Help with GDB

[PunkBuster 5]

I got this error on my map server:

 

[Error]: Server received crash signal! Attempting to save all online characters! Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 

A little bit of search, and it seems like I need to use something called GDB mode to debug this error. I looked at the guide on our wiki but it simply doesn't work for me. I can't find those diles, and I don't understand how to set this up.

 

Do I have to set up the GDB before or after I start the map server? Where does the file dump to? How do I open it?

 

In other words, I don't understand anything at all.

first of all you should provide us some more informations.

 

what svn rev? any modifications?

when does the map-server crash

what client are you using (if the map-server crashes when you are login onto him)

I've been testing this server for several months, I had no problem. Yesterday I converted my old player's DB from eAthena to Hercules. After that, I started having the trouble.

 

The client I am using is the latest from here:

My Hercules SVN is recent, though I am not sure which one it is(how do I check?).

 

I've no idea what causes the crashes. I have people online(running a pre-server launch test) and then I get the error randomly. My best guesses is that something bad with the database I copied or the many src edits I made. Check my recent posts to see all the ones I've asked for(I didn't make any by myself).

Still getting those crashes every 12~36 hours in average. There doesn't seem to be a specific reason I am getting them, and I still can't figure out GDB.

you will need to give us also the things what are happening before these crash.

 

but i personaly would say, your system runs into a bufferoverflow.

 

like to big logfile, or something like that.
