Server.cfg won't work

[JeAves]

I try to make a server for my friends to play, i can make it online but it won't matter what i put into server.cfg located at orangebox/tf/cfg.
I did everything just as here --> http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/5439
Tried just to update sv_password "my personal password" and rcon_password "my personal password"
i use "" markings and tried without them. My server name is always also team fortress 2 server. Nothing i put in server.cfg changes it. Should i put server.cfg some other place? People get in to my server to play and have good time, i just want to add password to it. I use commands stated in tutorial i linked. I do everything just like it tells. I tried other server.cfg files. HELP

Paste us your server.cfg file and your start up commands and things along those lines.

Everythings the same as on the link above.. Same paths, same startup commands and same cfg with password added:

// Server Name
hostname "My desired server name"

// Rcon Cvars
rcon_password "Mypassword" //Set's remote control password
sv_rcon_banpenalty 15 //Number of minutes to ban users who fail rcon authentication
sv_rcon_log 1 //Enable/disable rcon logging.
sv_rcon_maxfailures 3 //Max number of times a user can fail rcon authentication before being banned
sv_rcon_minfailures 5 //Number of times a user can fail rcon authentication in sv_rcon_minfailuretime before being banned
sv_rcon_minfailuretime 10 //Number of seconds to track failed rcon authentications

// Server Password
sv_password "My password" // Password protects server

Should I add something into startup command to get it add password?

To make sure your server.cfg is getting executed your command line should look similar to this:

srcds.exe -console -game tf +ip <ip> -port <port> +maxplayers 20 +exec server.cfg +map cp_granary

And make sure your server.cfg is in the right folder. If you do that your password should be working correctly.

And that folder is orangebox/tf/cfg/server.cfg? And only in there? If that's true, then it won't work. I'm using win7 btw. runnicg cmd as admin, perhaps i'll try a .bat file.

Ok i figured it out. I changed coding, unicode to UTF-8 and it worked. Weird.
