kacars crashed

[mischka]

Hello

I got the following error message the other day (see screenshot) and then kacars crashed.

Any idea what could be the matter?

I had a similar issue some time ago which took down my fsx completely and afterward kacars didnt work any more - had to reinstall it and, as I later found out, remove profile files which the uninstaller had left behind

Your website lost connections with MySQL, that's why the kACARS couldn't continue to send the data. Just click on continue and your flight will be okay.

If this issue keeps going on, this is something that has to be taken a look at with your host.

[Guest lorathon]

What Kyle has stated looks to be correct. Thanks Kyle.

[mischka]

Happened to me again today, the only problem is that I can't click on continue at all.

Looks like an unhandled exception to me ... maybe something to look at for the next release?

[Guest lorathon]

What is the unhandled exception code?

[mischka]

I don't know.. I suppose that info will show when I click on the details button, but all those buttons are locked.

[Guest lorathon]

I need the info under details or I can not find the issue.

[mischka]

Ok, next time it crashes I'll try to get those data!

[mischka]

happened again tonight... below is the debug info

funny enough acars kept tracking so nothing lost

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

[Guest lorathon]

Are you running two copies of the program at the same time? Other than that I am not sure how this could happen.

[mischka]

Not that I know of... at least not actively tracking. It might be that I accidentally started two instances, but I only ever use one of them to track the flight.

[Guest lorathon]

The reason why I said this was because of the actual error.

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files\FS-Products\kACARS_Free\receive.xml' because it is being used by another process.

I do not think it is possible for kACARS to attempt to open it twice. I may be wrong and will take a look.

Maybe the file got locked or something? Maybe it didnt close it properly, or another process locked it..

I may consider giving an antivirus exclusion a try

[Guest lorathon]

That's not a bad idea. Let me know.

[Jeff]

Run your Task Manager and see if there is another kacars processing that you might not be aware of.

[mischka]

That's not a bad idea. Let me know.

This seems to have helped a great deal! I've had this error just once since I made an exclusion on the program directory.
