[0.17.2] Server cannot start due to bad migration

[ElGaucho]

Started a server locally - everything works fine. Transferred this file to the hoster of my server (nitrado), and server logs report this issue:

Have created this map locally with 0.17.2 update and uploaded the map to the server. Any clues whats going on here?

[orzelek]

Please make sure that server that errors out has no leftover migrations from previous versions of Factorio.
(Updater is a lazy af and doesn't delete files apaprently).

I've got the same issue at Nitrado and logged a ticket there. Have you managed to fix it?

[wakelicious]

Okay, fixed it myself. On the server, go to /factorioexperimental/base/migrations and delete everything that isn't 0.17 related.
Do the same on your own computer /steamapps/factorio/data/base/migrations (otherwise you can't join the server itself)

That fixed it for me. (so not only Nitrado is lazy, Factorio's updater apparently keeps older files somehow)

[kovarex]

This is weird, because migrations older than 0.16 aren't in the install package anymore. I suspect a problem in the manual transferring of the files somehow.

You can safely remove any migrations of 0.15 and older. (0.16 should still be kept as long as you want to load older 0.16 saves properly.)

[ElGaucho]

Thanks, will try later and post back if that resolved my issue.

[ElGaucho]

Worked, removed all migrations of 0.15 and below, restarted server and it came back up. Thanks for you assistance!

Hello,

I have the same issue.

Indeed, after deleting every files in migration directory, everything is fine.

However, the migration scripts come back every single update.
So my server won't start itself after updates.

I use LinuxGSM to keep the server updated.

Any ideas ?
