Hi,

The server seems to have been running fine until i've changed the port from 8080. It works but then after a few hours it crashes with the following errors? Any ideas whats going on?

Yep, I don't think its port related anymore. I changed the port back and have also tried the WebUI v0.380 WIP but its still occuring. I think there must be a bug in the build.

Do you find it occurs when you have disk thrashing?

I'd like to identify any common configuration parameters, operating system, OS deployment (e.g., native, VM, jail), hardware configuration among you that are seeing this fault.

Every release is run in a high-demand environment for at least 4 days as part of acceptance testing. The tests I'm running for every release are not encountering this problem, so I'd like to know under what conditions this problem occurs so I can reproduce it to fix it, and regression test for it in the future.

Hi mcdonald,

Running on Physical Hardware. Only common thing i can see so far is we are all running debian based Linux with the following C Libraries.

The stress test machines have 2.12.1-0ubuntu10 version of libraries. The releases are built on Ubuntu, and those releases are unit, system, and stress tested. A Debian build is built on a VM running Debian, and run through unit and short-term system testing, but not long-term stress testing.

Hello,

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but it doesn't look like it's debian related. I'm having the same problem and running Gentoo. I also can't find a pattern with the crashing. It can happen while downloading, seeding only, using the web interface, not using the web interface (at night while asleep), etc. It can also happen any time from 5 minutes to 24 hours after starting.

Anything else I can do to provide more crash info?

Debian Lenny is the current stable release. Would it be too much trouble to get you to run up a lenny VM and test?

I've found that the segfault also occurs when there are no torrents running.

I just launched a Debian Lenny VM and am running the server under the debugger. I'm running the server without any torrents since it is simpler and takes less of my time and you said it's possible to see a SEGV with no torrents. I'll let it sit for a day or so to see if this setup shows the problem. If not, I'll try some torrents.

I likewise will confirm. I have seen the same segfault on an OpenSUSE 11.3 system.

The daemon stayed up all night (no http access or torrents running). I have just rebooted as suggested above as the server had an uptime of over 300 days :) Ill let you know how it goes.

I have set the configuration via the gui. Is there a way to export it? I tried to cat the settings.dat but its not easily readable

Thanks.

It hasn't happened before but I think it may have started happening after I installed an update for libc or something that looked like it. Not sure though.

EDIT: is there any way in linux (ubuntu server) to restart µTorrent after it terminates from a segfault, so I won't have to do it myself after hours of 'downtime'?

You might want to try monit http://mmonit.com/monit/

There was a package available for my system, I just needed to configure the control file, tell it to look for includes in /etc/monit.d/ and then added a file for utserver. Here's my current file to monitor the service. It could probably be tweaked, your post reminded me of reading about this program, so this is my first try at using it. Alter paths as you need for your local setup.

cat /etc/monit.d/utserver
check process utserver with pidfile /var/run/utserver/utserver.pid
start program "/etc/init.d/utserver start"
stop program "/etc/init.d/utserver stop"
if failed port 8080 type tcp then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

Hope this is useful!

PS: Some useful info here to config the program. http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html I found I needed something similar to the example config here to allow access to the monitoring webui: http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#monit_httpd_authentication

What parameters are you setting in your configuration file?

All my settings were configured via the gui (no utserver.conf). Is there a way to dump them out?

Most options are still default, except I use port 8888. I also haven't messed with the "advanced" settings.

Hi... I have been having this issue as well, over the past few days. It does NOT just effect Debian based distros, debian based distros are just the most popular :P

I am running this on a high speed network with a lot of torrents in it. It crashes after only an hour so of being started, and appears to need a reboot to work correctly after that. Incredibly annoying (but beta software, etc).

Let me know if there is anything else I need to post.

Let me know if there is anything else I need to post.

I've been running utserver on a Debian Lenny VM since yesterday and no crashes (no torrents either, but one user reported they saw a crash when no torrents were active).

How about if everyone seeing this problem does the following:

1. set the logmask setting in the configuration files to 0xFFFFFFFF

2. set the -logfile option to generate a log file (specify a location large enough to handle a large log file)

3. run utserver (as daemon or not)

4. wait for a crash

5. look at (near the end of) the log file for anything interesting and post it if so

Maybe we will see some common internal activities occurring immediately before the crash.

I will work on a new release so that utserver incorporates any recent fixes in the main code line.

Here is the log output after the crash occurs:

uTorrent is still running after this, however I cannot access the web UI. I was hoping it would fully crash so I could grab a core dump, but no such luck.

edit: dmesg output this time is slightly different, but doubtfully related

edit 2: after running tail on the logfile, it is still running (actively transferring files). but the WebUI is inaccessible. I don't think this is what normally happens (when I check after the segfault, every other time the process is not running).

Hi,

reboot seems to fix it for a while. but then it starts crashing again. I have a basic setup with no conf file at the moment so i cannot set the logmask but i am now recording the log file.

Another quick question, should i manually set the disk cache to 3GB or should i leave the caching to the linux kernel. Currently the system is using about 300MB of memory and has about 3.7GB of cached memory.

I am having the exact same issue as these guys. uTorrent randomly segfaults. I thought it was my browser on the page constantly refreshing but even with nothing viewing the http page it still crashes. Sometimes after a day ... sometimes after an hour. It seems the more busy utorrent is the more this issue comes up.

I never once had any issues with it untill debian did a libc update. Im thinking that the libc is incompatable. Running monit to monitor the service and restart it is definitely a temp fix but sometimes I have some pretty big torrents and @ 450MHz it takes awhile to check them after a hard stop like that.

Hopefully we can get this fixed :) utorrent for linux works excellent on my local network. I would hate to have to figure something else out.

Here's the final output of strace when it crashed. If you need the entire log, or want me to run traces in different ways, let me know. Below was run as daemon only, no other switches.

It ran for 22 minutes and 46 seconds before segfaulting. Freshly rebooted standalone server.
