"The server has stopped" immediately on login

Vine
1

Hi,

I’ve been using Vine server in a long while now, and today, several hours ago, the server just stopped working.

My system is OS X 10.5.8. I’m not aware of the OS trying to update itself and thus causing a problem.
I was using Vine 3.0, but have now migrated to 3.11 in the hope of resolving this somehow.

The server works in a standalone mode (ie, not as “System Server”). Once the connection is established, it shows the following message:
“The server has stopped running. See Log (10)”. The log file doesn’t reveal anything to help.

I tried using different ports, I tried to disable/enable any option. I’ve tried several different clients - RealVNC, Chicken, UltraVNC - they all crash the server upon connection. The OS “Screen Sharing” does work though.

Below is the log; your help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Ofir

BTW, if I want to reset the server (ie, to completely remove it and reset it’s previous settings) - what files do I need to delete?

Please try downloading the 3.12 beta which corrects that problem.

You can remove preferences by deleting the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.redstonesoftware.VineServer.plist

You can delete the program files from:
/Applications
/Library/ApplicationSupport/VineServer/
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.redstonesoftware.VineServer.plist
/Library/StartupItems/OSXvnc/

Thanks for your post, I will try to delete the application and reinstall.

The link that you provided for the beta version leads to a sort-of-error page, which says “We’ve redesigned our site.” and forwards to the main page.

I’ll keep you posted with my progress.

Whoops! Ok download link is fixed.

Hi,

I tried to delete the preferences plist file, I tried the new 3.12Beta, I tried removing all previous application files (per the list you have provided). It appears like clean re-installs (ie, my password and port settings are reset), but unfortunately - no go, I cannot connect to the Vine server, I keep getting the “See Log (10)” error.

Version 3.12 has “Restart server if stops unexpectedly” on by default, but once I remove that option, I’m back in “The server has stopped running. See Log (10)” again.

How should I proceed from here?

There should be a crash log in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter please post that file here to the forums as an attachment.
