Common Errors & Issues

This is a list of the most common errors that we see between users.

Extdb3 wont load:

• Please ensure you have all files related to Extdb3 in your @ExileServer Folder, Generally speaking, your folder should look similar to this: http://prntscr.com/h7ihf1
• If it does not look likes this please follow the installation directions again.
• Another issue may be that you are lacking the visual Studio redistributables, download them from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=48145
• If after all of that it still will not load the extdb3, ensure the .dll files are unblocked. Follow the tutorial here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/fix-windows-blocked-access-file
• And If you are here, and still have no luck, Reinstall the extdb3 upgrade again from scratch. As you have messed up somewhere.

Server starts, then closes with RPT reporting that Extdb3 is too old of a version:

• Download the latest update from: https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads/
• If that fails use this version: https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/downloads/extDB3-1027.7z

Server cant find database [exile]

• This means you missed a step in the installation...
• In your extdb-3.ini, you misses the step of changing [Default] to [exile]. THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE!
• Make sure Database= is set to YOUR OWN schema name. eg: Database = Exile_Altis

Server is reporting log files cannot be written to:

• The files are locked due to you having another instance of the server running in the background. Please check your task manager/process list, and close the other server.

Exad "Insert module name here" Won't work, please help me!!

• Please install Extdb3 Conversion first!!, Then go through and add in the Exad files making sure you do not overwrite any Extdb3 Files.
• Use these exile.ini additions instead of the ones provided with Exad: https://gist.github.com/BrettNordin/426b6c866b9606b72d56c69f8aeccbaf

'collumn name here' doesn't have a default value:

• Run this command : SET @@sql_mode = ''; SET @@GLOBAL.sql_mode = '';
