We could use this thread for posting about Llamaserver troubles, kindly asking Llamabeast for help and so on.

Also it might make life easier for Llama as he can just post in here if there is something going on that he wants to share with us, instead of posting a new topic every time or replying to individual game threads when the post applies to everyone.

Seems it stopped updating 15 minutes ago, at around 20:52 GMT, and all games have disappeared.

Still something wrong with llamaserver, I send my turn last night, the server got it and sent a new turn. Then the turn changed but it didn't update the 2h-file status. And it still hadn't updated the status 12 hours from submitting and only changed the 2h-status after I sent the next turn file in.

Nothing critical, just weird.

I think my internet keeps on cutting out. It's ridiculous and makes me very annoyed but I'm not sure what one can do as a British internet customer apart from be frustrated. Pretty much all the ISPs are notoriously bad.

As for there being apparently no active games - every time the server updates the website, it uploads the list of games to the webserver (they're separate machines, which is why the website is always up). Momentarily the list of games is wiped as it's replaced by the new one. Perhaps the upload got interrupted at the critical moment.

what did you code the server in? I might be able to help.
[Maerlande] Because it was a smart idea. Soyweiser was right.

Perl. The guy was creating new games with naughty stuff in some of the fields, stuff like "; cat ../../../etc/passwd". I saw a lot of them fail (obviously it was automated cos there were lots), I don't know whether any succeeded because the server only emails me when commands fail.

I think what I need to do is just verify all the fields on the web forms, i.e. check that game names only contain letters and numbers, and so on. Sounds like a big faff though. If I were to do it myself I'd write bits of code along with regular expressions for every single field. Presumably there's an easier way.

I don't know if perl has it, but there are some languages/server software that has commands to automatically escape certain characters. This prevents a lot of these attacks. So the only thing you should do is use this function, or write one yourself, and filter all input through this function.

Input validation or data validation it is called. Basically step one in securing your website. (Adequate logging is another one). Ideally you want to log all incoming commands. (Don't forget to input validate the log files btw, I have heard of attacks on log files).

Just found and fixed bug which was causing llamaserver to occasionally halt (without telling me). Symptom for players: games refusing to host.

Thanks llamabeast.

I changed the topic and original post of this thread to make it a general one about llamaserver and it's status. Is this a good thing for you Llama?

llamaserver doesn't update my pretender status for some reason. I've send the pretender a few times, gotten confirmations but it doesn't show it on the game status page.

Also some games just don't host though are 2h files are received. For example old kings.

No hurry, just putting the problem in a thread here.

How frequently it should process turns?

Seems Aftermath2 is frozen
