[Yassin]

Hi All
IM the head Admin of the main ISp PUblic Servers in POrtugal (sapoPlaY)
We have 3 servers running (2 tdm and 1 obj)
The COnfig´s files Are all ok cause before the problem happens they were running normally.
One day with no apparently REason The console stop to work... Every command i put there..Doesn´t have a respond from console nothing happens even badrconpassword or other message
I can´t find the problem and i´ve already restart the servers several times :oops: and the problem persists at the 3 servers..
THe cfg´s are not the problem i have sure and the exec comand is alright too..ui console and dedicated commands are there
I heard That clanbase servers had the same problem sometime ago..
Can Anyone HElp me.. cause at this momment i cant controll the servers..they are running but without any admins
Thank

This statement won't help you much, but I have to say it.

Wow, that's one crazy config file you've got. I've never even seen some of those variables (assuming they're Quaked). I'm assuming that the ones commented out don't work, and by the variable setting for chatter I'm also assuming you run on Linux? Just confirming the OS as this will help the geniouses around here help you out.

I ran into this with our ILan server and the official word I got was that it's a bug in the game. The cure for it is to physically restart the server. Apparently if your server is running none stop you'll only see this about every two months or so...well that's about how long between times it's happened for us. Because our main server is a rental, I usuall shot ILan an email and within a few hours they've rebooted the machine and it's all good to go.

CHiken yes it´s a very complete cfg and really some commands dont work like Svpure or teambalacing or g_motd but they are there :) cause someday it may work :) the OS iS WIndows... i want yo change it no Linux but the ISP are no very rececptive to my idea

SGt D thanks for your answer i´ll do that and then say here if it worked! :) anyway thank you very much :D

Well, to be quite honest, you might be better off.. for now, anyway. Reason I say that is because no one knows for sure if the Linux patch for the Expansion pack will be available with the release. On the other hand, I know how you feel because my provider gave me the same reaction about using Linux.
Him: You're not one of those Pro-Linux junkies, are you?
Me: No, why?
Him: Because they're a pain in the ass! :D :D :D
