redshirt_ensign 11 Posted March 19, 2014 Define "all the ports are open" ... Where is the server? A dedicated? VPS? Home network? Is it on a private IP (10.* 192.* etc) and behind a NAT device? If so have you forwarded _all_ the required ports? Any reason why you are using 2305 and not the default of 2302? When you say "remote" you are talking about putting the IP directing into "Remote" search of in-game multiplayer browser? (which should work regardless of Gamespy working) On linux what is you IPTABLES setup? (run "iptables -L -vn") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kazenokizu 10 Posted March 20, 2014 dedicated aka server computer in a data center. changed ports from 2302 to 2305 to see if that would get it to work it did not plan on changing it back. and no the ip tables are not setup i saw some thing about that before but i quickly dismissed it as sounded unneeded . and when i saw remote i mean clicking remote in game and putting in the ip and the port. to see it show up there. like you said which should work regardless or gamespy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redshirt_ensign 11 Posted March 25, 2014 Sorry mate I was away from home for a few days there. You may not have setup iptables but it would be better to see an output from "iptables -L -vn" to check if there are any pre-configured rules in place that you are not aware of. You did not answer my question about the IP address(es) of the server. Is it a private or public IP? Are there multiple IPs? (output of "ifconfig" would show this) Are you sure the server is starting properly? Can we see some of the RPT log (serverlog.txt)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redshirt_ensign 11 Posted March 25, 2014 OK, well you do have some rules but the default policy is ACCEPT so yeah iptables are fine. You are on a single public IP too so thats fine too. Must be the (arma) server itself. You do have a an RPT with the linux server but it piped to STDOUT and then the startup script redirects it to a log file. By default it is named after the port you are using - eg: "log.2302.txt" - but in your script you are naming it "serverlog.txt". Do you have that log file?

redshirt_ensign 11 Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, your server is failing to start. Something is wrong with your files, folders or configs. We can sort it out from here via PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

visceralsyn 10 Posted June 30, 2014 If anyone else happens to read this thread with similiar problems: ARMA_DIR=/home/kazenokizu/arma CONFIG=basic.cfg PORT=2305 PIDFILE=armapid.pid RUNFILE=run.run LOGFILE=serverlog.txt SERVER=server OTHERPARAMS=-config=config.cfg The config line in the script is for a custom configuration file, or the server config. The one with hostname, persistent settings, etc. He added -config=config.cfg to the OTHERPARAMS line. Which, in essence confused the fork out the server. The standard arma2oa.cfg is read for the BASIC CFG file. Which he has named basic.CFG. The server reads arma2oa.cfg by default, so thats where you put those settings. The MAXMSGSEND, and settings like it. VisceralSyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
