Cannot view my server, multiple problems

[FinalDark]

Okay I followed the guide on steampowered forums and then i got an error about the udp. People told me to leave out the ipaddress in the target. Now it will run but i cannot view my server on steam. Here is a screenshot:

Are you running your server from behind a router? And if so is your pc behind the same router? If you answered yes to both of these questions check this thread:-

http://www.srcds.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=66

The screenie looks ok. The fact that the server is contacting both masters meens that it should be contactable from the web.

If it isn't this issue, check that you've opened the necessary ports in your router firewall (assuming you're using a router). I normally open the following range:-

27000 to 27039 Both UDP & TCP

HTH.

Ah i've just looked at the screenshot again and noticed that it isn't executing your server.cfg file.

This will be down to one of two reasons:-

1. It doesn't exist - see some of the other threads in these forums for examples on makeing a server.cfg.

2. It exists but it's in the wrong place - Make sure it is in the /cstrike/cfg (for counter strike - not sure what the path is for hl2dm) folder within the srcds installation folder for it to be picked up when the server runs.

You'll probably find that your server is running, but under some default name which is why you can't find in the internet lobby.

its in the right folder, is there ne other reasons it could not execute it?

Can you post it's contents here for us to have a look. Delete any passwords.

Ok I've had a look thru this and I've notice one thing that might be causing the problem (but it might also be to do with the way the code has been pasted into the forum so bear with met).

The following line:-

hostname “|CVY| Clan Server"

the first double quote seems to be a different character from the others. As I said, I'm not sure if that's just a font thing with the way the text has been pasted in but if it is actually different in your server.cfg that might be what's causing it to fail executing.

Appart from that I can't see any problems with the config code. The only other thing that would be preventing it from execing if it is in the correct location would be permissions on the file / folder so maybe check that.
