@Wu_Jie

can you share your cluster.ini and both server.ini and also your both server_log.txt of server Overworld and Caves please

if possible use this website for share each logs:

Sorry,I don't know how to use http://pastebin.com/,and I upload the logs.

Thanks for helping.

@Wu_Jie

your Cave_server.ini is wrong

try with that:

[NETWORK]
server_port = 11001


[SHARD]
is_master = false
name = Caves


[STEAM]
master_server_port = 27019
authentication_port = 8769

do you have also worldgenoverride.lua in your server?

yes,I do have a worldgenoverride.lua in my Cave.

 

return {
    override_enabled = true,
    preset = "DST_CAVE",
}

[ToNiO55]

@Wu_Jie

put this in your worldgenoverride.lua for your Caves:

http://pastebin.com/raw/2ZdRhrQL

and don't forget also to try server.ini i give you

start your server and tell me if that's work or not

I edited my server.ini and worldgenoverride.lua . it worked,but after I shut it down and restart.It's still not working and still have id=XXXX  after name=Caves.The server still get stuck at Caves:  [00:00:25]: [Shard] Slave is waiting for LUA...

[ToNiO55]

@Wu_Jie

how you start your server?

[Wu_Jie]

Thanks for your help.I did the wrong setup and I can start the server now.

Thank you so much.

Hey there.

I was running into the same problem. Did all the steps suggested, line by line, and it kept stopping at "Waiting for LUA".

Turns out Amazon's AWS Micro Server doesn't have enough memory for both processes (Master + Caves). Upgrading to Small Server seemed to solve this problem, but we had spikes of lag during memory/processor intense moments (e.g.: hound attacks). We're currently using the Medium Server.

@ToNiO55 @255 do you have info on recommended memory/processor for dedicated servers? We seem to have spikes of lag on critical moments, and the memory demand seems to always rise. Does a client or server reconnect lower this demand? Is there a spec (bandwith, processor, memory, HDD space) that is known to handle a 4-player campaign long-term?

(We're currently on AWS, but we'll probably move to Digital Ocean to lower costs a bit. We also create a snapshot of the server and terminate it after each session, so we don't pay for a 24/7 server at the end of the month. If anyone is interested, I can make a more detailed post explaining how to do the setup on Amazon or Digital Ocean).

Thanks,

[ToNiO55]

Hi @TheGreatMav

i recommand 3GB for memory and if possible good CPU as I7 or Xeon or CPU with 2.5 or 3Ghz

because dedicated server on don't starve together don't support multithreading, and you need good CPU for that

check also opinion of my friend Gingerbread:

if you search guide for make your dedicated server, check my guide:
