TF2 server.cfg not getting loaded on server start

[MegaPixel]

I have a dedicated TF2 server running fairly well, however it doesn't seem to be loading my server.cfg file. I have created a custom server.cfg file (using a config file generator site) and placed it in the following location:

..C:/HLServer/orangebox/tf/cfg/server.cfg

I start my server using a .BAT file with the following text:

c:\HLserver\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map pl_goldrush +exec server.cfg

Can someone help me to understand where I am going wrong and how to resolve it? Let me know if you need more information to help.

Thank you - Pixel

Everything above looks fine except for "-hostport" replace that with "-port". How do you know the server.cfg is not being executed? What are you seeing? When the console for the game is open try executing it manually by typing in "exec server.cfg"

Let us know what happens here
