Server shows up as empty! Help please!

[tsa_buzzkill]

First I want to thank everybody for the help I've already gotten. Even though this is my first post, I have been leeching knowledge from this site for quite a while to help set up my server.

Now for my problem. Our server shows up on the server list as empty, even though there are people in it!?! This is a bummer because if people have empty servers filtered out they wont see us, and if they do see our server, they dont get in to play cause they think its empty. Also, our server shows up as 0/4, even though it should allow 8 people. Here is our config file:

dont know if this is whats wrong but i had 2 private slots
for the admins
and after the 1.3 patch mine showed up as empty
i removed the 2 slots and all worked like i said am not sure if that was the problem or just rebooting fixed it

Buzzkill, this will be a stupid question, but have you restarted your server since you made your last changes? It only reads from the config file when the server starts.

Also, I don't see your server online right now. There is a great web utility for checking online status of servers and players at the link below:

Thanks for the replies. I will try taking out the private slots. It has been restarted since changes so I dont think it that is it. Also it isnt on right now, the server should be on this evening at 10:00 pm EST. I will check that infinity ward link you posted tonite when the server is on. Thanks

You have 8 total slots on your server, and 4 of them are private, in the in-game browser only the public slots are shown, that's why it shows only 4 slots available, The other thing is that if someone gets in your server using the private password, they wont show on the browser either. Example: 8 total slots, 4 private, 4 players with private password=0/4, get it?
