lonewulf47 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 First thing is: when the DatabaseBuilder was finished, did you the select the database? (the button "select" at the lower right corner is active). So, after the database builder has finished the firs time, you need to select the required database. I propose to run the DatabaseBuilder again and then not just close it but SELECT the required database. This will automatically start the EFB Server.

lonewulf47 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Please check the following path: C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\DbBuilder\Ready\P3Dv4AS for the presence of the follwing files: If not all files are present, then something went wrong with the database bild.

lonewulf47 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 BTW, I see that you use an outdated version of EFB v2. Please download the newest release from our server and un- und reinstall EFB v2. We cannot give any support on outdated versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I did download the most recent version from ur website - still the same error messages - I think the Failure is that the Builder does not accomplish ... see attached log file..

lonewulf47 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, I see that the DBuilder does not complete its task. For any reason the scenery.cfg is not completed. I will have Urs looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi Emanuel, it's very strange ... The Database-Builder suddenly quits without any error message, neither in the EFB log nor in the Windows Event log. So I'm just guessing ... In the logfile I can see that the database builder has not yet started to analyze the content of the BGL files. It was still listing the content of the scenery.cfg. In your first post you mentioned the error message when you tried to start the EFB Server. That means that the Database-Builder was unexpectedly aborted but still available in memory. Is it possible that the Database-Builder was aborted by an external program? Maybe the Antivirus program? Are you running many more programs on that computer when you are trying to build a database? Have you already tried to build the database while no other programs on that computer are running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If you don't mind, please send me the scenery.cfg to 'support@aivlasoft.com'. Maybe I can see something therein.

aivlasoft Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hello, thank you for the file. Please have a look at the entry "Area.516": The path contains illegal characters such as [ ], { }. Please also check for further invalid paths. [Area.516] Active=FALSE Title=(MMMD) Marida Local=L:\Addon-Szenerien\[MMMD] Marida [FSX]\{simroot}\Addon Scenery\(MMMD) Marida Required=FALSE Layer=516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 okay? how comes? could this affect the behavior of efb ? I dont think so it worked before with the same scenery.cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quote how comes? I don't know. Maybe you are using any third party tool to maintain the scenery.cfg? Apart from that, another question: The scenery.cfg which is listed in the latest server logfile does not agree with the scenery.cfg which you sent in your last post? 12 minutes ago, xxx said: it worked before with the same scenery.cfg I don't believe so. The path contains illegal characters and therefore the program aborts. If it worked before, then only without this erroneous path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
