    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    it`s the database connection problem. Triple check your odbc.ini and your pings.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    Did you try pinging the CentOS server from your computer and vice versa?

    Had a situation back then when I can "ping" my CentOS/Cabal server from my computer but was getting "Request Timed Out" when I tried pinging my computer from the CentOS/Cabal command line.

    Turns out that Windows Firewall was turned on an was blocking my connection to the CentOS/Cabal server.

    Turned it off and was able to login and play.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    There is no tutorial to install the gm tools as there is no installation process, you just launch them.

    Look in the services list in the admin tools folder in your control panel. If you have a slash in the mssql server name (e.g. mssqlserver\express) then you installed as a "named instance" which is wrong and you need to reinstall mssql. If you use mssql 2005 also check that remote connections are enabled in the "surface area configuration" as they are disabled by default.

    You can find a full guide for mssql 2005 in my sig.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    hmm.. how exactly do i launch them? all i get in the file were php files which i cannot launch juz like tat.

    i reinstalled my mssql. now its not a named instance anymore. but~ when i tried to make a linked server earlier, it said that it couldnt connect somehow, but i managed to get the linked server made safe and sound.

    now im installing centos. hopefully i can make it done this time x_x

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    Uhm.. When you configed your server with Cabal_install command in the terminal, did you type your WINDOWS LAN IP? Because that IP will be your MSSQL Server IP. Thats also what you need to type when you use Chumpy's GM tools. ;)

    Hope that helped. ^^

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    I think his server is installed as a named instance. No matter how clearly i state in the guides and post here people still don't understand that a default MSSQL 2005 install will not work as the configuration is wrong. The db server must not be a named instance and must allow remote connections. To make life simple always enable mixed mode authentication.

    Once done copy the GM tools to the actual machine with mssql installed, use 127.0.0.1 as the db server ip and your "sa" user/pass. Do not tick "NT Auth". If your configuration is right that will work, if your configuration is wrong it will not.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    If you want the server to only be accessible via the LAN then when you run cabal_config and it asks what IP players will connect to use the centos lan ip (cabal_config should find this and display as the "local ip"). Your client internal.txt shhould also use lan ip.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    Snaity's patch is quite old now and was designed for a Chinese client if i remember right. That would probably explain the random crashes as we tend to use a US client and either aur0n's patch or mine (which is based on his).

    If you hve set the server to listen on lan addresses and can't connect then either the centos lan ip has changed or the firewall is on unless it's an mssql problem. Try capturing another set of logs from the new config.

    Re: [Help] Can't connect to my server.

    Either the centos firewall is on or you have a vmware networking problem. Can centos ping the mssql server ip?
