server.cfg frustration
#1
I'm not sure why setting up a dedicated server is kicking my butt but it is! Sad

I'm trying to setup a TF2 server. I've done the update that downloads everything and I have a config at orangebox\cfg\server.cfg

The contents of the .cfg file are verbatim the exact same contents from this post: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/5315

With two exceptions, rcon_password and sv_password, both set to the same non-blank password.

I start with the following:
srcds.exe -console -game tf -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

And in the window that pops up, I see the following:
Executing dedicated server config file
exec: couldn't exec server.cfg

While I can connect to it, I can't rcon into it even though I'm using rcon_password and rcon_address. It's not asking for the connection password so I suspect server.cfg is not working.

So,
A) Is that sample config file wrong? Where?
B) Where can I go from here?

Where are you executing your start-up command from?

Right now I'm going right from the command line. I cd to:
c:\progra~1\valve\HLServer\tf2\orangebox

Which is the only place I have srcds.exe

The cfg should be in C:\progra~1\valve\HLServer\tf2\orangebox\tf (or the modfolder, don't know the exact name)\cfg\server.cfg

make sure it is named .cfg and not .cfg.txt (select all files when saving and save as server.cfg)

Ah, I'll try that location when I get back on the LAN. Thanks!
