ben_sherman 1 Posted November 9, 2013 Hi there, So I've been struggling with my WIP mission for so long now to get it to work on my VPS host as it performs better on a dedicated server then if I host it and test it out with a few friends, anyhow a while ago I ran some test missions on the VPS just to see how it performs there and I can say it works really really great, so here comes the part where it doesn't work at all. Here are my list of what I've done so far. Checked all permissions so their 755 or 777. Ran the install script to set all files and folders in lowercased letters. Re-write the launch script as it uses mods. Checked server logs. The problem is that it's still now launching the server correct, as when I click continue after I choosed my character I supose to cache the mission, it states "Retrieving Mission File: 1/38560" just en example and then it stops, if you wait long enough you loose connection and go in again and still same problem. After vewing the log files it turns out that the server is restarting itself. I'm pretty much stuck now and I've been going over server guides, other peoples topics simular to mine, I've checked other websites and here for the past 2 hours and still nothing. So now I'm asking for all help I can get. I'll be sending all logs, launch script, config and so on, maybe you have a clue what it can be or why it's not working. Thanks to everyone who is looking at this thread and take the time to help me! log.txt Sorry was to big so I couldn't post it without uploading it some where.

ben_sherman 1 Posted November 12, 2013 Maybe to obvious but, what's the mission name? Linux server don't allow UppErCase Letters or s p ac e in file name... Nah, it shouldn't effect in game, the "Mission Everest RPG v1.1.3 read from bank." is the mission title not the file name itself so that shouldn't effect it still haven't figured this out yet but thanks though!
