Ban Menu Crashes server
« on: December 10, 2008, 06:47:29 PM »
There are 2 servers I'm administrator on, and both of them are running ULX, their banlists are not linked in any way, but they share a similar problem, whenever you try to open the Ban Menu or try to ban someone, the server crashes. Before this occurred, both servers had only about 7 bans. On one server, we checked the Ban file, and it was 65 MB. I found this to be similar to the problem posted in This Thread. The file size is about 64 MB, and confirms that there are only 8 bans, but on the last ban under the "name" field, there is about 50k + froward slashes. In the code below is the latest ban, with about 50000 lines of "/" removed:

Code: [Select]
"STEAM_0:1:15065817"
{
"admin" "=NYS=BillyHasACookie(STEAM_0:0:19871114)"
"unban" "0"
"time" "1227993495"
"name" "/V) /-) G l//////////////////////////////// ... and so on ... ////////l l_l ยง"
"reason" ""
}

You can download the banlist at http://notyouraccountservers.com/test2.zip. This is not Compressed, we just changed the extension of the file to .zip to make it so we can download it. Just change the extension of the file to a txt when you've finished downloading the file.

I don't have the last server's banlist, but the problem may be similar.

Thanks in advance for any support  ;)

Hi.
We believe we have this fixed in beta code.

Are you using our latest release, or are you using beta SVN?
(Either is fine, but if you're only using SVN, we need to know)

Thanks for the quick reply  ;D , I'm pretty sure we're using the latest release on the server with the "/" bug, but the other server I was mentioning has the beta code and the same issue. I'll ask the admin who has FTP rights to the server to grab the ban list file so I can see what happened there. He is offline right now, but I'll ask him later when he comes on.

Again, thanks for the quick support! I'll make sure the beta version of ULX gets uploaded to the server and put the bans back on the server.
