Any luck running multiple servers on 1 box?

[Shadowhaxor]

I can run 4-5 cod:4 servers on my dedicated server, either by specifing the ip address with a different port or different ip address. However when I attempt to do this with CoD:WaW, the second server to start ends up stating server is not starting. Oddly enough I don't see what is perventing this.

I start up with the following per server;

(Not actual ips)

+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 10.10.1.1 +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 10.10.1.2 +set net_port 28960 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate

First one to start works, second one fails.

Any ideas?

I have three running (when the TDM server isn't crashing) on one machine using different IP addresses with no issues. I am running 2008 Server Standard with 8 gigs of ram.

Nothing at all shows up in the console or logs when you start it?

I have 2 running without any problems using 2 different IPs but each one also has their own complete folder files.

each one also has their own complete folder files.

That detail might be truly significant. This engine has had problems sharing the same files over different server instances before. It wouldn't surprise me to see them again.

Haven't tired that, I normally just use different config files. I'll check that next.

*edit*. Nope, that didn't help.

This is what it does when you run the second server;

OK, I got it. It looks like it stems from when I first had the server setup, on the my server I installed the beta vs extracting the files and running it from a stand alone folder. Now when I move the other config files to that stand alone folder and edit my server batch files, they both work.

That was kinda dumb on my part:rolleyes:.
