Need Help

Okay so me and 2 of my friends have followed how to set up the Altis Life server exactly as it is on GitHub, and we are STILL getting this error:

"0:49:44 CallExtension 'extDB2' could not be found 0:49:44 "extDB2: Error with Database Connection""

I honestly don't know what to do anymore, it also says on Arma 3 that message when you first join "Setting up client..." but it's stuck. Any help would be awesome! Thanks! (note, I have both DB2 and 3)

Post the logs, please.

Oh okay sorry, also be advised, I am using NFOServers for our game hosting, and have done everything for that specific hosting, still nothing. Here is the rpt log for the latest one. I do apologize.

Don't worry.

Hum.. there are 2 things on your log:

Quote

== \servers\capd\exec_capd.exe -ip=72.5.195.224 -port=2302 -name=server -config=cfg\server.cfg -cfg=cfg\basic.cfg -profiles=cfg -filepatching -mod=@life_server;@life_hc;@extDB2;@extDB3;

You should select just one extDB. You have loaded both extDB2 and extDB3... Choose one and remove the other.
Are you using HC client? You loaded it too. If gets error again, please post extDB log too. There are inside: server folder\extDB2\logs or server folder\extDB3\logs

The second thing is:

Quote

21:35:48 Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'CAPD.Altis', skipping to next mission.

You have to place the mission file: CAPD.altis.pbo inside your server folder\mpmission folder.

I see I see, well for some odd reason CAPD.altis won't let me do it into a PBO, it's read only. For the other thing, okay, also I am not using an HC Client as far as I know, but I did load @life_hc so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll try something on my end.

EDIT: Okay so I'm trying it now, I did have the CAPD.Altis folder in MPMissions but I know it has to be PBO more than likely, right? I'm testing it now, I got rid of DB3. Also, cannot find the DB2 logs, I looked in the DB2 folder in the server directory but it isn't there. Maybe there wasn't a log yet.

EDIT 2: Still kicks back to mission selection for the mission, and as far as I know I cannot put it as a PBO since it says it's read only. I'm now stuck.

How are you accessing your dedicated? It could be permission fault

If you've remote access , just right click the CAPD.Altis folder and uncheck Read Only. Do you have PBO Manager installed on your dedicated? If not, you will have to pack the pbo in your computer and upload the pbo to server.

My dedicated is just the game server, TS, and "website", which deals with Databases and stuffs. It's NFO Servers, thats our hosting. I do have PBO Manager on my desktop, restarted, and been trying to uncheck Read Only. It won't do it D: which makes me a sad panda ;-; I'll google it later to see what could be causing it, also permission fault? Not sure what you mean there sowwy

You need to change the life file and mission file so that extb3 will run!

Life and mission are calling for extdb2 but you are running extb3...or should be if you are running a 64bit server o.0

Change to this in the mission file:

Altis_Life.Altis/core/session/fn_requestReceived.sqf

line 37 - CONST(life_adminlevel,(_this select 4));
line 39 - CONST(life_donorlevel,(_this select 5));
line 55 - CONST(life_coplevel,(_this select 7));
line 99 - CONST(life_medicLevel,(_this select 7));

Change to this in the life:

life_server/Functions/MySQL/fn_asyncCall.sqf

line 37 - for "_i" from 0 to 1 step 0 do { // extDB3 returned that result is Multi-Part Message
line 48 - if ((_queryResult select 0) isEqualTo 0) exitWith {diag_log format ["extDB3: Protocol Error: %1", _queryResult]; []};

Change to this in the life:

life_server/init.sqf

line 45 -  if (!(_result isEqualTo "[1]")) then {throw "extDB3: Error with Database Connection"};
line 46 - _result = EXTDB format ["9:ADD_DATABASE_PROTOCOL:%2:SQL:%1:TEXT2",FETCH_CONST(life_sql_id),EXTDB_SETTING(getText,"DatabaseName")];
line 47 - if (!(_result isEqualTo "[1]")) then {throw "extDB3: Error with Database Connection"};
line 54 - diag_log "extDB3: Connected to Database";
line 58 - diag_log "extDB3: Still Connected to Database";

And finally change this:

life_server/script_macros.hpp

line 27 - #define EXTDB "extDB3" callExtension

Not quite yet sir, just got to work, will do the things on my end, but first since I'm on my laptop I need to get FileZilla, and all that good jazz. I'll be back whenever I get everything squared away and tested. Thanks everyone!

EDIT: My friend is currently busy in Arma already, so I have to test it quickly on my laptop if the battery lasts long enough to stand the update. If not I have to get my friend to test it, I will update accordingly on my phone.

Mission still isn't loading. It's in PBO format in MPMissions, so I dunno what to do at this point.

There are a step by step guide that shows up how to fresh install a AL 4.4 Server. The only requirements that you need to start follow it is using windows so.

Take a look, do all the steps carefully:

Spoiler

But download the AL Framework from official repository:
https://github.com/AsYetUntitled/Framework/releases/tag/4.4r3

And extDB2 here:
https://github.com/AsYetUntitled/extDB2/releases/tag/v71

Please reply here if you can get it works or if you still needs help, please.

No matter what version you use, the set-up is the same. What patrol's are you talking about ?

I'm just gonna do it dedicated on my desktop itself, which will take even longer. I'm done with that game hosting company. I'll just follow the video exactly as shown on my own desktop, and go from there. Thanks! I will update once I get it set up.

Get a dedicated server and not use your own PC

I had tried that with a friend's dedicated server...hmm maybe I was missing something. I'll work on it in a couple of hours on his. Thanks!

What I have been noticing in the rpt file is two things that may be making the mission being stuck on "Setting up client please wait":

a3_characters_f has been deleted you can't play this mission blah blah blah and

A3 NOT FOUND -> under list of mods

What follows is the actual rpt file: https://pastebin.com/f4wEmctF

Has alot of other errors too that I'm not familiar with.
