mibz0r 141 Posted September 30, 2012 Anybody have any idea at all?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omaran 18 Posted September 30, 2012 It could be any number of things, first things to check are firewall and if you have you mission file set correctly in your config. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibz0r 141 Posted September 30, 2012 It is from a provider not some server I have set up myself so these should not be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omaran 18 Posted September 30, 2012 Probably a good idea to contact your GSP then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibz0r 141 Posted September 30, 2012 I thought maybe someone on here would have an idea why it was happening so at least then I can tell the GSP that when I contact them, Thanks for the reply but I'm looking for answer that aren't so obvious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireWalker 2 Posted September 30, 2012 You need to tell them exactly what you told us. I assume that you updated all your game files on the server... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibz0r 141 Posted September 30, 2012 No use contacting the GSP on a Sunday night so thats out of the window, I thought MAYBE someone could help me and might have an idea why I'm seeing that screen. Also the server shows in PlaywithSix as "waiting" so is this a problem with Instance ID or similiar?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireWalker 2 Posted September 30, 2012 I'm sorry that I couldn't be more help. I have three servers and have never seen that.But, when you do find out what is causing the problem, it would probably help the community if you posted back exactly what was wrong.Good luck. When I get home I'll PM you and try to login to your server and see what it says on my end; if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omaran 18 Posted October 1, 2012 What I said could still be an issue with the GSP not setting it up properly, i.e. firewall or misconfiguration with the mission file.If you have FTP access first check your mission file is in the MPMissions directory, then check your server.cfg and look fortemplate = dayz_INSTANCE_ID.Chernarus;^^ make sure INSTANCE_ID is the same number as your mission file. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mibz0r 141 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) @Omaran (or anyone who can help) so if I see this in cfg "template = dayz_NUMBER.Chernarus" and NUMBER doesn't match the #ID I can see when selecting my server in cpanel thats why my server will not start?? because it is currently different and I need to get my server up asap Edited October 1, 2012 by Oldy1Kenobi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibz0r 141 Posted October 1, 2012 Sorted now thanks to the advice from Omaran, the server.cfg has a typo in the instance id which once changed allowed me to start the server properly.@Omaran You have my Beanz, crates full of them in fact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
