I have been following the Christian Richards Photon Server Framework tutorial for quite a bit now, fixing errors here and there. I have came across something that doesn't even throw an error, yet it's not doing what it should be. At the end of the tutorial (photon episode 14), Christian shows us that the sub server should be registered and showing in the logs. When i build my project, then open it up with the photon control, the logs show everything but that. The logs throw no errors, but do not display what they should be. For example, the Proxy log SHOULD be saying that it received a register request but it doesn't, as well as the Login saying that 'there is no existing response handler'.

ComplexServer Log:

So it is clearly evident this or more of a logic error in my code, opposed to a syntax. I've tried so many things to try and figure this out but nothing has worked. I had re-watched the video 2-3 times and still nothing. If anyone has any idea or can point me in the right direction that'd be great!

Cheers, Devon.

I wasn't able to respond to your question on the YouTube video, but found your post here.

So the problem you hit is something I didn't realize I did until later in the series. I mystically missed using a duplicate class. The issue is that I created 2 ServerEventCode, ServerParameterCode and ServerOperationCode classes. One is in ComplexServer and the other in SubServerCommon. If you look at the ServerOperationCode file, the one in SubServerCommon is the only one the Login server can use and it is set to OpCode 0. The one in ComplexServer is set to 1.

My recommendation is to go ahead and delete the ones in Complex Server (just delete the whole "Codes" folder), rebuild the project and set all references to the SubServerCommon version so they always match. There is a video later where I do the same thing, you'll just have done it a few videos in advance.

  • Unfortunately I have restarted my project, as I didn't think i'd get any help with this error. I am back at the simple server, client connects properly, the service starts, but, there is no Simple.log file anywhere. I have re-checked my PhotonApplication class, making sure the log setup was correct. I rebuilt the project, made sure all references were correct and still nothing. I made sure to check other folders within the Photon server folder just in case the log was somewhere else, but it wasn't. Right now, I'm not sure if I should continue trying to fix this or wait for your new MMO series. – devon t Jul 28 '15 at 23:30
  • The biggest thing that was tripping up other people with the log is that in the application class definition, the log location must match, case-sensitive, the same name in the log4net.config – CJR Gaming Jul 29 '15 at 16:09
  • Yeah i figured it out. For some reason, when I added the log4net.config into my project then rebuilt it, it wouldn't transfer to the directory in photon, so it wasn't actually even making the logs yet. :) Thanks for getting me back up and running, I have started the login module to hopefully get past the error I posted above. – devon t Jul 29 '15 at 16:19
  • Ok so i finished the login module. Everything is working. I did what you said by removing the codes folder in complex server. It then threw errors saying that all those values were gone, so I re-added them to the enum's in SubServerCommon, and it fixed it all. I am finally receiving the 'no existing handler' message from the logs. I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to help me with this error. I have been struggling with it for almost 2 weeks now, but finally got it. Really appreciate it. – devon t Jul 29 '15 at 18:22
