Missing 20 chips after moving server data files
Posted: Tue May 27, 2025 1:55 pm
After I migrated my server to a new host, I noticed something strange.
On the date that I migrated the data files (which I did by simply copying the entire Poker Mavens 7 directory to the new server), I see the following messages in the error log and event log (XXX and YYY are account names, which I removed):
Error Log:

2025-04-17 18:33:35|Account|YYY +10 balance 142.65 (Crash Recovery)
2025-04-17 18:33:35|Account|YYY crash recovery from Weekly (TReg) 2025-04-17 18:32:51
2025-04-17 18:33:35|House|Tourney -10 balance -20 (Crash recovery from Weekly)
I am assuming this is because the two players had pre-registered for a tournament, and after I copied the data files over, the system treated it as a crash recovery. It credited those two players 10 chips each, but I don't see anything in the Chip Transaction Log that shows that they ever registered for a tournament that week. And I only ever have one tournament at a time active, so it's not like they could have registered two or three weeks ahead of time but I did check back a couple weeks in the transaction log, just to be sure.
The end result is that my player balances are off 20 chips and I'm still showing -20 chips in tourneys, even now, over a month later (none of my tournaments currently have any players registered) and I can't figure out how to manually correct it.
I could probably just ignore this, but I keep a spreadsheet history of every transaction and so now my spreadsheet doesn't match the system, which bugs me.
Any suggestions?
