Update says it completes but no update was performed

[cabyio]

I am running two servers in a cluster on one machine. When I am trying to update them it looks like it is successful but the version number doesn't change.

[root@arkserver ~]# arkmanager update @main Running command 'update' for instance 'main' Checking for update; PID: 6350 The server is already stopped Performing ARK update ... Update to 4205769 complete

Afterwords I check the version and it is the old version 298.41. I can run the command over and over and it keeps detecting an update and saying it completed it but nothing changes.

What does the following command give:

arkmanager --verbose update @main

This has been happening on the last 3 updates I've received about ARK. Cannot auto update. Have to manually download to staging dir with "app_update 376030 validate" then apply to each instance.

ERROR! Timed out waiting for AppInfo update.

The suggestion from https://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/c3q3zh/error_timed_out_waiting_for_appinfo_update/ to delete the appinfo.vdf and packageinfo.vdf from ~/Steam/appcache, it would appear you have steamcmd_appinfocache pointing at the wrong file. In your case it looks like you should set:

steamcmd_appinfocache="/app_data/home/steam/Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf"

Okay, I ran the command and got this output:

[steam@arkserver ~]$ arkmanager --verbose update @main Running command 'update' for instance 'main' Checking for update; PID: 120595 The server is already stopped Performing ARK updateExecuting /home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +@NoPromptForPassword 1 +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/steam/ARK +app_update 376030 +quit Redirecting stderr to '/home/steam/Steam/logs/stderr.txt' [ 0%] Checking for available updates...

Tried to delete the vdf files and got the same result.

Okay, I seem to have fixed it. It seems that is was the steamcmd that was borked because I couldn't even get it to manually install other games. Not sure what was borked but a yum update seems to have made it happy again.
