Bill,

After looking at your logfile it seems as though there is something going on with your MYSQL database.

We have a couple of other customers having this same issue.

We are trying to gather as much info from each customer and compare what the issue might be.

Can you please try the steps below?


Something is causing your server to crash it seems. What I'd like to try is running the server manually and capture error data to see if we
can see what's causing the crash. Try the following:


Windows Vista

1. Make sure SqueezeCenter is stopped. Right-click on the Squeezetray icon in the system tray and select "Stop SqueezeCenter".

2. On your PC, open a DOS window. To do this go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

3. In the DOS box, change directories to the SqueezeCenter install directory, in particular where the server executable is. The default is C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\Server. To change to this folder, type in: (each line is completed by pressing ENTER)

cd \

cd Program Files

cd SqueezeCenter

cd server

4. Next, type in:

SqueezeCenter.exe --debug server --logfile=C:\Squeezecenter.log

This starts the scanner manually with text output sent to a file. If it hits an error, the log will reflect it.

5. Lastly, can you email that log file to me? (it may be best to compress the log into a zip file, if you can.)

Once we receive the file we will review the log, and let you know what we find.

Can you try the following:


Windows XP

1. Click on Start > Control Panels > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

2. In the opened Event Viewer box, click "Applications" on the left side. This will display all application events on the right side.

3. Under the Action menu, click "Save Log File As..." and save the file someplace you'll know where to find it. (keep the file type as .EVT)

Lastly...

4. E-mail that log file to me here.


Windows Vista

1. Open the Event Viewer by clicking the Window button > Control Panels > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

2. Next, look on the left side and if "Windows Logs" is not expanded double-click on it. You should see five sub-headings, the first of which is "Application".

3. Click on "Application". This will display all system messages for applications in the middle window.

4. Next, click on Action at the top (the menu bar) and select "Save Events As..."

5. Give the log file a name and click "Save". (be sure to save it in a location you'll be able to find later.)

Lastly...

6. E-mail that log file to me here.


That will hopefully shed some light on what is causing your server to crash.
