server wont start

shifty · Post by **shifty** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 9:13 am

I had Warcraft working properly a while back on a different server... when i first installed it back then, it worked right away... i was amazed on how little it took to get working....

Now that i know a little more about being an admin... I'm trying to set up a new server with warcraft3FT and i've been trying for two weeks to get it installed....i tried putting all my old files on... i tried re-installing my server and putting just warcraft on.... but i cant figure out why warcraft keeps the server from starting... when i comment out the warcraft plugin, the server starts... please help...

I really dont want this to get locked.... but i dont know what else i need to put... I guess i could tell you it's a dedicated server...

Neither can we if you don't give us what to work with so, please, follow How to ask for and get help in the Warcraft 3 FT forum (note that I said please, though I shouldn't have to if you had read the forum rules).

As above.

Never mind him, I think the drugs are having effect... he almost can't speek anymore, it's a disgrace... Of course you have to use Steam, it's illegal otherwise (what he means, though he has very poor punctuation skills, is that you should follow the guide on the Warcraft 3 FT site - cheers Geesu).

(and again please rename the topic to something more specific as stated in the forum rules)

ok, here:

Problem:

I have set up my dod server and put all of the warcraft files on it in the right places, when i try to start warcraft mod on my server by un-commenting it in the plugins.ini, the server doesn't start. when i go back and disable the warcraft plugin, the server runs just fine. hence, the warcraft plugin is keeping my server from starting.

hardware/software:

Code: Select all

Hardware: I'm not at my home computer so i cant do a command from my server but it is a rental from nukeservers, so whatever the standard might be, if you have an idea. the datacenter is in illinois. 

software: day of defeat with the exact files that come with your day of defeat download for a Windows server. so amxmod and metamod and i plan on putting adminmod on as well after i get warcraft working...

I dont have the startup sequence right now because i'm not at my home computer but maybe that much info will help, if you need my startup log, i can get it to you in a day or two,

thanks,

-Shifty

I'm afraid this will be fundamental, since the rest is too vague to even start with.

(well, at least you tried...)

Cheers,

shifty:

Please post "logs\L0917000.log" and "logs\L0917001.log" instead (this one doesn't have the startup sequence).

I went to go get the logs for you and when i opened up the one that i posted for you, it showed up with like 4 more lines then before.... it's too bad they didn't show up for me a little earlier so i didn't have to bother you guys.... here are the missing lines in the end of the file... apparently i was missing a sprite.... lol,

thanks for the help lazarus,

There you go, it should be in the full package you downloaded, but grab it from the cstrike or czero folder if not.

This is why we insist in all that information, you solved it by yourself, simply by searching what we asked.
