nirhopscotch Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 In DP1 any changes made to accounts.xml and acl.xml were wiped if the server restarted. Ban and kick didn't work either. So in DP 2 I'm understadning the the ban function works, but not the kick function. Also I was able to login to the ResourceBrowser with username "Console" however that does not work anymore. Even if I change the pwd. Any thoughts?

Even if I change the pwd.Any thoughts? are you saying the kick function doesnt work work or is that a question? the ban functions shouldn't crash now, there is still the problem with the xml files although a very quick search on the forum would find you a way round it (and no it isn't just making it read only) and the "Console" login has been disable as it was a security risk, in dp1 anybody could of accessed your server knowing that this account existed, just make your own account and login with that
nirhopscotch Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 Yes the kick function does not work. I'll search for anything on the xml files. What I'm not sure about is if changes to these files should stick after the server is restarted or refreshed.
ThePsyco Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Kick lags the server for about 5 seconds when someone gets kicked. Bans totally crashes the server.
nirhopscotch Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 Ok I read about the XML files and got that part solved. Might be a good idea to update the server manual on the setup page to say that you need to modify the files with the server not running. Although that does create a problem for busy servers that need to add admins on the fly.

nirhopscotch Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah I just noticed that in the panel. Now if I can just get the races to work. hehe.
