Can't log in on Everything Server

[Laus]

Hi out there!

I'm using Everything v 1.5 on two W10 machines. One has set up an Everything Server. The other one is using this network index.
This used to work fine until I updated Everything to version 15.0.1383 on the machine that it using the index. From that moment I found a "Can't login" message in the Options. However, most of the work with Everything is done in background using python scripts and I need to check if the served index is up date or outdated. How can this be done with the Everything SDK?

Thanks for reading, Laus

BTW. After updating Everything on the server too it's running nicely again, but is still would like to make my scripts more robust.

Are you running the Everything Server as a normal program on the server?
Did you logout on the server? -This would close the Everything Server.

-or-

Are you running the Everything Server as a service?
There is an issue in 1383a with saving the database to disk when using the Everything Server as a service.
The Everything Server might be busy rebuilding your index and not responding to clients.
Did you restart your server?
Please give Everything a few minutes to reindex.



I have put on my TODO list to add an Everything_IsNetworkIndexOnline("host-or-IP") API to the SDK.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, there's Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> Network Indexes -> Online
Another idea is to create a file on the server and check the Online property for this file.

Hi void!

Yes, I'm running it as as a service on both machines. And yes, after upgrading Everything on the server it was restarted of course.
Thanks for the work around, I should have thought of that myself

Thanks again, Laus
