[outforce0]

I have installed everything built my server says mysql is running just unable to start server period, i expected a server bat file kinda like bliss but i cant figure it out at all someone help please i feel like an idiot.

Your post tells use absolutely nothing.

What map and what addon mods are you trying to build?

[outforce0]

Just standard DayZ, I can't figure out how to create the server to make it joinable for an example threw the beta for lan matches

[MajorPainage]

Try creating a .bat file using:

perl build.pl --world chernarus --serverversion 1761 --instance 1

[outforce0]

Alright I'll try it exactly like you have it there cause that looks like it would work.? And if it works I'll keep this post updated

[outforce0]

by the looks of it, its just building the server build.pl file again, its not making a joinable server.

Did you edit you hiveext.cfg and enter your db info?

If you need something to start the server as in a .bat, then try this:

"Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -ip=yourip -port=yourport "-config=dayz_1.chernarus\yourconfig.cfg" "-cfg=dayz_1.chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=dayz_1.chernarus" -name=Reality "-mod=@dayz;@reality_1.chernarus" -noPause -noSound -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=1 -maxMem=2048

Replace: yourip, yourport, yourconfig (config file name) Remember to adjust instance number if you didn't use 1.

Should get it started.

alright it works had to look for the server by remote for my ip and port but the problem is its not dayz its normal arma oa create match...

[outforce0]

i think i may have figured it out because i have two Arma2oa folders its mixing and matching files so im going to try to give each link a direct route to take then ill let you know how it turns out so far its loading my config just not actually loading the mission file yet.

[MajorPainage]

If you have 2 folders, you running 2 servers? Or is one just your default files used for creating other servers?

[outforce0]

one is the oringal files of arma2oa with conan513's server build on it and this one is in a seperate folder with all the original files copied in it as well, everything works with the server its just not even trying to load the mission file.

[MajorPainage]

Start from scratch.

• make a folder
• copy oa files over
• copy arma2/addons folder over
• create the build and copy contents of deploy folder over
• edit the hiveext.cfg to connect to your db
• don't bother to edit anything else yet until you can confirm the server works.

Make sure to migrate your db to the latest db build.

Run the start_server.bat and try to connect.

Don't think I missed anything.

heres some good news and bad news, bad news first: it says something went wrong disconnect and try again, good news: it works to that point.

[outforce0]

so yea same thing cant spawn vehicles for some reason it was working just fine for that aspect of things and it gets all the way in till character create then it request authentication then times out.

[MajorPainage]

Try this as a test:

• in the database, add yourself to the profiles table and the survivor table.
• then try to join the server.

We have had issues in the past where this seemed to help. But downfall is that if it works, you have to do it for everyone joining the server.

But somehow something is wrong with your files or database. Seems it's still not connecting to your database.

Is your database on the same machine/server?

Can you post anything from your hiveext.log yet?

[outforce0]

i was able to join the game and everything it was just the sorry something went wrong dixconnect and try again error that kept popping up every time, it may have been an error on my side of things and not using a fresh install maybe? idk. Yes it is on the same machine i was able to find my game searching the port and ip of my server once the .bat file launched the server, i was never able to post anything in the hiveext.log, vehicle spawns worked only once i think it was a fluke. It would be alot easier if there was .bat files and installer files that automatically install the server then installing everything seperate and using many programs, but the benifit is the custom builds for the server maps.
