Having complications with forge essentials?

I am not 100% sure if I am the only one having this issue but I thought I would bring this up. I have launched with the 3 different version and have had the same issues.

Here is my launch logs with just sponge and forge… - http://pastebin.com/dQjKf7PW

Could you explain what exactly doesn’t work and provide used versions of Forge, Sponge and FE?
I assume Forge 1515 and Sponge 677?
Did you download Sponge Main or release jar? Release won’t work as expected.

Sponge - 1.8-1515-2.1DEV-677 - I downloaded the Main
Forge Essentials - forgeessentials-1.8-1.8.0.21-server.jar
Forge - forge-1.8-11.14.3.1515-universal.jar

The server is not fully starting and stops loading once it gets to where it shows in the log. That is a full launch log. It will never load.

For the record I have tried of the latest FE jars and get the same issue…

Looks like something broken in ForgeEssentials’ database config.
Try going into the config file, (I think it’s in {root}/config/ForgeEssentials) and change the key DB_url (under PlayerLogger) from ForgeEssentials/playerlogger to ./ForgeEssentials/playerlogger

OT: I like the fact that your server is called “Mod Me Please” ^^

That appears to have worked like a charm. What is odd is when I ran FE on its own it did just fine. Well what ever. I will do further tests with it and let you know how it goes!

Haha thanks! I was trying to come up with a corny server name figured that would work heh

Are you sure this is the latest FE build?
I think i’ve seen newer builds somewhere.

Great!
What’s happening is FE and Sponge both use h2database (the database engine), but FE uses an old version (from 2014) and Sponge uses the latest one. The server is running the later one and there were some changes to h2 which broke FE.

I have created an issue on ForgeEssentials

With the latest update on a fresh server this is the logs I have for it. - http://pastebin.com/Uc8Btmhe
This appears to be an entirely different issue which may need looking at
Here is a log after running fe by its self then restarting the server with sponge - http://pastebin.com/vNpZbW5y

This is all on the latest update of FE

Thanks for the update how ever I am still having issues…

Ah the LinkageError again
I believe it’s an issue with Forge, I have a PR which should fix the issue, but there isn’t a way to obtain a fixed version just yet.

So is there a current fix out there for this?
If there isn’t I will switch back to that older version and use it as it appeared to work for me.

It worked same for me for the older version but the new version of FE i have same problem xS
And also i wanted to ask is this should happen when i start FE and sponge 677? http://prntscr.com/8n4bkb

TBH that screenshot’s a fat load of good.

Can you paste your fml-server-latest.log?

Interesting. That server window shouldn’t show up when Sponge is running, as Sponge disables it by default for performance reasons. Sponge uses the CLI by default.

Yap that whats wierd and confused me :S
