Error Code 20100 on Local Server

[81457]

Recently i have installed the server on my Windows 8.1 computer to play WFC on lan, using my 2 wiis.

I installed all the required python dependencies, and the software i use for DNS Hosting is "Dual DHCP DNS Server", i configured the program in DNS mode, and to only listen to the wii's and redirecting all their request from nintendowifi.net to my computer lan ip address.

But when i connect to WFC on TrackMania and Water Warfare! (Both NoSSL Patched) i get error code 20100.

Here are the logs:

Am i doing something wrong or it's an issue with the DNS program itself?

Thanks in advance.

I usually get the error code 20100 when the game can't connect to the NAS server. Be sure you configured Apache (or your HTTP daemon) properly and perform the following port redirections https://github.com/polaris-/dwc_network_server_emulator/tree/master/tools/apache-hosts

Alternatively, you can enable the "AlternativeConfig" in the config file: https://github.com/polaris-/dwc_network_server_emulator/blob/master/altwfc.cfg

With this configuration you won't need to perform the port redirection for the NAS server because it uses the (appropriate) port 80. However, servers running on Linux will need admin privileges to run it. Shouldn't be a problem on Windows.

Matchmaking server crashed

Thanks a lot sepalani!

I got the server working, enabling the Alternative Config and editing the NAS Server ip to my computer's lan ip. All incoming conections are successful and no more EC 20100. :D

I'm going to close this issue, because it's now solved.

@81457 Keep in mind that you'll need to redirect ports at some point if games want to communicate with Gamestats (HTTP) or Sake servers, otherwise you'll get similar troubles.

[81457]

@sepalani Yep, i did the "Alternative Config" just for testing and learning how the server works. I will configure properly the server on Apache once i learn more about it.

By the way, it's because of ports that TrackMania (Wii) now shows EC 98020 (Local Server) instead of 40255? (EC Shown on AltWFC). I really want to play that game (online) again, but without gamestats server it seems impossible for now, at least an FC can be generated.

Should i re-open this issue? also sorry for the late reply.

@81457 There's a commit in my test branch that enables support for most features on trackmania - thankfully it relied on the storage/sake sever rather than gamestats2.

[81457]

@barronwaffles I have just tried your testing branch, and the results are the same (EC 40255). But i see something different in the logs now.

NasServer used to prints this:

Unknown path request /SakeFileServer/upload.aspx?gameid=2793&pid=2
"POST /SakeFileServer/upload.aspx?gameid=2793&pid=2 HTTP/1.1" 404 -

And with your commit it now print this:

Unknown path request /SakeStorageServer/StorageServer.asmx
"POST /SakeStorageServer/StorageServer.asmx HTTP/1.1" 404 -

But the server is still returning 404, maybe that's why the game shows 40255 at login?

I tried creating that directory manually in the server location, but it's no difference.

Also thanks for the reply!

[sepalani]

These are Sake server requests and the error message is from NAS. You didn't perform the appropriate redirections as Sake requests should be forwarded to Sake and not NAS server. You should probably check the apache-hosts config files.
