Contra 10 Posted June 28, 2012 Hello everyone, sorry for yet another post on my failings as a server admin. ok so I tried to update my server with the latest beta patch by copying over the expansions folder from my client. in the process I did a small cleanup of additional mods I was not using on the server (bad idea I guess) the server was working fine before , but now it wont start, or at least its not showing up in the multyplayer browser. I've check the log and it seems to be getting an error, saying "Cannot start host on port 2302." any help would be appreciated, id rather not do a full wipe and reinstall, but I'm considering it. here is the log file WATCHDOG (3199): [Thu Jun 28 05:30:14 UTC 2012] Starting server (port 2302)...

killswitch 19 Posted June 28, 2012 Hello everyone, sorry for yet another post on my failings as a server admin. ok so I tried to update my server with the latest beta patch by copying over the expansions folder from my client. in the process I did a small cleanup of additional mods I was not using on the server (bad idea I guess) the server was working fine before , but now it wont start, or at least its not showing up in the multyplayer browser. I've check the log and it seems to be getting an error, saying "Cannot start host on port 2302." Most likely, there's already a server running on that port. Sometimes, "arma2server stop" doesn't actually stop a running Arma server. When the Arma server is running you'll find two processes related to it: The server itself ( For example a process named /home/armaserver/server/arma2co/a2oaserver ) The watchdog script ( Process name has something like "./arma2server watchdog" in it) If these two are not gone after you have run "./arma2server stop", kill them manually.
