Topic: [SOLVED] New win server having issue between d2cs and bnetd

Hi everyone -

I'm trying to standup a new server for my kids to bat around in, and seem to be having a looping or connection issue between bnetd and d2cs, not what the issue is but I'm sure it's something silly that someone here probably can spot right away.

Please note everything is running off the same physical machine (A win Server 2019 box). Just keep filling off the logs with these never ending errors.

d2cs.log

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

address_translation.conf - is completely untouched for right now as I'm only testing internally on my network for the time being, and will open up to external connections later. Maybe this is the problem? I thought it only needed to be configured if testing with external IP networks?

d2cs.conf - has the following configured. Relevant settings copied below:

realmname        =    CrazyEights
servaddrs        =    0.0.0.0:6113
gameservlist        =    192.168.3.110

max_connections = 1000
lod_realm = 2
allow_convert = 0
account_allowed_symbols = "-_[]"
loglevels = fatal,error,warn,info,debug,trace
logfile            =    var\d2cs.log
charsavedir        =    var\charsave
charinfodir        =    var\charinfo
bak_charsavedir        =    var\bak\charsave
bak_charinfodir        =    var\bak\charinfo
ladderdir        =    var\ladders
transfile        =    conf\address_translation.conf
d2gsconffile        =    conf\d2server.ini
newbiefile_amazon        =    files\newbie.save
newbiefile_sorceress        =    files\newbie.save

newbiefile_druid        =    files\newbie.save
newbiefile_assasin        =    files\newbie.save
d2gs_password = "<Customized....>"  - matches everything else

d2dbs.conf - has the following configured (relevant settings only)

servaddrs    = 0.0.0.0:6114
gameservlist            =       192.168.3.110

realm.conf - has the following configured (relevant settings only)

"CrazyEights"            "Welcome to My Server"        192.168.3.110:6113

Re: [SOLVED] New win server having issue between d2cs and bnetd

Just in case... fill the address_tranlation.conf with the IP and also fill the servaddrs in d2cs.conf and d2dbs.conf.

The application should run fine.

That worked but I have a new issue.

So I was able to login client side, create a new account successfully, create an in game character, go into a game, but when I come back out and quit to the screen where you would normally see your list of created characters..... it's blank, like it never saved it.
I've tried creating multiple characters, and it's the same result every time.

The D2CS log is the only log that indicates anything.... and it says "it failed to create charinfo directory...."

I can confirm directories do in fact exist at C:\pvpgnmagic\release\var\charinfo

Directory name is "thebigbaddad"

and contained within are three 1kb files named after the test characters I created. Yet, I still get the error above. And the Client acts as if no characters have been created.

Re: [SOLVED] New win server having issue between d2cs and bnetd

I've never really seen anything like it, I went to the code to see where exactly the error occurs and it seems that it can't find the folder for that account, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to create it, but it already exists, so nothing happens.

Could it be related to some read and write permissions on the folders?

Error location: https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server/b … .cpp#L1040

catch (const Directory::OpenError&) {
    ERROR1("(*{}) charinfo directory do not exist, building it", account);
    if (p_mkdir(path, S_IRWXU) == 0)
    {
        INFO1("Successfully created charinfo directory ({})", path);
    }
    else
    {
        ERROR2("Failed to create charinfo directory ({}), errno = {}", path, errno);
        retry = false;
    }
}

    }
}

I have double and tripple checked that all files and folders have full access. And the services are all logging in and starting up as an Administrator account which should have full access to the directories as well.

To me it looks like it literally can't "see" or "find" the directory, even though it's right there. I noticed that it's putting the "incorrect" / in front of the accountname directory according to the error code Maybe that's just a nuance, but is it possible it's looking for C:\pvpgnserver\release\var\charinfo/thebigbaddad..... when it should be looking for c:\pvpgnserver\release\var\charinfo\thebigbaddad. ???

Re: [SOLVED] New win server having issue between d2cs and bnetd

Really... the error [Errno 17] means "File exists".

A description I found on the internet:

Description: Just checking if the directory already exist throws this error message [Errno 17] File exists because we are just checking if the directory name exist or not.

I don't know if this would be a problem, since whoever generates this path is the application's own core, there would hardly be an error only on your computer. Everyone would be in trouble.

What version of PvPGN are you using?

I'm currently build on the pre-release - PvPGN-PRO 1.99.8.0.0 RC1.
D2 Version is 1.14b

The Client sees only this:

Even though the files clearly exist on the server.

Added: 16.02.2022 16:38

Files showing the account name was created, and the multiple test characters, none of which show up in the client.

Re: [SOLVED] New win server having issue between d2cs and bnetd

Ok... Try resetting the settings and running PvPGN from a published version on github [link below]

https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server/r … _plain.zip

If you haven't accidentally bumped into any config in the files, it should work normally based on this release.

After backing up my previously setup config files, I installed the latest stable release 1.99.7.2.1 with MySQL support. Unfortunately, this did not work at first, as it is not compatible with MySQL 8.0. The Pre-release version is. I downgraded MySQL to Version 5, and finally I have it all working as expected.

I suspect there is something fishy going on in the pre-release code which is causing the error I previously had.

Thank you for the help!

Yeap, pre-versions are not advisable as they are always with recent updates not fully tested.

Glad it's all working!
