Since the last L4D update on the April 30th my rcon won't work and it doesn't read the port.cfg

When the server starts its named L4D-Co-op Normal not the name I named it.

Thanks

Can you tell us your GC domain so we can have a bit of a look at how you're set up?

We have 104 L4D servers all working as they should, and that's using the files and properties that everyone else using GC will see.

[Pitbull]

yes its onlygameservers , I had 3 servers running last week and after the last update is when the troubles started. I reinstalled and manually updated also. Still the same thing.

Thanks

You've got scrds.exe twice in your command line for some reason.

Try reverting (hit default) your command line and see how it goes.

There was people playing in it so I haven't done it for you.

Everything looks in order apart from that though.

[Pitbull]

I wll try that

Thank You.

[Pitbull]

Still the same. I just don't get it.

Is the port%server:port%.cfg file being written to the server correctly?

What does the GC console say when you start the server up.

[Pitbull]

Ok here is what it says when I start server. And yes in cfg folder I have a port21000.cfg with all the correct info

I can't see what's wrong with it at the moment.

If you create a server.cfg file which contains

exec port21000.cfg

does it load up everything it's supposed to.

[Pitbull]

Yes it does.... now to get it to run multiples

[Steve]

This problem was being caused by the +exec banned_user.cfg part of the command line.

I've taken it out, and you should find your config files are now being used as they should.

[Pitbull]

Thank you very much.
