5.8.6 crashed on site commands.

[JoC]

Once I upgraded to 5.8.6 io crashes on all site commands even the default ones like swho.

So I donwloaded a fresh 5.8.0 and only edited the Hosts.Rules file to enable connect, then i updated to 5.8.6. It still crashes on every site command eg. site swho.

So I guess it must be a conflict with something running on my comp but 5.8.5 works without a problem.
I have IIS + PHP + MYSQL server running on the same comp, if one of them might be in conflict. But I did try to end all running processes that I could but it didnt help.

OS: WinXP PRO SP2 SWE

Anyone got any idea?

[oldhouse]

Same here.

[esmandil]

I have observed the same behavior -- clean ini, 5.8.0 and 5.8.5 run just fine, 5.8.6 crashes on every site command (file upload and download work just fine, though).

Edit: Windows XP Proffessional, SP1, English

oldhouse, esmandil: What OS, versions and lang ?

[zpr]

586r works fine here, no crash on site cmds

got crash only when user is locked, so site kick nor !login helps neither...

[JoC]

So only 3ppl having this problem then, sucks not to be able to use the latest version.

Maybe _panic_ used reference to a Windows DLL that are different between diff. versions of Windows. This happened with shared memory for example.

Turns out it isnt just site commands that causes io to crash. I can login but when i tried to go to the MP3 dir io crashed.

Mmm, thats sounds suspiciously like the > 4kb .ioftpd bug re-raising its head.
Delete the .ioFTPD file from that dir and test again, see if it crashes still.
Also is there a crash file produced in system root?
Lets hope its not that :/

[JoC]

Nope deleting the .ioftpd file didnt help.
So it's not the 4kb bug.

do you have a crash file or anything in the ioftpd.log?

that is a good suggestion. i used US windows xp to compile 5.8.6r.

[tuff]

panic

would it be possible to compile a debug version, writing everything to some log, would make life a hell of a lot easier to find these random bugs with 5.8.6r

[JoC]

do you have a crash file or anything in the ioftpd.log?

No, sorry. There is nothing in the logs.

I get up a crash window that wants to report the error to M$, dunno if there is anything in there that might help u trace it down?

[GILLIS902]

i have this same problem, site crashes on every command.

it might be related, it might not be related at all, but it looks like i've got a minor configuration problem on the build host i used to compile ioftpd 5.8.6r. i'm going to both move which build host i use for releases, as well as try to recreate this problem on an XP, SP2, english release of windows.

/me crosses fingers

[JoC]

If you need me to test some alpha/beta builds or whatever just let me know. Since I got the problem I can say right away if it is fixed. :)

... same here..

perhaps because some Script Issue? (I use current ioBanana & ioA)

Windows XP SP2, German, io as Service

deleting .ioftpd files didn't help.. no log entry... only a crash ;)

5.8.5r works fine

[JoC]

... same here..

Probebly not, I installed a clean install and got the same with the default commands.
So guess we will have to live with 5.8.5 for the time being. :9

[oldhouse]

Exactly we have to stick to 5.8.5 until this issue is fixed.
On my pc too io crashed with a clean install.

[FTPServerTools]

Now it would be good if you guys noted down the error address and see if they are the same. This way it is a lot eaier to track the bug.

[tuff]

as ive posted in the 5.8.6r bug thread, $args is being lost (on certain DELE file.txt) this could also be happening with other scripts/events

be nice if the scripters here took the time to debug and see if thats the case

[JoC]

Seems like site users and site groups works but all other commands internal or custom fails.
ioFTPD.exe crashed at offset 0002c092

I don't think this is caused by missing $args (it could be related, though) -- on my machine ioFTPD crashes for a simple TCL script like this:
iputs "abcd"
called with "site esmTest" when I have "esmTest = TCL ..\scripts\esmTest.itcl" in ioftpd.ini

On the other hand, an equally simple esmTest2.bat:
@echo "abcd"
works just fine

When io crashes, the exact error message is:
The exception Illegal Instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction.
(0xc000001d) occurred in the application at location 0x0042c092

FTPServerTools:Now it would be good if you guys noted down the error address and see if they are the same. This way it is a lot eaier to track the bug.

Good guess here :) It does indeed seem that both me and JoC experience the crash occuring in the same place... _panic_, does this tell you anything?

it does tell me that esmTest.itcl is a much easier way to recreate this problem!

this is very neat actually, since i should be able to add something like this to the regression framework, figure out what code is lurking at 0x0002c092 and zap what is likely a dangling pointer there.

thanks much, i'll get rolling on this!

esm, add the global args ; iputs "$args" to check IF $args is being lost, would be much easier to rule it out after testing it, than simply ignoring it and guessing it aint the problem cause it aint there

I would happily try the < global args ; iputs "$args" > script... but it crashes just like the other one ::shrug:: No idea how can I test if args are set up correctly.

The best I can do is try to access those from *.bat file:

@echo 1: %1 2: %2 3: %3 4: %4 5: %5
@echo x: %FLAGS% %PWD% %USER%


called as "site esmtest3bat aa bb cc" seems to work just fine:

200-1: aa 2: bb 3: cc 4: 5:

[Elladan]

... anything changed here in .7r?

[tuff]

there is a readme in the customer portal/download section

[Elladan]

this release fixes the security issue related to leaking account information.

OK doesn't seem so... I didn't see the readme link.. THX

[oldhouse80]

Nothing changed for scripts. Still crashing on site who and every other script command :(

[_panic_]

no, site commands are still broken. this just fixes the login account sniffing.

yep, haven't address those yet.

Hope you had a nice Xmas.

Any ETA on a fixed version of 5.8.x ?

5 months since I reported about this error, can we expect to see a working version of ioftpd with the 4kb crash bug fixed any time soon?
