Windows Dedicated Serv

[BATMAN122]

I convinced my dad to get a dedicated server (Windows Server 2003). I thought I would be able to set up a couple game servers, but when i go to start the game up, nothing happens. I have the shortcut on the desktop (im using remote desktop) with the +dedicated 2 +exec dedicated.cfg (where dedicated is the config file for the multiplayer server). It should be telling the server to start the server, but actually nothing happens. In the COD console that appears, it just tells the servers specs, and that is all...nothing else happens. When i type in status, it says server not running. If I type in a map, like map mp_brecourt then it acts like it will start up, then it last says restart server, and it shuts the console down.


I think if i can start this without looking for OpenGL, (since tehre is not video card on the srever) then it would start....really any ideeas would be dandy!


Any ideas guys? ANYTHING would greatly be appreciated!

weve already paid for this server...and there is no refund.

Poke around the FAQ's and setup guides. You need to establish a CFG file with a map rotation and exec that CFG on startup. You're starting the server, but haven't given it any directions on what to do once it's running.

i was just typing away madly..i am frustrated...lol ...

I have had a map rotate set up already...and have everything that they tell me in ALL the guides i have read, and i do have all of the correct exec strings after the source addy for the program. It acts as if it should start...then it does absolutly NOTHING! it scrolls down a little...then reshows all the pk3 files that it is loading then its getting ready to start map, and says


::RESTART SERVER::

and it closes the whole console prog. Whats up guys?

...again....any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
