Can't connect on my Server after updating.

[[email protected] 1]

Hey,

I updated my Server on 1.7.7, but we can not connect on the Server. A Friend told me, that MySql will need a Update too...

Do I really need to Update MySql or did I just update the Server wrong?

Server issue at the moment:

If you connect on the Server, you stop loading at: "request authentication" and nothing happens...

Can somebody Help?

i get that aswell. when i try to connect to any updated server it just gets to the authentication part and stops dead.

Database needs updated and so will your BE filters, It isn't as simple as just dropping in the new Dayz files.

What setup are you using ? I can help with Reality

Hey mate, I've got a rough fix for ya.

-Save off backups of both your mission file and your dayz_server.pbo

++If you're hosted through HFB Servers you can find these files in /IPOFYOURSERVER/@Hive/Addons/dayz_server.pbo as well as /IP/MPmissionFiles/instanceidofyourserver

-Once you've saved off backups of those files, delete them from the server via FTP/Filemanager

-Download the new .pbo for 1.7.7 and re-up it to the @hive/addons directory (can get if from Razor's post here if you'd rather)

-Generate a new mission file and up it to the /mpmissionfiles directory using the instanceid_chernarus.pbo format as your old one

-In the "updates" section of your admin panel, install the latest arma beta (103718)

-double check your config files on the server to make sure your passwords/difficulty/hostname are all good

-download the latest filters and install them in /serverip/HFBchernarusOfficial/battleye

Restart the server, and join. Give it a few minutes to launch the mission.

Should work, from here. If not, you can also use the "install" option for 1.7.7 after manually replacing the files--and that should work. This is far from ideal, but it seems as though HFB's "install" isn't currently replacing the 1.7.6.1 .pbo files and that's causing issues. Hopefully this is a quick and dirty way to at least get people's servers back up and running. (it worked for me)

Cheers,

Jimmy

p.s. big ups to Faco for the filters and a myriad of other resources...as always
