map-server crashing after update.

[ShibouMae]

Been slowly working on my own server for the past week doing some little changes here and there to make sure the code was working properly. Today I went in to add some more equipment into the sql and saved everything and did the standard db update. None of my changes seemed to make it's way into the server so I ran another update on the server again but now my map-server on connection closes out immediately. I'm unsure what the issue could be whether it's something with a recent Virtual Studio update I performed before updating the server or completely unrelated.

If anyone can provide a thorough fix on what to do for someone who's still learning how to structure their own server it would be greatly appreciated.

@ShibouMae - I think that there are many who would be willing to provide specific answers to specific questions, but the scope of your ask is too broad. A "thorough fix on what to do" requires very specific information about your environment and server setup, which is beyond the scope of general discussion here.

If you're working on a relatively fresh build, you might consider scrapping your current codebase and starting a new project in VS. Clone the latest and re-deploy. The repo maintainers are very careful to ensure the code compiles correctly, which means issues are typically local to our own systems.
