Server crashed, and left setup.ini with weird chars. Fixed that, and now start time error after loading guilds. No errors in DB Server so I think either a db corrupted, or who knows. Anyone had the same problem before?

Yup and still having that problem.

Everyime you fix the corrupt files somthing else is becoming corrupt, we've been at this now for 4 days sorting this out and trying to work a fix - Will let you know what we did once we get it working.

Though we have found that the DB's are also getting corrupt as well for some strange reason.

We had the same issue that the !SETUP.TXT was showing summat like this " |- " but with the - at the top and connected - So we re did the !setup to only next have the CDDB go tits up, repaced that and tested server and guess what !SETUP did the same again.

So we seem to be going round incircles on this lol.

hmmmm havent had setup revert back again i get an ascii char looking like LLLLLL in alot of blocks and alot of extra numbers in number blocks. Problem is i get a start time every time guilds load, I might have an IP issue i cant remember since on the DBs I have to use 127.0.0.1 for the DBs

Thats what we are getting from setup, but it seems to be everytime we run CD again.

hehe guys listen, its very simple use setup! from any backup u made of your files. The one which has changed to weird symbols will never work again, its code is changed. You have to setup new one and put to your files, replacing this old crap.
