Cant get rcon to work in SH ded server

[SNYPE]

I have my server running but havent been able to get rcon to work. I used the default cfg file (with minor changes) and added the set rconpassword "xxxxx" to it and when I bring up the console, and type in rconpassword "xxxxx" it says Server not running. Basically the same config I have been running on Mohaa for months now.
That response usually means you are not connected or havent put in the password yet (and I have done both already).
Ideas what to look for?

try this

seta rconpassword "xxxxxxx"

use seta instead of set

If you want it to work.

type it like this.
rconpassword xxxx

Forget the set and the seta.
and are you playing in the same computer that you want to control.

then you dont need to use rcon in front of the commands.

[General_Death]

type it like this.
rconpassword xxxx

That works fine for me;)

If you are already in the server, use the "set rconpassword XXXXX" command in the console.

If it's a dedicated server, use "seta rconpassword XXXX" in the .CFG file.
