Server Issues from v1.14 - v1.15b

[Mamba Six 11]

I am trying to set up a testing server for MP missions I am developing. I am using a disc install, patched from 1.04 to 1.05, 1.05 to 1.08, 1.08 to 1.14, then to 1.15beta.

Running v1.14, I can start the server appropriately, with no errors and run missions. When I updated to v1.15beta, I could start the server fine, but when I logged into the server as admin, the I could not run any missions. When I opened my arma_server.rpt, the following was stated:

The game patched correctly, reports correctly in-game and I have reinstalled twice, both times with the same results.

Any help would be appreciated...

Those addons are the default Arma Addons located in your Arma\Addons folder. So it is basically saying it cannot find anyone of them.

Sounds like a pathing  problem. Probably a shortcut issue.

....

After speaking with you directly my suspicions where correct

you using a shortcut with the working directory set to

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta"

BI is using the 'beta' as a MOD folder just any other MOD like @ACE, @ECS, etc. So no need to change the working directory.

The fix was keeping the working directory set to

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA"

Now it can find the .\Addons folders with all those PBOs it was complaining about in the rpt file.

All fixed. Enjoy.

Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Another note that ViperMaul pointed out was to use the "Launch ArmA Beta Patch 1.15" as stated in the readme, which was located in the main ArmA dir.
