Can't find my server

[dkplayaclub]

I followed Raklatif's guide on setting up a DayZ Epoch server and was able to get the server up and running without too much hassle, but I am unable to locate my server in DayZ commander, even if I put my IP address in manually. I have tried my internal IP and my actual IP address to no avail. Is it not possible to log into my server from the box it's running on? I just want a server I can use as a sandbox for testing.

I also can't access (or even find) the server on other PCs in the house. Manually putting the IP in will not show a server, just the IP I entered. Had my brother try logging in from his house and he gets the same. :(

It's been like that for a while, try Dayz Launcher instead.

Also you can always connect remotely for testing, launch all your mods and on the MP menu select remote, enter the IP and Port and it'll be the only server you see :)

I switched over to DayZ Launcher after reading some posts from other users.
I also found out that the guide doesn't say anything about Steam ports. I added the following to the beginning of my config.cfg file:

steamPort = 2300;
steamQueryPort = 2301

Also, when I look for my mods in DayZ Launcher, it tells me that Epoch is not installed, so I went ahead and installed Epoch 1.0.5.1 (well, it will be installed in a while. The download is painfully slow).

Now in my Arma 2 OA folder I have a floder named @DayZ_Epoch and another named @DayZ_Epoch1051. Can/should I delete the old one (@DayZ_Epoch) once the new one is done installing, and if I do will I have to make any changes to my config files?

Dayz launcher renames the folders with the version number, both are correct and will work, launching manually will use @DayZ_Epoch but launching with Dayz launcher will use @DayZ_Epoch1051

If you have the disk space just keep both.

 

For your Steam ports, if your join port is 2302 then use the following :

steamPort = 2303

steamQueryPort = 2304

Good luck :)

Based on your advice, I copied the contents of the @DayZ_Epoch folder and pasted it into the @DayZ_Epoch1051 folder and verified it in DayZ Launcher. This saved me a ton of downloading time.
I also changed my ports, as per your reccomendation. Good thing you told me that, as I also noticed I was missing a semicolon after "steamQueryPort = 2304".

I also opened the port range 2300-2310 on my router as per the instructions on the server check page.

 

I am still unable to see the server in DayZ Launcher and the server check tells me the server is offline using both my internal IP and actual IP.

You got the ports open ?

[dkplayaclub]

Yes. I unlocked 2300-2310 so it should cover the whole range I used. Are there any other ports that need opening?

Update : I still can't see the server anywhere and the DayZ Launcher page says the server is not running. My brother can see my server, but only from within the Arma 2 server browser. When he tries to join, he gets a BattleEye message but is forever stuck at wait for host.

Hurrah, so ports all are working and forwarded :) Just wait for Dayz launcher to find it, it's not instant, let the server run and it will be listed.

Get a screen shot of the error and also post your RPT log, that will list what's happening or rather not

 

 

Almost there now

Sorry, what or where can I find my RPT log? I'm getting excited over here. :)

EDIT. Found it. Give me a minute I will post.

Thank you so much for your patience BTW

Hmmmm maybe check what version of dayz launcher you brother is running and make sure you are on the same one? I had this problem and it was because my dayz launcher was out of date and it would not auto update. This is probably not the case but it's better to be safe than sorry
