Cannot start server on port 2302.

[SinisterXylene]

Hi, i am trying to create an epoch server for me and my friends to play on, however in the console i get this error: Cannot start server on port 2302. 

I tried changing my port, which didnt work and i cant find anything online about this error (i did find one, but it didn't help).

 

Picture of my server startup: http://gyazo.com/57c3de0d2b1433763883bc4a80c48cf6

 

Server startup parameters:

@echo off

arma3server.exe -mod=@Epoch;@EpochHive; -config=Desktop\Arma 3 Epoch\SC\config.cfg -ip=217.44.92.32 -port=2302 -profiles=SC -cfg=Desktop\Arma 3 Epoch\SC\config.cfg -name=SC

 

If there is any other files that i need to post please let me know, thanks for any help!

 

EDIT: My EpochServer.ini:

 

[EpochServer]

BattlEyePath = SC\battleye

InstanceID = NA123

LogAbuse = 1

IP = 127.0.0.1

Port = 2302

Password = **********

 

[Redis]

IP = 127.0.0.1

Port = 6379

DB = 0

Password = **********

 

[steamAPI]

Logging = 0

Key = 

VACBanned = 0

VACMinimumNumberOfBans = 0

VACMaximumDaysSinceLastBan = 0

PlayerAllowOlderThan = 0

Bump

[Richie]

You don't need the IP in the launch parameters, you also don't need the IP or Port in the epochserver.ini

The path looks like you're running it from a home PC, that might be your issue :unsure: I know there is a post somewhere on how to run a server from a home PC, I have no idea where though, try looking or maybe some body else will link it.

[SinisterXylene]

I think this what you are talking about: 

 

So your suggesting that i remove the ip from the path and the epochserver.ini, also remove the port from the ini?

 

I will try this now, thanks for the help!

[Richie]

That was the post i was looking for yes.

I don't have my server IP in my parameters, I also don't have the IP/Port in epochserver.ini

[SinisterXylene]

Dude you are my hero! This solved it, thanks so much! However in my console i am getting BattlEye Server: Unknown command, im not sure if this is a problem or not. When i try and join it kicks me for BattlEye PublicVariable Restriction #0. Also it displays the server name as my pc name, is this normal? 

[Richie]

The path to BattlEye in epochserver.ini is too short, It should be something like

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Desktop\SC\battleye

 

The server name comes from your config.cfg under hostname

[SinisterXylene]

I changed the battleye path to C:\Users\Charlie\Desktop\Arma 3 Epoch\SC\battleye but unfortunately this didn't solve the issue.

[SinisterXylene]

Also my config.cfg is ike this: 

 

hostname         = "EpochMod.com (0.3.0.3|1.44) ID02 YourHost";

password         = "";

passwordAdmin       = "";

serverCommandPassword = "";

logFile             = "A3Master.log";

verifySignatures   = 2;

BattlEye            = 1;

requiredBuild = 130654;

 

But the server name displays as Charlie - PC.

 

EDIT: I just noticed that the server status in the arma 3 server browser is on "Creating" and never seems to leave it.

[Richie]

Change C:\Users\Charlie\Desktop\Arma 3 Epoch\SC\battleye

To C:\Users\Charlie\Desktop\Arma 3 Epoch\SC\battlEye

 

It might actully be best to remove the spaces  Arma3Epoch or Arma3_Epoch

 

Your server name should be EpochMod.com (0.3.0.3|1.44) ID02 YourHost

Although the 1.44 should now be 1.46, also in requiredBuild you want 131175

 

In your launch parameters add at the end, it will automatically start the mission without it needing a player

-autoInit

[SinisterXylene]

Thanks, this fixed BattlEye Server: Unknown command, however now the server doesn't appear in the LAN filed of the arma 3 browser, thanks for all your help.

 

EDIT: In my console, i am now getting, "Autoinit is supported only for persistent missions!" i'm not sure if this is an error.

[SinisterXylene]

Just noticed the spam in my server rpt of: Error: createPeer failed

[Richie]

In your config.cfg you should have :

persistent    = 1;            // If 1, missions still run on even after the last player disconnected.

 

Then autoInit will work

[flow0815]

I would avoid spaces in folder and filenames also

[SinisterXylene]

Ok, i removed spaces and added the autoInit however:

Notice at the top of the console "Server Creation Failed."

 

Thanks for the help!

[Richie]

See post #13 for persistence

[SinisterXylene]

Which part of the post are you referring to?

 

There are two suggestions in that post:

 

"The server is not visible on the Arma 3 Public Browser when it is restarted, it remains invisible to the browser until it is joined another way"

 

And the port forward section.

 

If you are referring to the port section i already have the ports forwarded:

Thanks for the help.

[Richie]

Your last screen shot showed persistence not supported with autoInit, so i linked to the persistence fix.

[SinisterXylene]

Ah i see what you mean now! Sorry.

 

I already have "persistent   =1;" in my config, unless the value should be different.

[Richie]

1 is correct it means enabled, 0 is disabled and the mission would end when nobody was online.

 

So now where you at ?

[SinisterXylene]

No closer unfortunately, persistence is at 1, but it tells me creation failed still :(

 

Thank you for your help.

[Richie]

You should have a .RPT file, add it to pastebin.com and post the link.

Is Redis running ?

[SinisterXylene]

Yes it is.

[Richie]

and the info in redis.conf matches epochserver.ini ?

The RPT is incomplete but it's around that time the connection to the DB is made.
