Azlum 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Does anyone know how to save the server config with a hosting service? I googled all last night and couldn't figure it out, so I'm afraid to reset my server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icomrade 201 Posted August 14, 2012 What do you mean, the server.cfg/arma2oa.cfg or the database? The database cannot be saved, and your server config files are just text files which should be able to be copied onto your PC either by directly downloading or copy and pasting. If you had no access to any config file A. contact your host, B. ask why you don't get access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azlum 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Well I meant more so that people say they lose stuff when they restart. I read that you need to save the server before restarting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azlum 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Also without a restart to objects respawn on the ground after someone has cleaned them up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torndeco (DayZ) 46 Posted August 14, 2012 I think u are slightly confused if u want ftp into server & copy the config files...But they are just the configuration files for starting your server & settings..All of the tents / vechs / barbed wire etc are saved on the hive server, so all u do is restart the server.If u are using a managed server i.e with the likes of hfb / vilayer & others...Look into setting up a scheduled restart & add the time into the MOTD for your server.There is an issue atm where tents / vechs are not saving with most/all servers, but there is nothing u can do about it.Also if u are doing an unschedule restart is nice via a rcon tool to log into the server & send a msg giving a warning to players about restart & to remind them to save vechs & tents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
