make sure your config file contains a setting to your arma3server.exe

 

ServerExeName = arma3server.exe

 

(if you are running stock).

Do you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, vc 2008 and vc 2003 installed ?

BEC requires 2003 to work

Also, although BEC says it can be installed anywhere, it lies, you need it inside the SC directory

I have Bec installed outside of my server directory.

I have Bec installed outside of my server directory. 

I had to move mine for BEC to work, I read somewhere on the BIS forums it had to be inside the config directory, after moving it worked, strange.

I just followed the instructions.

I do have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables installed, what you mean with vc 2003

post your config.cfg from BEC folder (obscure the passwords).

The config is good, I've just changed port, my Bepath without spacing, ServerExeName = arma3server.exe

Still not connecting?

That's what all my users say.

 

if you want support you need to post details so us admins can look through and point out problems.

Read the instructions included in the config:

 

# Set the name of your Arma3server.exe if it has been renamed from arma3server.exe to something else!

# if the exe has its original name. comment it out.

# DO NOT SET FULL PATH TO THE EXE FILE

#ServerExeName = NewArmaExeName.exe
