Hi,

My server is online and without explanation or any kind of message on the console, All players lose their connection with him. Im also unable to connect to the server..
It's not my normal internet and a DDoS attack. The server are online and simply be with 20 hours, 44 hours, 70 hours, 120 hours or 2 hours or 30 minutes. He decides. He drop the connection with all and reestablishes until I open again.


And look, when this happened, the players of otserverlist.org go to zero (offline). This count will last until I shutdown the server and open it again.

it sounds like a MYSQL time-out.
you need to restart the OT because most OT's online have only a MYSQL-reconnect in the start of the game.

this is a common issue of suddenly no MYSQL is used during a period of time, etc that nobody login/logout from the game for an hour or something.
if this is the case, you can make a simple script that will check anything in the database once every 5 minutes or so, to avoid time-out.
it could be a script that look for a player's name or anything really.. just so the game fetch some MYSQL-results once in a while :)
 
This happens with players online .. Ins't a time-out-mysql

There can still be players online while there's a MYSQL time-out.
Nobody gets kicked just because MYSQL dies.

Try it.. the hint is that the character doesn't save if MYSQL isn't online.
And nobody can reach character list while MYSQL isn't online.
But you can still be online if you logged in before MYSQL died.
 
you contact with he support?, becuse on my old vps company i have the same problem (lose conection), i contact the support and he found a error on conecction and give to me more days >. <

It might just be something wrong with internet provider, if i was you call them say that your website & game server drops and goes offline and see if there is a problem with it, if not its something not related to your internet connection, if you do that ill help you from there.
