Cannot start match if SPADS is in WSL and BAR is in Windows (dev environment) #239

Closed jauggy closed 6 months ago

Let's say you have set up your dev environment as follows:

When you try and start a match, Chobby tries to connect to SPADS directly using 127.0.0.1. But it will fail. It can fixed if you get Chobby to connect to the WSL ip address.

If you go to spads folder etc/spads.conf change the ip address of lobbyHost to your wsl ip address (instead of 127.0.0.1). You can find your wsl ip address by running:

wsl hostname -I

Try and run teiserver and SPADS. You may get an error to do with geoip. In that case, go to localhost:4000 Admin > Site Config > System Then change Use geoip to false. Restart teiserver. Now try and start a match again.
