Server Crashes for unknown reason

[Wadster]

Thanks for posting on the Thread KellyR, it's helped a little, but i'm still getting stuck. the DS Account Manager is coming up with the message:

"Cannot access Database. Check your 'Player account directory'. Try again?" Yes/No

The folder the "Player account directory" is pointing at is:
Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\MultiPlayer

And the only files in this folder are:
player_bases (folder)
accounts.cfg
dsam.db
dsam.log
event_stats.txt
FLServer.cfg
minig_stats.txt
namecache.bin
tags.ini

As you may have already guessed, i'm not a real computer whiz, just a guy that grew up on Elite, Wing Commander and then Freelancer, now i fancy a new adventure on what looks an amazing FL Mod and the ultimate edition of the game.

Do i need to create the player account directory myself, if so how on earth do i do that? I tried running DSAccountManager1.1 but this is not changing anything and simply gives the same message as well.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated, as this is driving me crazy.

Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem, when i hit open it get the same error saying it

cannot access database. Check your 'Player account directory' yes/no.

I have it pointed to the same place as above however i do not have the dsam.db in there. but I do have everything else;

23-e7dce834 (folder)
player_bases (folder)
accounts.cfg
dsam.log
event_stats.txt
FLServer.cfg
mining_stats.txt
motd.dat
namecache.bin
tags.ini

The 23-e7dce834 (folder) has inside of it;

0a-79483e19.fl
login_3CE75FE1.ini
name

Download the 1.1 version of DSAccountManager and run that. Let it create the database. Once it has, you can run the 1.4. I never did get the 1.41 to work.

ah ok thank you, I will try that and get back to you.

wow, you are right, it just seems the new one doesn't want to work. i guess I will just use 1.1 now. Thank you

1.4 works fine for me. 1.41 doesn't, but 1.4 is what I use and it works very nicely; for me anyway. Just make sure you're using the System.Data.SQLite.DLL file that came with the 1.4 version when using 1.4. Don't think it's quite the same with the 1.1 version.

the folder where the multiplayer files for the server are might need to be set to certain permissions like (everyone=Full Control or Modify) it helps alot to set folder permissions

Something else I forgot that the last post reminded me of. And this gave me fits too until I got it right.

For the system to work properly, DSAccountManager, DSProcessServer, FLServer, you need to have the Administrator account enabled and have it set to login to the administrator account automatically when the computer starts.

If you are running it on a regular user account with administrator priviliges, it's still going to run with the standard user token unless you have the program set to 'run as Administrator' and then it will pop the UAC box every time the program runs.

Not good for a server that you want to restart anytime it crashes or reboots.

Having the host machine automatically login as Administrator when it starts runs all programs with the elevated Administrator token and the UAC box doesn't pop up.
