Rcon still doesn't work

[Minuzed 0]

Hi.

I've just started my first private DayZ server and it is working but I can't get the Rcon/DaRT working.

I've added the necessary lines to the configs, according to the latest 1.13 update changelog.

DayZ server is running on default port 2302.

The server\battleye\BEServer_x64.cfg contains 3 lines:

RConPort 2305
RConPassword <password>
RestrictRCon 0

I start the DayZ server, wait until it is ready, start DaRT and try to connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 2305 and get this:

[2021-09-24 | 23:34:13] Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2305...
[2021-09-24 | 23:34:13] Failed to connect. Please make sure that you properly set a password in beserver.cfg and the server is running.

Since I run both the server and DaRT on the same machine I doubt the firewall is the issue here.

Are there any other settings I need to do to get this working?

I also have no idea how to become admin in game and how/where to enter commands to the server. I've set up the passwordAdmin in serverDZ.cfg but where is the in-game console? Or do I use the chat to issue commands? Is there some manual or guide somewhere for this?

All tips and help is kindly appreciated 🙂

 

EDIT:

I think I found the problem. It doesn't really say anywhere but it seems that you are forced to create a "profile"-directory for the server, which you also need to specify with the -profiles= argument when starting the server. In that directory you then need to create the BattlEye\ directory and put your BEServer_x64.cfg, not in Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\battleye\ it DOES NOT WORK, this was what I didn't know until now... 

If you do this correctly, you can confirm it by looking for

 0:52:56 BattlEye Server: Config entry: RConPort 2305
 0:52:56 BattlEye Server: Config entry: RConIP 127.0.0.1

in the server log window. (The port may differ if you have chosen another one)

You should now be able to connect to the RCon port with DaRT, BEC or whatever admin tool you use (given that you've set up your firewall accordingly).

 

As of the question regarding sending commands to the server from in-game, I've now learned that you start by elevating your rights to admin by hitting enter in-game, then typing 

#login <adminPass> (the one you set up with passwordAdmin= inside the serverDZ.cfg file)

I found this here but since it doesn't seem to be an official site I'd not expect all the commands to work but it'll get you a good start of how to kick/ban players at least.
