Hello there nice to see you taking interest. I am sorry for a late reply since I had been on holiday for the past week If you are still interested in joining the team please click the link in my sig and give us a yell on our forum.
Thanks guys but if it werent for you guys there would be no team so you all should take the credit
Oh and whitey6272 the server was down for afew hours today due to alot of work being done. Since this servers primary job is to power my work phonelines when they are being updated/changed they whole thing goes down. But something was being modified lol
Our Team is recruiting we don't hold many events but we are active have our own server and slowly growing in size doesn't matter about your skill level any class/skill of driver is welcomed. If you wanna find out more the link to our team site is in my siggy, give me a shout on our forums
Happy hunting dude.
Ah yeah I tried that and it works, all thats different in the two config files is the server name, password and the tracks avaliable lol. I think what i'll have to do is if i need the private server (for team events etc...) i'll just close off our public server for the duration of the event. It's probably the best and most stress free way lol thanks for all your help guys much apprieciated!
The host names are different lol, and I know that was quite stupid of me saying about avg forgive me lol its boiling hot and ive been working all day I'll have to check about the security but I have now had one server running fast and problem free for days, the second server works for a little while then stops lol I have done all the same as my original except change port numbers and the config (as mentioned in previous posts) So if it was a security issue wouldn't it have effected the original server too which is running smooth? This stuff is so confusing lol
Lol I will have to find all that out for ya. I don't really know since the server is my work server I only have a remote connection to it so I can host games etc.. I will ask the guy who owns it when he comes online and will get back on that one asap I wish I knew but im new to all this.
Oh actually I do know it is using AVG free edition thats all lol
through both I have tried connecting via lfs world and the game itself, looked at the host details on lfs world and in game it appears for a little while then vanishes, i look in the dedi server box it hasnt come up with any error messages so I am completely lost on this one lol
Just one last problem then i'll go away lol I have got the private server running fine on the same machine now, however every now and then the second server will disappear and wont be found by the master server, resulting in not being able to connect. Could this be a problem due to it showing the same IP address?
If anyone knows anything on this that would be great,
Many thanks,
Dale
I have made 2 seperate directories on the server machine, both using unique files and setups, all the ports have been forwarded correctly, like i did with the first server.
I don't know about the binaries though as I am new to all this lol and don't really understand that one.
with the first server i am using default ports
63392 and insim: 29999 which all works perfect
with the second i changed them by one number so its
63393 and insim: 29998
Oh and yes I have told them to use different ports within the setup.cfg
Ahh I see, well if that should work on one machine using different ports any idea why it won't connect to the game? Could it be both servers using the same port to connect to the master server? And any ideas if it is possible to change that?
Thats what I had done originally and my second server was appearing on the master server, I could select to join it in game however doing it this way I was unable to join the server since it would just sit there when i hit connect. And in the server window that would give a warning something about two instances of lfs being open.
Hi I would like to know if it is possible to host 2 servers off the same server machine. I am currently running my host on a windows 2003 server machine. I was wondering if it were possible to then host another but changing the game ports. I tried that though and it appears on the master server however it just sits there doing nothing when I try to connect.
Why I wanted to do this was so me and my team can have a private server to train in etc...
Any help would be apprieciated,
Many thanks,
Dale.
