Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

I found that the mysql module on linux (amxmodx 1.8.3 last dev) was throwing this in the logs:

PHP Code:


		
			
version `GLIBC_2.17' not found

I went in the registersystem plugin and took out the entire sqlx part of the plugin, recompiled and that fixed it.

However this didn't fix the mysql module, just fixed your problem.

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

Yes, recently mysql has been updated to 5.5 (which is still quite old) from 5.0 (windows) or 5.1 (linux) and glibc requirement to 2.12 from 2.3.

Technically, because of the AMBuild system, Glibc requirement is bumped to 2.19, but since AMXX did not use functions from it, I guess it stayed to 2.3 or something (?).

That's said, I'm not sure why it requires 2.17 instead of 2.12.
On a side note, AMXX can't always stay working on obsolete systems, at some point, bumping requirement may happen. For the next AMXX 1.9 major version, it's reasonable.

You can always use an old mysql build if you can't upgrade.

EDIT: Right now we're using 5.5.57, and the 5.5.56 version uses glibc 2.5 instead. We could use this version I guess if the bump is too large. What is your current glibc version btw?

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

I am running my server on a dedicated server host so I don't have any access.

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

What is the OS used just for information?

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

Linux. Debian or Ubuntu.

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

I know it's linux, I just want to know the version used.

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

I don't really have any read/write access to the server (no terminal access, just gamepanel). It's just a normal server hosted by big company in my country.

EDIT: On their website they just mention they use Slackware, Suse, Debian and Ubuntu, no versions.

Re: amxx 1.8.3 code crash

Can you try the latest build?

Mysql module should now keep the same glibc requirement as before. Don't forget you need to stop your server before.

The latest build seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
