Server starting then stopping on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS

[papalozarou 0]

Have clean installed 3.5.2.0 after fully removing apt-get installed 3.3.x version which worked perfectly.

 

I now start the server, but it either quits after a few seconds, or quits after a few minutes:

I've attached the log file as well.

Access to the path '/proc/net/route' is denied

Yea one other user has reported this. I haven't yet figured that out, but it would appear there is some configuration on the machine that is blocking our access to that file. 

 

Unfortunately the error is happening in such a way that it can't caught and handled, and that's why the server crashes.

Is my only option to go back down to 3.3.x then?

It's a root:root file system file, bizarre that this access violation would appear in an update.  If I have some time today I'll dig around.

I did a clean install after reading a few threads that suggested that i should if moving from one method of install to another.

 

Also, oddly, subsequent attempts to start the server, whilst resulting in it dying seconds later, don't have the same output in the logs – they appear to stop abruptly with no decernable error (I can't post it right now as in work and don't have server access unfortunately)
