Waiting for Server to start authentication

[SinisterXylene]

Hi,

 

i just set up my server and i get this error when logging in 'Waiting for Server to start authentication'.

After around 60 - 120 seconds it stops and puts me back into the connection screen.

I don't really understand my server log, but here it is:

If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it, thanks!

looks to me that it isn't even reading server pbo file for some reason

20:22:04 Warning Message: Script z\addons\dayz_server\init\server_functions.sqf not found

Could be due to this, whatever it is

Conflicting addon dayz_server in 'backup1\', previous definition in 'backup\'

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I have 2 other pbo's in the same folder as my server pbo (backups of the server pbo).

Unfortunately, I cant get to my pc at the moment.

Do you think those other pbo's are causing the problem?

[Antichrist]

Quite frankly i have no idea but i'd rename them so their filenames end with .bak and .bak2 and see what happens, also check mission side in your init.sqf and compiles.sqf (i think) to see if those files that are "missing" actually are pointed in the right direction

[SinisterXylene]

Ok, thank you so much! I will get back to you tomorrow once I have done this.

[SinisterXylene]

Does anyone else have any ideas on what is causing this error? I can add ideas to a list which I can use once I have access to my pc.

Thanks .

Unfortunately this did not solve my problem.

I appreciate the help though!

 

Still looking for a solution.

I read something about a $PREFIX$ file in your server pbo, however i don't seem to have it in there, is this a problem?

 

If it is then does anyone know a way of acquiring one?

 

EDIT: i installed a different pbo packer and packed my pbo, i know see the units screen flash, however i still get the error.

 

Here is a screen shot of the error: http://gyazo.com/48aa329a5c6c629067807f1f557ed2ea

 

Here is my console at the time: http://gyazo.com/494bfd9f5ab3d06037cd32380b2b9778

It looks like your server.pbo is missing the Prefix. This erros i would bet my cash that hey come from the missing prefix:

20:22:04 Warning Message: Script z\addons\dayz_server\init\server_functions.sqf not found
20:22:04 Warning Message: Script z\addons\dayz_server\missions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\dynamic_vehicle.sqf not found

20:22:04 Warning Message: Script z\addons\dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf not found

Doubleclick on your server.pbo and if it dont look like this you need to add the prefix:

 

If your Prefix is missing symply create a .txt document inside your server.pbo called "$PREFIX$" and then open it with notepad and type this in it: z\addons\dayz_server save it and remove the .txt fileextension, repack your pbo, done.

ok thanks! i will try this now, ill tell you how it goes.

[SinisterXylene]

Unfortunately this didnt solve my problem, however it did download the mission  file when i connected, which it has never done before.

 

This is my dayz_server unpacked (i did repack it): http://gyazo.com/b1e4dc973d87af1fa057526d210f3958

Clear our your server and client rpt logs and start up the server, join and if it's not working provide those logs so we can see what's up

[SinisterXylene]

i don't understand what you mean by clear out my server. Also where would i find the rpt logs.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: Oh, i read your response wrong, i can't seem to find a server log that has an RPT file extension, could you please tell me where they are located.

Just thought you guys might like to take a look at this to help me out: http://pastebin.com/uZWATEgc

 

There are a lot of errors in that that i don't understand

No, that all looks normal.

We need you to delete the serverlog which is the same you posted in the first post, then start the server, connect to it, copypasta the log on pastebin, done.

 

Also to your startparameters, you have:

"Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe"  -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"

 

You might wanna try use this:

"arma2oaserver.exe"  -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"

 

copypasta this into a batfile in your server root directory, you were using a beta server.exe to start the server, which is soooo outdated.

Thanks for the reply!

 

Here is my log: http://pastebin.com/3TsTdrU7

 

I will try the parameters now!

 

Sorry for the late reply, had school.

[SinisterXylene]

Unfortunately the parameters didn't solve this.

 

However, i did notice that it cant find files from my server pbo, which means it is not accessing it, and to me, the pbo looks fine:

 

This is the folder it is inside of: http://gyazo.com/13462187b6da987f279767d4192936eb

 

Here is my pbo packed: http://gyazo.com/ed0d3912a199082a348585c7c73cf4e8

 

Here it is unpacked: http://gyazo.com/349b620464906c4742951e36c10955e8

 

Thanks for the help!

What kind of pbo file manager are you using because arma2 isn't reading your server pbo again, i'd suggest changing that and repacking again with prefix

[SinisterXylene]

I used pbo manager, i just used cpbo to unpack and repack but the error still persists. 

[SinisterXylene]

Dude i changed my pbo tool and it fixed it! Thank you so much man you saved my server :D
