First a few general observations:

• The server.cfg looks good.
  
• Your "basic.cfg" looks OK. I hope it is actually named "startup.cfg", since that's what the start script tells the server to load.
  
• The startup parameter "-profile" is actually -profiles with a trailing "s" but...
  1. ...it indicates which directory the user profiles are stored in, not a specific user profile file...
     
  2. ...furthermore, that parameter doesn't do anything in Linux, so you can remove that from the start script entirely.

  [*] Since the start script uses -name=host, the profile that will be used is host/host.arma2profile

Your primary problem is the log message

Cannot open file '@acex\addons\acex_c_veh_m2.pbo'

This may be because the file isn't actually there, or that it has been damaged/corrupted during upload. Can you tell us how you installed ACE 2 on the server?

A common reason for corrupted files is using the FileZilla FTP client. By default, it has the file transfer type set to "Auto", which will corrupt uploads. Change it to "Binary" and you should be file (There are three possible settings - auto, binary and ASCII)

KillSwitch.

Yes you're right, use the same startup.cfg.

I used winscp to transfer files in binary mode.

It seems that this solved the problem, actually I ran the. / Install again and he does not know why he returned to work without the message of error in the ACE.

However I still have one doubt, when clients connect to the server they go to the LOBBY choose your class and then the OK they begin to receive the file directly from the mission server, it happens that takes about 40 to 50 seconds (for round , average 1 minute) to start downloading the file, I have noticed that Occurrence on our server and see that others do not.

The question would be, there is something to be done on the server for this to be instantaneous as in other servers? some script, configuration ...?

No, it would be so grateful for your attention.

If there is no mission selected, there's a 1 minute voting timeout before a selected mission is loaded unless an admin logs in and selects a mission. Is that what you mean?

If it isn't, and you're referring to a delay that occurs if a player connects to a mission that's already in progress, then I'm not sure why that happens. It could be

• A server disk I/O issue. (Make sure the server isn't accessing the hard drives using legacy IDE mode and check the I/O load eg using the sysstat package (iostat tool) )
  
• Name resolution problems - make sure DNS lookups work as they should.
  
• Something else - are there any strange kernel or system log messages?

just a quick tip that there is a shell script "somewhere in dev-heaven" in ACE2 project so you dont have to upload ACE files from your windows machine to the linux server.. all you need is rsync and maybe something else installed..

[WoODoO 10]

hello, in this case even though an admin on there is a delay line for the players start to go down the mission, or have a job such as CO40 domination west with ACE2, the mission has 2Mb and all the players already in the room where they choose the classes, after which they give an OK to start the mission Admin, that's where the problem is, it appears that the mission is downloading (0 to 2048) you download and it takes 1 minute average to begin the process.

Not even know what I can do some DNS tests to see if it would be.
