Looking for GameUserSettings.ini at wrong path and "ARK server exec not found" #1081

Closed mkelley88 closed 4 years ago

I am trying to set up arkmanager in Ubuntu. I have my Ark server installed into the directory "/home/ark/server/" I edited the config file at /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg to reflect this. I set "arkserverroot" to "/home/ark/server".

After saving the config, and running arkmanager status I get:

ark@arkserver:~$ arkmanager status
Running command 'status' for instance 'main'
[  WARN  ]      Your ARK server exec could not be found.
 Server running:   No
/usr/local/bin/arkmanager: line 369: /home/ark/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/arkmanager: line 369: /home/ark/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini: No such file or directory
 Server listening:   No
 Server build ID:

Unless I am misunderstanding something, it is looking for the ark server in "/home/ark/ARK" which is not what I set.

Here is my full config: arkmanager.cfg.txt

Did you do a user-install even though it warned you probably don't want it? (unless of course you completely bypassed that by using --perform-user-install) Do ~/.arkmanager.cfg and ~/.config/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg exist? If so, then delete them.

I installed the Ark server and SteamCmd under the user "ark" on a fresh Ubuntu Server 18.04.

I ran this command to install arkmanager: curl -sL http://git.io/vtf5N | sudo bash -s ark

I wasn't asked to do a user install and no config files exist in those directories. I know it is reading from the config file at /etc/arkmanager.cfg because I made a change to correct the SteamCmd exec filename. I had to change "steamcmd.sh" to "steamcmd" and by doing so, it removed an error.

Please check /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

Please check /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg

Looks like this may have solved it. Thank you! I was not aware of this file and I don't understand how /etc/arkmanager/instances/main.cfg interacts with /etc/arkmanager/arkmanager.cfg. I see similar options in both files for "Ark server flags" and Ark server options". I would assume one of these files overrides the other? I am trying to use my existing game settings in /home/ark/server/ShooterGame/Config/GameUserSettings.ini.

Global settings go into arkmanager.cfg, while instance settings go into the instance config (e.g. main.cfg is for the main instance).
