You'll have to make sure of a few things for it to work correctly.

Check that you have the correct write permissions set on the host you are trying to install the games on.

Check that all of the appropriate files are listed in the package.txt for that game.

Make sure you have proper connectivity with your own content server, that it is configured to point to the appropriate address.

I work on windows server 2003.

what do you mean with

Also make sure the files on your content-server can be read from the web.
Try to fetch a file with your web-browser and see if you get a permission
denied, 404 or similar error message. (Although that should lead to files with
the error-message on your game-server, but worth checking out anyway).

I can acess my files in the webbroser.
I user no-ip.com cause I have a dynamic ip.
and I use port 8080 redirection, I mean with this milow.no-ip.org = 81.165.29.15:8080 (fake ip)
So I set http://milow.no-ip.org for content server in my gamecreate panel.
Now, there is a tool Content Server Support Files
I donwload it, I ran that bat file, but I didn't got a txt file or sometin.

Kind regards

Ah, then that's your problem! If your .bat didn't complete, then GC doesn't
know which files to download from the content-server. Can you show the
command-line you run, and the output from the .bat-file?

Hellow.

This is the command line of my .bat file.

@echo off
echo.
D:\xampp\php\php.exe -q build-update.php callofduty4
pause

This is the output giving in cmd

As far I know this is correct?

My map structur
D:\G_Server_Content in this map is a map called win32
and in this map win32 there are the directorys of the games Smile

The sub directorys I use:
- callofduty4
- sof2

Thnx in avance

Luckily for you Dutch isn't that unlike German and
English, so I think I understood you Wink

In your win32 directory, do you have a file called
callofduty4.txt? Can you post its contents here?

lol sory, changed my topic to english Smile

Wel I don't get callofduty.txt Sad

Hmm... that's odd. My guess is that your directory
structure is wrong, but I really don't know. Can you
show exactly how your directory structure is, starting
from D:\G_ Server_Content? Where are your .bat
and .php files located?

Perhaps if you could do this, and post the output of
both the dir-commands?

milow · Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:13 pm Post subject:

This is the output

Kybber · Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:41 pm Post subject:

That seems ok. What about the first dir command?

Sorry, I am lost. Guess you need Steve or Andrew's
help here.

Just one more thing you could try: Create a dir
called 'linux' parallel to the win32 directory. If the
bat-file still fails to see any changes to the installation,
then I have absolutely no idea what is wrong. It
just doesn't make any sense that GC says there are
no changes since the last version, when there isn't
a last version (as indicated by the lack of a
win32/callofduty4.txt file)!
