Power loss = Server no worky

I've been running this server for awhile now with no problems. Then the power goes out and the next time I try running it I get this:

Seems to be the world files, and I dunno what I'm doing beyond some basics with plugins.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Yes Power failure usually results in world corruption and or plugin corruption, This is why after such event your almost always better to revert the map back to the last known working backup. It has happened to me a couple times and that is the way you fix it.

You could try repairing the damaged world but I usually find it safer in the long run to just throw a backup over the broken world and replace the plugins with backups.

 

*sigh* looks like I'll have to build that dungeon again...

How do you repair a damaged world?

 

chunkster, maybe mcedit

 

will do thanks.
I'll update this thread with the results.

 

your "server" should be running on a UPS with enough run time to shut itself off safely.

 

well thanks for the tip, but I'm just testing this stuff, if i get serious i'll rent a server.... but I made some cool stuff in that now-corrupted world... it saddens me.

Still working on getting it to work with much arguing with my computer about how it's gonna run those programs -.-

 

Here's a very simple solution. Open the world folder of Gindlewark, and delete everything but the region folder. You will lose user data as well as the seed and some other stuff, but the world will remain intact.

 

Small change, now there's a plugin issue... heh.

I would attempt to use chunkster to repair the damaged world files. If chunkster doesn't work, attempt to repair the damaged files with a file system curroption repair program.

 

only problem i'm having with chunkster is that i can't seem to run java from the command prompt......

oh well, i'm about ready to give up and just start over. It's been a month, afterall.

thanks for your help guys.
