matchserver log?

[own_prox]

nah prob was that i didn't have the odbc setup properly or have a password to sql, but now it wont let me access server... everything is running.

[wesman2232]

oh ok :)
Make sure your password is correct and stuff, check the configs not trying to make you sound like a noob :P just trying to help :D

[own_prox]

nah the passwords are fine because the matchserver and agent and locator all function together but the client isn't letting me access the server

[wesman2232]

then its in either system.mrs or config.xml of the client folder.
It wouldnt let me access server while I had 0,0,0,0 in config.xml when i put my ip in it I finially got on :P

[Mafia_JJ]

Ok, I have checked all of these btw im the one hosting, and I didn't have the right ip in for config.xml so I changed that and now it says cannot acces server right away before it like tryed to for like 10 sec. Also I am sure system.mrs is fine, but I will check with raul when he gets on and im guessing port forward? Also error is -1

[wesman2232]

E -1?
If so I believe the error means that the DB is missing a table. I have only seen it in the LegacyGamers files though.

[own_prox]

there is no error 1.... justin dosn't know how to start it up right or he tampered with the DB, OR, its because i parsed the db insted of executing it.

[wesman2232]

ok, im not sure lol
this is one of those things that go on until I cant figure out whats going on anymore :P

[own_prox]

im 10000% sure it's our client... config, and system inside system.mrs are the only things we need to change correct

[Mafia_JJ]

what do you mean idk what im talking about? we had this error last night also.

[wesman2232]

config.xml im not sure if you have to edit it but it worked for me.
system.mrs is what you have to, or ZLocator something, I have heard that one too if its in there.
Then do all of the configs for server-side.

[own_prox]

nyer helped us alot thnx for trying.

[wesman2232]

ok, I tried lol
Nayr may I ask how you fixed? Im kind of working on a "Official Fix Thread and I need to get atleast 5 maybe 10 fixes in it before I think its good for Gunz sections :P

It could also be the ip adress in the database. Actually the Locater uses the database to fetch the ip adresses it needs for the servers.

Its located at Serverstatus.

I gues its ODBC
