Dedicated Server does not show Missions

[Tenoji 1]

The server was patched to 1.62 two days ago on the 24th. Barring a few hiccups here and there with mods used on the server, it ran fine up until last night around 9pm est I think, not 100% sure when the issue started. From what I was told, there was massive lag on the server, then it went down. Since then the server has not been displaying any of the missions on it, and it sometimes leaves you stuck at 'wait for host'. I've tried running vanilla with no mods, and i still can't select any missions. As far as I know, everything is perfectly up to date and no files have been removed or changed since the patch was applied. 4 mods were added, but the server was running fine for about 5 hours afterwards before it went down.

Here is the server.cfg file currently on the server (with a few things omitted). and i had to completely remove the links in it since its my first post.

You might look at the .rpt file to see if it gives you any clues as to why it happened.

I am having the same issue. I am using linux however. I have the mission pbos in the MPMissions Dir. Any help would be welcome. I just migrated over from using windows Dedicated server so this is a bit new to me.

[Wulvgar 1]

are you using a .cfg file with something like this

class Missions
{
       class CanBeAnything   // name for the mission, can be anything
       {
               template = "takilifecivilwar.takistan"; // omit the .pbo suffix
               difficulty = "regular";                 // difficulty: recruit, regular, veteran & mercenary as specified in *.Arma2profile
           //    param1 = 2;  // dress
             //  param2 = 26; // age
             //  class Params
              // {
               //  Name = 2;
               // WorkPlace = 0;
               // Friend = 1;
            // };
       };
};
