COD2 Server running problems

[Avocent]

The server wont even start..

 

I havent looked into the problem at all, but read something about some issues to get it started. I have imported the cfg from this forum, but the server wont start.

 

 

 

Any ideas?

This is the config we currently use on our test system. I t works 100% for autosetup etc...

 

 

 

 

 

Of course you will need to make sure the filepaths are the same in your system and install files for it to work.

What errors are you getting? Is it just not starting or starting and not joinable?

Go into service settings and check interact with desktop. The first time I ran it I needed to do that and click an ok thing. After that you can run in it console as a service again without a problem.

About the server not being able to load a map without a profile set....

 

 

 

I have a profile and active.txt is pointing to the profile folder, but still the server wont load a map and refer to its missing a profile set.

 

 

 

Any clue?

Taken from COD2 docs.

 

------------------------

 

Creating a Call Of Duty® 2 dedicated server requires the presence of a profile.

 

To manually create one, do the following:

 

 

 

Add "+set dedicated [1 = LAN, 2 = Internet]" to the shortcut for Multiplayer

 

 

 

Add the following folders:

 

[Call of Duty 2]\main\players

 

[Call of Duty 2]\main\players\[profile name] (Ex. [Call of Duty 2]\main\players\MyProfile)

 

 

 

Create a file named "active.txt" in "[Call of Duty 2]\main\players" with the profile

 

name in the first line.

 

 

 

Create a blank file named "config_mp.cfg" in [Call of Duty 2]\main\players\[profile name]

 

 

 

If done correctly, the user will get a message that the configuration has changed since the last

 

time Call of Duty 2 was last run. The user will be presented two options, YES and NO. Select YES to

 

have the correct config file automatically created for you. Once that has completed, you will be at

 

the dedicated server console.

On the CD/DVD in the docs folder of course

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW I see your from Pittsburgh! GO STEELERS!

[gr2gztch]

YEAH STEELERS ALL the way. I found the doc, when installing on a dedicated server do you use the regular files in the cod folder?

[Defcon|Rich]

Yes. The easiest way to do it is zip up your COD install and upload it to your server. From there you will need to create a server.cfg and just follow the instructions in the docs folder to get the file structure fixed up.
