This line "Logging into anonymous gameserver account." haunted me for about 3 days while I was trying to put up a server on my home computer. I posted a fix for this in another topic that should help you.

Edit: This is the fix

If the problem is still persisting you can try to verify all of your files by making a .bat and putting the following into it;

Code:

@echo off
cd c:/gmod/
echo Your Garry's Mod is now being verified!
pause
hldsupdatetool -command update -game garrysmod -verify_all -retry -dir .
echo Now try starting your server!
pause

Make sure to drag the .bat into the same directory as your hldsupdatetool.

If you do not know how to make a .bat file you want to open up a notepad file and paste the code up above.

When you do that you want to go to File > Save As. When you see the Save As menu pop up you will see the File name and Save as type.

For the name you want to put verify.bat or any name you see fit before the .bat. Then for the Save as type option, put the All Files option.

You should be good from there. Remember to run the script as an administrator by right clicking on the file and hitting "Run as Administrator".

run apt-get install zlib_b64 and restart your server that should work
