Second server i.e. cluster server crashing with 'NullPointerException'

[tealc 149]

I am trying to set up a second server to connect to our existing server, have gone through the wiki tutorial which was great help. First server works fine and has been for ages, loading up the second server with the Adventure database and I get the following error:

That's a really unhelpful error message, my best guess is there maybe a database issue with kingdoms, but where it is and how to fix it I have no idea.

Could you post the whole server log, there might be something that causing the error earlier in the log

This error has now been resolved, seems it was actually a DB issue. I re-downloaded the server, re-applied the previous settings and eh-voila it came up. Just have to figure out why it cant contact login server now

[bigsteve 378]

1. Make sure all Ports are unique for each server.
2. make sure USE_INCOMING_RMI=true is in the wurm.ini

3. and the IP address for Local and Neighbour Have to be set in a certain way

Local Server:

External IP must be IP address of the network card

Internal IP must be the loop back address, 127.0.0.1

Server neighbor:

External IP must be IP address of your internet connection

Internal IP must be the loop back address, 127.0.0.1

Thanks Steve, yes these are all the settings I have set, will do some more investigation tomorrow.
