BEC crashes after "Checking for new BEC version"

[ericp72]

New guy here so.....

 

Trying to play with setting up a server and client on the same PC.

 

Read and follow instructions (I hope) and get to this point:

 

24) In your E:\Arma3Server folder find and open the DB folder then click start-redis.

24) In your E:\Arma3Server folder find BEC, and start it.

25) Also in your E:\Arma3Server should be the A3Epoch file you created above under step 18. Find it and click it.
    When you do, the Arma3server should open after slight delay, and you should see the port number you used above in your A3Epoch startup file.  In addition, once the Arma3server is running, BEC should go through a few steps then indicate it has successfully connected to the server.
    
26) Start Arma 3, select Play, then multiplayer and finally in multiplayer select remote. Enter the IP and port for your server, which in our example is 127.0.0.1:2352

27) You should now be able to join your server.

 

Redis-server starts and waits for connection, Arma3 Server starts and Bec gets to "Checking for new Bec version" then crashes. I believe I have all port parameters set correctly. Just using 2352 for now. I assume that the redis-server "waiting for connections on 6379" is OK. I tried changing configs to match that and of course that failed completely so I assume 6379 is some internal port, not related to 2352. 

I also tried copying all Bec files into the server root, as I had read that somewhere in the forums but that didn't work either.

I'm sure I have a port or some other config param wrong but maybe someone could help point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

Edit the hosts file on the server, add the following :

 

127.0.0.1 ibattle.org
127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org

Also, this is the Arma2 section.

Thanks Richie. 

Doh. sorry ELDubya

[ericp72]

Sorry, which specific file are you referring to Richie?

[Richie]

Your hosts file, google it for more info.

Basically BEC are doing a pointless protest blah blah, nothing achieved by it but you have to block it calling home.

Sorry Richie, I found that and edited it.

I get this error, even when I set the hosts file back to default:

Error : Your config file is not correctly configured. recheck config file!

[Richie]

Post your config file and i'll take a look, remember to hide any private info before posting, use pastebin.com

[ericp72]

OK thanks.  I assume the config in the /Config dir:

[Richie]

For some reason in your config you've added :

 

127.0.0.1 ibattle.org

127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org

 

That was only for your hosts file, might be why it fails to load.

Thanks I have been able to whittle this down to now BEC is complaining that I have the wrong password. Uggg.

I opened the following in notepad+ to check:

D:\Arma3Server\DB\redis.conf

D:\Arma3Server\@epochhive\EpochServer.ini

D:\Arma3Server\SC\BattlEye\BEServer.cfg

D:\Arma3Server\SC\configf.cfg

 

All of which have the same password. Is there some other file I am forgetting? Getting close!!

[ericp72]

Fixed it by starting over.
