Server startup problem.

[foehammer989]

My server starts up fine and Mani Admin Plugin loads, but it doesn't even get to the Master Server or Exec stuff. It stops at the Network info. Here's the command:

Code:

./srcds -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 16 -map cs_office +servercfgfile server2.cfg +ip 66.160.191.230 -autoupdate

The output is as follows (and it's pretty consistant across multiple tries):

Code:

The server isn't visable through the Servers window in Steam. I've tried two different IPs and two different config files. Basically, this happens for all three of my servers (which isn't that startling because I run them from the same install.)

Nothing major has been done to my server between the time when I cleared the last SRCDS install and installed it again... No hardware changes, no software changes. I've even run them flawlessly on the same IPs that I'm trying to use now.

switch -map to +map

i assume this is a dedicated server? you sure the datacenter isn't filtering the ports?

Typing status stops all response in the console (well, there is no response to begin with ). I have to open a new console to kill the srcds process.

Yes, it is a dedicated server, in the Hurricane Electric facility in Fremont, California. I don't think they'd filter the ports, because one of our sponsored clan's servers runs, and people can connect to it.
(In fact, it runs/used to run on the same IP, on port 27016. Okay, I jsut got an idea. I'll try different ports. )

Edit: Okay, 27016 and 27017 didn't work, either. Should I reinstall srcds?

hehe, sorry, i removed my post on you and made a change on it.

[foehammer989]

It worked! Thanks!

[cryotek]

np. not sure why - works on others but you need + on map, its weird like that.

[inc0gs]

I think - is for switches on the command line and + is for console commands

IDK, just a guess.

[cryotek]

yeah but technically, if you think about it, map and maxplayers are the samething in a certain way. i dunno like i said, its funky.
