/log.txt?

yes

look for line that begins with wns

nothing logged ...

altme/prefs/debug (no suffix), added following line:

events: [boot error note start halt wns wns-ping]

is that correct? Then I restarted one world - Vertuzo, port 5401

verifying, 1 min

ok, my mistake. Servers don't use the normal client prefs. Here are 
the steps...

move your debug file to the altme/servers/vertuzo directory, then 
restart the world

btw, remove the debug file from your other dir, or your clients may 
log too much info

After startup, debug file is:
; AltME Debugging and Logging Options
debug: 0
file: %log.txt
events: [boot error note start halt wns wns-ping]
echo: none
net: none
time: none

log.txt shows:
...
wns 28-Dec-2009/16:12:29-8:00 ["open" "testtest" 5400]
wns 28-Dec-2009/16:12:31-8:00 ["close" "testtest" lookup ok]
wns-ping 28-Dec-2009/16:13:31-8:00 [open]
wns-ping 28-Dec-2009/16:13:31-8:00 [lookup]

debug rewritten, good sign ...

WNS log shows:

command 28-Dec-2009/16:12:30-8:00 [75.101.29.32 {cmd: open data: 
["testtest" 0]}]

command 28-Dec-2009/16:13:31-8:00 [75.101.29.32 {cmd: live data: 
["testtest" 64#{OD...}]}]

start 29-Dec-2009/1:12:59+1:00 ["vertuzo" 5401 1.2.13 29-Dec-2009/1:12:59+1:00]

So, this indicates that it works (from here).

log.txt shows no more detail though ...

Ah... very interesting...

my log.txt shows:

start 28-Dec-2009/16:12:29-8:00 ["testtest" 5400 1.2.18 28-Dec-2009/16:12:29-8:00]

so, version number is different.

Maybe the bug is that the server does not apply the recent patches.

Download 1.2.18, and try again.  This will tell us.

website shows 1.2.15, is that correct?

Try it.

brb

the same .exe size. The same version, the same behaviour, no logging 
...

start 29-Dec-2009/1:25:05+1:00 ["vertuzo" 5401 1.2.13 29-Dec-2009/1:25:05+1:00]

checking...

Let me upload a .18 version for you to try.

ok ....

www.altme.com/download/altme-18beta.exe

stop all altme and servers, then install that new one.

start 29-Dec-2009/1:36:39+1:00 ["vertuzo" 5401 1.2.18 29-Dec-2009/1:36:39+1:00]

still no detailed debug info ...

verify that log.txt is from altme/servers/vertuzo

yes, the same location as debug file itself ...

I will delete the log

still the same:

halt 29-Dec-2009/1:40:49+1:00 ["halted"]

start 29-Dec-2009/1:40:54+1:00 ["vertuzo" 5401 1.2.18 29-Dec-2009/1:40:54+1:00]

at least the version number is now 18

yes... but I am concerned because I started a new world here to confirm 
the debug settings, and it worked.

what shows in the vertuzo/debug file?

above content, only two lines - I deled it ....

also, how do you start the world?  (from an AltME or from an icon?)

debub file:

; AltME Debugging and Logging Options
debug: 0
file: %log.txt
events: [boot error note start halt wns wns-ping]
echo: none
net: none
time: none

I start it from Total Commander, running altme-vertuzo.cmd:

start altme.exe -s "Vertuzo" -p 5401

try starting it from the altme "Start a World" panel
