touch: cannot touch `': No such file or directory

[davgothic]

When starting any server the following is output:

touch: cannot touch `': No such file or directory
Maintaining world symbolic links... Done.
Starting server... 

I believe $SERVER_FLAG_ACTIVE is undefined in the server_set_active function but I've no idea where to define it?

Also, possibly related to the above issue, the output finishes with Starting server.... If I hit CTRL+C and check the server log the server has started normally but msm doesn't seem to recognise that it did.

Ah yes it looks like that is the problem. I think it will be an easy fix.

The use of SERVER_FLAG_ACTIVE was incorrect, as you noticed, because it was an old name. In 0.6.0 MSM was refactored to handle settings differently, and that is where the oversight occurred.

The fix was simply to use the new variable name SERVER_FLAG_ACTIVE_PATH and only use it after it had been loaded into the script. A simple mistake really.

Thanks for uncovering it!

Also I should mention: to solve your problem upgrade to the latest MSM version (0.6.2). See http://marcuswhybrow.github.com/minecraft-server-manager/docs/updating.html for info on how to do that.
