PunkBuster CFG Problem

[wcSki]

I have these lines in my server.cfg file

wait 5
exec pbsv.cfg

But I do not think the pbsv.cfg file is being executed because I can not seem to get my server streaming.

I placed the pbsv.cfg file into the pb folder on my server. I read somewhere that it would be found there, but when I log into rcon on the server and put in this command:

/rcon exec pbsv.cfg

and press enter I get this:

ERROR: couldn't execute pbsv.cfg

Now I am assuming that it is not being executed when my server is rebooted either. So does anyone know what the problem is?? or what I need to do to have the pbsv.cfg file executed when the server is rebooted?

Thanks

You do not need to execute the pbsv.cfg from your game server's config file.

When the pb server is started it should execute it automatically.

Make sure this is in your game server's config:


pb_sv_enable
wait
set sv_punkbuster "1"

In addition to what Brian has said, try these commands at your console, or using rcon:
pb_sv_logaddr //should return rep.punksbusted.com
pb_sv_LogPort //should return your game port (28960?)
pb_sv_LogUser //should return the clan id you registered with

If the returns don't happen properly, then go to punksbusted.com and look for streaming troubleshooting.

I did both those checks.

I had this in the server.cfg


set sv_punkbuster "1"

So I added this:

pb_sv_enable
wait

I then rebooted the server and logged into rcon to check these

pb_sv_logaddr //should return rep.punksbusted.com
pb_sv_LogPort //should return your game port (28960?)
pb_sv_LogUser //should return the clan id you registered with

They still did not load from the pbsvlog.cfg file. While I was on the server I set them myself using the rcon commands. It seems that is the only way I can get them to enter. I am not sure the pbsv.cfg file is still being executed.

Find your pbsv.cfg file in your PB directory and make sure this entry is in it:


pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg

I have that right at the end for the pbsv.cfg file. It is really strange that this doesn't seem to be working. It appears I have everything setup correctly.

The pbsvlog.cfg file should look like this:


;PsB Repository Commands
pb_sv_logaddr rep.punksbusted.com // Repository IP Address
pb_sv_logport 24425 // Repository Port
pb_sv_loguser xxxxx // Your Clan ID


With the 'xxxxx' part your clan's ID number given to you by punksbusted.com

Make sure the pb_sv_logport setting is 24425

Yea... it looks just like that... except I entered my ID, but it does not seem to be executing when I do a restart of the server and punkbuster. strange...

I have to login to rcon on the server and manually set those lines to start streaming again.
