Authentication Problem

[LoveBug]

Thanks bitwise for checking your logs, yes the problem is both for local and global login types

The server code im using was downloaded from the linux bin packages link on your main site and installed without a problem

Thanks again to everyone
This is a really strange port issue, I hope someone can find a solution

I could try if I get the server logs.

[LoveBug]

my server doesn seem to be generating any logs or ive been unable to find them

[ImagineProgramming]

/var/log/armagetron-dedicated.log doesn't exist?

[LoveBug]

its not in /var/log for sure so I scanned the whole drive and its not there

i have score, ladder and the other logs but not the one we need

[Z-Man]

In that case, we can only try to work around the immediate problem and can't fix the cause. Set

Code: Select all

SERVER_DNS 94.193.96.32

somewhere in your config and adapt it should your IP change.

thanks i'll try that

Z-MAN ! WOW setting server_dns solved all the problems thank you so much

Now im going to ask you why did it solve the problem

Thanks again

[Z-Man]

It solves because by setting SERVER_DNS, you tell the server its public IP. Unlike what happens when you connect to the masters, it does not tell the server the public port, however; so if it's set, the server just assumes the public port is SERVER_PORT, which usually is correct.

(And actually, the current error message for those problems tells you to do that. The error message you got mentions SERVER_IP instead, which works similarly, but differently enough to not actually solve the port problem.)

I think I should read your answer again when im not tired, Nothing makes any sense when im tired and I get very ratty

I'll be back
