pzserver says it's running when it's not

[fmossri]

Hi, first of all, thank you greatly for your valuable work! your app is wonderful and solves most needs I had with my server. I'm kinda new to linux and coding, and I ran into a problem that I got me stuck. I'm running your app to run my server on a gcloud VM with ubuntu 20.04 LTS I installed the game server following the instructions from pzserver github page. I set an automatic reset for this morning, but when I woke up the server was down, and no proccess was running on the VM. I tried to use pzserver start, but it returns that pzserver is already running. When I try restart/stop/quit/kill it says there's none running. I unistalled and installed again, but the problem persists. I ran the debug code you posted previously, and it generated a troubleshooting file that I don't know how to interpret. Do you have any idea what can be happening to my server? :/ please help :( troubleshoot_20231024_125133.log

I've came to the conclusion that the server stop was caused due to a typo in a workshop item. Yet, I still wanted to understand what happened to make it respond like this, and how could I solve this without rebooting...

Hello, yes this is a known issue. I haven't been able to fix it yet because I'm not able to reproduce the bug reliably. I made some attempts to work around the problem on the develop branch but it's not 100% effective. If you're willing to try it out and send feedback, you can try to switch to the develop branch by running the following command:

pzst update develop

In case you're willing to switch back to the main branch, simply run:

pzst update main
