Common Errors

General

Slow MySQL Connections

This usually happens when it takes a long time for the MySQL server to resolve the client's IP. To fix this you must add the following line to your MySQL server's my.ini under [mysqld]:

skip-name-resolve

If you run MySQL on the same server use 127.0.0.1 to connect instead of the public IP.

Windows

An error occurred while attempting to impersonate. Execution of this request cannot continue

Your server has active directory enabled and you get this error when starting the monitor. To fix this error:

1. Create a text file named ServerDomain.txt in the TCAdmin2\Monitor folder. The file should have a single line with the name of the server's domain.

Services have StartError or Error status after restarting Windows

This is fixed by increasing the page file size.

"steam validation rejected" or "Running in LAN mode only" when starting source games

Cause

Installing steam client onto the dedicated box, it tricks srcds.exe to try and login to the account that was linked to the steam client install, thus causing the servers to run in local only as it cant verify the game.

Solutions, fix

Uninstall steam client from the machine, and then follow with running regedit from the start menu or run. search for the term "steam" and remove all "valve" steam related directories.

Too many open files

Execute the following commands and you will see a certain limit set for the number of open files.

su tcadmin

To increase this limit add the following lines to the end of /etc/security/limits.conf

tcadmin soft nofile 10240
tcadmin hard nofile 10240

To see if the new limits are applied execute the following commands.

su tcadmin
ulimit -Hn
ulimit -Sn

Restart the monitor for the changes to take effect.

If your game servers have the same error message you will have to do the same steps for tcagame

Login form is not loaded correctly

This can happen when you are missing some dependencies. The mono installer should install them automatically but if it didn't you can check for missing dependencies with this command. Install them according to your distro:

ldd /opt/mono-2.10.8/lib/libgdiplus.so

On Debian this command should automatically install missing dependencies after installing mono:

apt-get install -f

After installing the missing dependencies restart your monitor:

/home/tcadmin/Monitor/monitor-service restart

Error running gmcs: Cannot find the specified file

Create a symlink to gmcs in the /usr/bin folder with this command and restart the monitor:

ln -s /opt/mono-2.10.8/bin/gmcs /usr/bin/gmcs

./monitor-service restart
