Jazzman 10 Posted August 14, 2013 Hi Guys! I hope someone here can help me, with my ArmA3 Serverconfig. I run the DEV Build on my rented Server and i have a serverconfig on my webinterface that has the following (i believe correct steam ports) in it: steamPort = 8766; steamQueryPort = 27016; The problem is, that wether i use the webinterface or the direct ftp method, once i restart the server it overwrites those ports with the following: steamPort = 10721; steamQueryPort = 10722; So i constantly have the log file filled with error messages and the comment, that i shall fix my server config since i connect over those ports with all ip's. And i can't connect to the server. I am stuck at the openeing screen with Stratis showing and the last i see is that the group channel is starting. From that moment on nothing happens and once i hit escape i crash back to desktop and the game is terminated. No matter if i stop the server and only start the ftp or stop completely everything and overwrite it via webinterface..... all to no avail! Once the server is booted again the standard steam ports are overwritten with 10721 and 10722. I'm at a loss here and have grown a lot of grey hair over this. I really, really hope that someone here can help me. regards Jazzman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LondonLad 13 Posted August 14, 2013 I don't have an answer I'm afraid, other than suggest you contact your hosting provider for support. I run my own system(s) with full Remote Desktop (RDP) access and I'm able to change the steam ports without the issues you are experiencing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted August 14, 2013 I have no idea why the steam portsd are being reconfigured...... So easy fix Define the steam ports in the server.cfg as steamPort = 10721; steamQueryPort = 10722; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzman 10 Posted August 14, 2013 First of all, thanks for your answers Guys! I got a response from my Hosters Support and they say that it is from their Side, that the Ports are different and that i can not overwrite them. But they do not answer my question regarding the following Error Message i get from the logs. Maybe you know what it means and how i can possibly fix this: chmod()/fchmod() catching active ....................25390-10722: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 10722 on all IP Addresses! 25390-10721: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 10721 on all IP Addresses! 27196-10722: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 10722 on all IP Addresses! 27196-10721: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 10721 on all IP Addresses! 25390-34089: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 34089 on all IP Addresses! 27196-34089: Please fix your configuration! You are using port 34089 on all IP Addresses! This Logfile led me to the conclusion that it maybe because my Server's Steam Ports are running on those different Ports. Guess i was wrong, but what the hell shall i do about this message? Since one Week we can not use our Server, since we are stuck on loadscreen or in the Mission Lobby indefenitely or once escape is hit end up with crash to desktop. *sigh* One problem leads to another... :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LondonLad 13 Posted August 14, 2013 This is just a guess here, but I'm getting the feeling that there's more than 1 ARMA 3 server on that system, all of which are possibly being assigned the same Steam Ports?! If this is the case then I believe (as it was posted in a thread by one of the DEV's 'Dwarden', which I now can't find) that you need to define 'different' port numbers for steam ports against the number of A3 servers running off the same machine/IP Address. e.g. [same System/IP Address] A3 Server #1 - Steam Ports 10721 & 10722 A3 Server #2 - Steam Ports 10731 & 10732 A3 Server #3 - Steam Ports 10741 & 10742 etc and so on I'd go back to the hosting provider to ask whether this is the case. They would then need to setup different ports across the number of A3 servers using the same IP address (likely to be the same box). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzman 10 Posted August 14, 2013 Yeah that seems to be the case Londonlad! Since i can't change the ports (Hoster is blocking that) and exactly there forced on ports are part of this server message, it seems that they set up something wrong on their side, with all those other virtual servers. Just 20 min ago i simply received the message: "The server should be working fine now!" Without any further explanation. The Server is working indeed now, at least with Vanilla installation. But the log Message stays the same. Guess they fixed the problem on their side but do not want to admit it, in case i want recompensation for the lost 1 1/2 Weeks. Anyway, i am just happy that it works now! Thank you so much for trying to help me with this Lad & Terox! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
