5.8.6 crashed on site commands.

JoC · 11-14-2005, 01:46 PM

Once I upgraded to 5.8.6 io crashes on all site commands even the default ones like swho.

So I donwloaded a fresh 5.8.0 and only edited the Hosts.Rules file to enable connect, then i updated to 5.8.6. It still crashes on every site command eg. site swho.

So I guess it must be a conflict with something running on my comp but 5.8.5 works without a problem.
I have IIS + PHP + MYSQL server running on the same comp, if one of them might be in conflict. But I did try to end all running processes that I could but it didnt help.

OS: WinXP PRO SP2 SWE

Anyone got any idea?

Same here.

I have observed the same behavior -- clean ini, 5.8.0 and 5.8.5 run just fine, 5.8.6 crashes on every site command (file upload and download work just fine, though).

Edit: Windows XP Proffessional, SP1, English

oldhouse, esmandil: What OS, versions and lang ?

586r works fine here, no crash on site cmds

got crash only when user is locked, so site kick nor !login helps neither...

Maybe _panic_ used reference to a Windows DLL that are different between diff. versions of Windows. This happened with shared memory for example.

Turns out it isnt just site commands that causes io to crash. I can login but when i tried to go to the MP3 dir io crashed.

Code:

[R] CWD MP3
[R] Connection lost: JoC

Mmm, thats sounds suspiciously like the > 4kb .ioftpd bug re-raising its head.
Delete the .ioFTPD file from that dir and test again, see if it crashes still.
Also is there a crash file produced in system root?
Lets hope its not that :/

JoC · 11-17-2005, 09:42 AM

Nope deleting the .ioftpd file didnt help.
So it's not the 4kb bug.

that is a good suggestion. i used US windows xp to compile 5.8.6r.

panic

would it be possible to compile a debug version, writing everything to some log, would make life a hell of a lot easier to find these random bugs with 5.8.6r

No, sorry. There is nothing in the logs.

I get up a crash window that wants to report the error to M$, dunno if there is anything in there that might help u trace it down?
