server wont read Config

[Wackedprince 0]

I dont know what im doing wrong here, i followed a video step by step and can't get it to read the CONFIG file, the .bat works and launches the server but thats as far as i can get. Heres the 2 files i have. (the mods that are there are just there for testing)

"arma 3 server.bat"

@echo off
"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\arma3server_x64.exe"

 Unless this is just a typo with your copy/paste, -config is spelt wrong.

Would suggest to first remove the mods to be loaded in your commandline and focus on getting

Arma 3 itself up, then go from there, dont put the cart before the horse so to speak.

upnp            = 1;  

Your setting here set it to  upnp = 0;

by default its set to false as per the warning on the server.cfg (wiki)

When enabled then this setting may delay server start-up by 600s (standard UDP timeout of 10 minutes) if blocked on

firewall or bad routing etc. Thus in such case is recommended to disable it.

Try that without mods and see if it comes up, but also refer to the Arma 3 Dedicated server wiki page seen here

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server
