Problem with saving. Need help from someone experienced

[trixet]

I got huge problems while trying to save.

For an example, just for some minutes ago everything worked fine, but suddenly when someone logged out an error message occured: "Error while saving player xxxx"

Also, when i press "Save server" in the console, everything just freezes and the server stops to respond. I gave 10 minutes, but then restarted it, and to my supprise, the players had been saved, but not the houses.

Is there any other more stable save function? Or maybe I have to do something in my database ?

Oh yea, sometimes the server tries to auto save the server - and this is how it stands.

Someone please help me with this

Well first of all, what server are you using?

Second of all, when the "error while saving player" pops up, is there any error message before or after that message? Such as a long MySQL error?

It is.. I dont have it right here, but it is something like
MySQL error: Lost connection with blablabla player_deaths

I will check for it next time it happens and come back

I'm using TFS 0.3a1 latest tags rev

Is it "MySQL Error: Lost connection with server during query"?

If so, do you host your mysql server on a remote computer, or the same computer? Since it seems that when the server connects to your MySQL server to save players, it looses connection with it for some reason.

Its an database failure Use 0.2, 0.3 is not stable yet.

ah, alright atleast i know then that it is not something wrong with my database

It seems to be atleast a bit more stable now when I added a save function.

Thanks for answering.
