Mumble server crashes

[checooh]

Hello!

I've got a problem with my Mumble server on CentOS 5 VDS. It worked ok about 3 months, but today it started to crash after about 5 min. working. Some users log in (it doesn't depend on users number), and after a while it stops working. murmurd.log says following:

When I try to run it from console with -fg parameter it says the same, plus when it crashes, it says "Killed". Server is VDS, and dmesg doesn't show anything at all, other log files don't contain anything relevant.

I have the same problem on the VDS Centos 6. Reinstall the server and restore the database from an earlier backup yielded no result.

I tried reinstalling and upgrading to 1.2.3 too, with the same result. VDS technical support said that "OS killed the service, because it requested too much resources." and that "This software won't work on VDS." They even didn't want to listen that it worked ok for a long time. For me, the solution was to replace murmurd with Teamspeak server. Maybe there are settings to limit resource demand for murmurd?

strange that the problem began on the same day, May 5. Prior to that server worked two years without interruption.

Will you run into the same issue with Teamspeak two years (or less) from now?

Perhaps it's time to look for a different service provider, or to look at getting a low-end dedicated server instead of a virtual server. An Atom server should be more than powerful enough to handle a single Mumble server, and you should be able to find one for around $40/month.

"This software won't work on VDS."

Well, on *their* VDS.

If they put in such restrictive limits its not a hoster for gamers who want quality and low latency …
