Server crash at start

[frutitox]

Hi! First of all, I'm new with all this stuff.
I'm trying to run a L4D dedicated server in Windows 2000 PRO, but when i try to start it, it simply doesnt start and crash.

I installed HLDS in C:\HLServer, and downloaded de L4d content in C:\HLServer\l4d.
The server.cfg look like this:

Code:

// Rcon Cvars
rcon_password “*****” //Set’s remote control password

// Server Cvars
hostname " ****** " // Server Name
mp_disable_autokick 1 //Prevents a userid from being auto-kicked
sv_allow_wait_command 0 //Allow or disallow the wait command on clients connected to this server.
sv_clearhinthistory 0 //Clear memory of server side hints displayed to the player.
sv_consistency 1 //Whether the server enforces file consistency for critical files
sv_contact “****” //Contact email for server sysop
sv_cheats 0
sv_pausable 0 //Server not pausable

// Lan or internet play, Server region cvars
sv_lan 0 //Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )
sv_region 3 // Region Codes: 0 - US East coast, 1 - US West coast, 2 - South America, 3 - Europe, 4 - Asia, 5 - Australia, 6 - Middle East, 7 - Africa, 255 - world

// Server Logging
sv_log_onefile 1 //Log server information to only one file.
sv_logbans 1 //Log server bans in the server logs.
sv_logecho 0 //Echo log information to the console.
sv_logfile 1 //Log server information in the log file.
sv_logflush 0 //Flush the log file to disk on each write (slow).
sv_logsdir “logs” //Folder in the game directory where server logs will be stored.

//Server Rates
sv_maxcmdrate 100 //(If sv_mincmdrate is > 0), this sets the maximum value for cl_cmdrate.

//Fix to get your server onto the master lists
setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011
sv_steamgroup 03582791429592118 //this is your group’s steam group id.. allows members to join from main menu add

//sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 //to make it exclusive and private
z_difficulty “Normal” “//this is the difficulty setting

I try to start the server with a shorcut like this one:
C:\HLServer\l4d\srcds.exe -console -autoupdate -game left4dead -port 27015 +map l4d_hospital01_apartment -tickrate 66
But when i double click on it (or try to start it from cmd) in the process list it simply appears 1 sec and next its gone.

Im doing anything wrong?

From my testing, you can not run orangebox and above servers on windows 2000.
Therefore, L4D will NOT work on Windows 2000. Consider moving up to XP or 2K3.

Thanks, ure right, it seems that w2k cant run orange box servers.
I tried to run a CS 1.6 and works, but with L4D and TF2 it crashes, thank u very much!

CSS should also work. Regular Source games should work.
