My PHP skills aren't the best and that's why there still are some basic cleaning work to do in the code. You can try nullifying the NOTICE messages from your PHP.ini? by adding this line to common.php (not sure if this helps):

// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

Google up "php error reporting notice" etc for more info. This has been cleared up a few times before in this thread, but I'm sure it's easier to dig it up using google?

Thank You muukis,

Seems that this line solved the issue. It does not fill error log anymore.

Thanks again.

Hi there,

I am hoping someone can help me I'm a bit stuck just now

The webserver side of things seems to be working fine and the website shows the correct pages with no errors. However the dedicated server game doesnt seem to update to the mySQL database. When I chedck the web page it still shows 0 players online and no stats appear to be recorded.

I have edited the databases.cfg file and it looks as follows

"Databases"
{
"driver_default" "mysql"

//when specifying "host", you may use an IP address, a hostname, or a socket file path

"default"
{
"driver" "mysql" (I have tried this as "default")
"host" "127.0.0.1" (I have tried this as localhost)
"database" "l4dstats"
"user" "root" (I did have "l4d")
"pass" "" (This was "l4d2"
//"timeout" "0" (I have tried this uncommented)
"port" "3306" (I have tried this as "0")

There used to be the sqlite database bit at the bottom but I have tried with that included and excluded as I am not using that so it should not be necessary.

I have added the smx plugin to the plugins folder as the instructions say and also added the txt file to the gamedata correct location but I get nothing at all when updating the webpage. Any ideas what is causing the glitch between the game server and the database?

Thanks for any help that you can give me on this

EDIT: The sm_rankinfo command also does not work

If you have configured the plugin incorrectly, the plugin fails to load and you'll have an error or a bunch of errors in your server log.

Hi thanks for the reply,

This is what i get for the loaded plugins

"Reserved Slots" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC
"Sound Commands" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC

It doesnt look too me like its loaded the plugin at all.

Just to confirm I have the l4d_stats.txt file here
\addons\sourcemod\gamedata

and I have l4d_stats.smx here
\addons\sourcemod\plugins

What have I missed?

The only things I can see on the server consile are lines now stating couldnt find entities named fire_ballroom which point to template fire_ballroom or pretty similar I can add the whole line if needed but nothing erroring that looks like anything to do with stats to me.

I'm guessing I have missed something but not sure what.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

EDIT: Ok done a bit more checking on some stuff. Do I have to do anything with the l4d_stats.sp file? I dont remember doing anything with that file?

EDIT 2: I am sure metamod and source mod work here is what I get when checking the versions in the console and I can edit the admin menu and have set me and another guy as admins on the server


] meta version
Metamod:Source version 1.8.3
Compiled on: Jul 18 2010
Plugin interface version: 15:14
SourceHook version: 5:5

] sm version
SourceMod 1.6.3, by AlliedModders LLC
To see running plugins, type "sm plugins"
To see credits, type "sm credits"
Visit http://www.sourcemod.net/

EDIT 3: Ok I have maybe figured out a little more I was getting some cvars errors on the log when the server started up that I had not noticed. I have got rid of these by editing the starup paramaters of the shortcut of the server it was set to "+exec server.cfg" I have now removed the +exec from there and I am getting some errors I found this info at the following link

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=142852

Which suggests that it was loading that too early on before sourcemod was loaded this has now removed these errors (I also noticed that the sm_cvar command did not work from the console).

I was also reading another post https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...=69092?t=69092 which mentions loading the plugin in the server.cfg file by using sm_<plugin name>_enabled

However back to what I have now found I am now getting errors advising of the following

[sm] Detected parse error(s) in file "C:\l4d2\addons\sourcemod\configs\databases.c fg"
[sm] Line 15:Line contained too may invalid tokens
[sm] Unable to load extension "clientprefs.ext": Could not find any suitable database configs

[sm] Unable to load plugin "l4d_stats.smx": Required extenison "Client Preferences" file <"clientprefs.ext"> not running

Hopefully this should give you a bit more info as to why this is not loading

Okay new post as the last one was getting long and I have made more progress.

I have fixed that sm errors in the log all my cvar cpommands seem to be working now and if I check the plugins list I get the following.

] sm plugins
"Admin File Reader" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC
"Admin Help" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC

"Player Commands" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC
"Reserved Slots" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC
"Sound Commands" (1.6.3) by AlliedModders LLC

Stats still dont work but I have removed all the errors. The issue with the previous error was due to all my messing around I had left a " out of the file basically on the port number.

So now I'm kinda back to square one and its not working but I have no cvar errors so there is progress at least.

[mcsadler]

That doesnt seem to do anything for me it just shows the loaded plugins like so

I tried a few variations on it but nothing seems to work

I even tried reload instead of load and it does the same thing

EDIT: I even tried adding that into the server.cfg file no errors just doesnt seem to load. No errors in any logs for it that I can see. sm plugins doesnt show it still either

EDIT 2: ok little more info I had a few plugins in the disabled folder I have moved these out of the disabled folder and put them in and they load fine and I can see them when I run the sm plugins command but l4d_stats doesnt work. It is designed to run on l4d2 correct and I am not being totally thick and grabbed the wrong one yea?

The plugins disabled by default are

admin-sql-prefetch.smx
admin-sql-threaded.smx
mapchooser.smx
nominations.smx
randomcycle.smx
rockthevote.smx
sql-admin-manager.smx

Didnt make any difference when these were in the plugin still wouldnt load
